Been looking at the Cadillac ATS (the 2.0L Turbo package), 14' - 15', they are rather dirt cheap for what they are and even on how new they are. I've found some with 50kKM on them for only 17 grand (CND).
Heard they have some issues, but the performance is good. What's the deal?
Cadillac ATS - HOLY Depreciation Go to base cuz no CUE. Otherwise, you will deal with unreliable infotainment system everyday. Do you know that the replacement of ATS will never happen because of extremely poor sales? Right now, Caddy is focusing on more FWD crossovers/SUV.
Asher Murphy
I did know that. But, they are replacing both the CTS and ATS with one car to continue the V program I heard. Unfortunately, I won't be able to afford such a car.
Aiden King
>they are rather dirt cheap for what they are No, just imagine it doesnt say Cadillac and says Mercury or oldsmobile on it.
Tyler Ramirez
>looking at american cars literally why
Elijah Nelson
Good point. I haven't ruled out other cars. But, Germans cars seem to be rather stagnant right now and are overpriced as always. I'm looking into a Acura TL as well.
Jackson Gutierrez
Great car. I almost bought one as well.
The infotainment system is the GM standard one but who gives a fuck about the infotainment?

>Cadillac ATS Dank
i love caddies and its on the zeta platform so its pretty reliable
t. oldfag who has a ancient Omega B2
Connor Cooper
They drive amazingly well, try to get one with the magnetic ride and the 2l 4 pot turbo They're dirt cheap because no one wanted one and they're just coming off lease
Infotainment is dogshit, but who cares?
Bentley Anderson
ATS is on the alpha platform that's used in the new Camaro
Jaxson Butler
Also similar to the Omega and Zeta platform as well may they rest in peices
David Young
no shit. this is a boomer old lady in se michigan car
Robert Ward
why isnt op getting the v8 one?
Ryan Reyes
There is no V8 ATS
Landon Foster
huh thats weird, do yanks LS swap them? I totally would they look sick
Jason Perry
OP's looking for cars that cost only $17k canuckbux. That little 2L turbo that comes with it can easily make good power in a well balanced chassis
Carson Reyes
wouldnt it be pretty light as well?
Tune the 2.0l up the boost
The V-Alpha series chassis love corners despite the gm cant turn meme they can GRIP
Christian Adams
No V8 ATS. Might be your confusing it with its bigger brother the CTSV?
Brandon Kelly
I like the sleekness of the ats tho
Julian Kelly
OP reporting in. Found a few, gonna go test em out. Even found some strange basic 2015 manual transmission one. See how that goes.
Blake Foster
Isn't the basic one the V6?
Jacob Sanders
No, V6 is the most powerful engine. Base model should have a naturally aspirated 4 pot making like 200bhp
Lincoln Bell
There is a turbo v6, but the ats-v is still fucking expensive
Easton Taylor
Correct. I am not settling for anything under the 2.0L Turbo. The V6's are actually quite a spike in price from the Turbo, most expensive I am looking at is 17.500. Cheapest is 14,700. But probably won't bother with that one to be honest, just wanted to see it.
Caleb Myers
The 2L turbo is your best bet, same engine in the new Camaro and has plenty of aftermarket support youtube.com/watch?v=DP0xjs5BJvA

Unless you are 100% certain you will be tracking or canyon carving a ATS, you'd be better off with an IS350. Alpha platform vehicles are horrible daily drivers and have bad reliability. I get to take my CTS V-Sport back into the shop since the replacement CUE system wasn't installed properly and rattles. They are awesome vehicles when they work, but even worse than BMW/Mercedes in reliability.
Dominic Clark
GF and I also have a Ford Feista. This will be my daily driver, but basically just work and back. The fiesta is for everything else.
I will be replacing my old 07 Colorado which is rusting out and slowly dying, still runs strong tho. I looked into the IS350s, but they are ridiculously priced and have way to many KMs on them. Good thing about caddy is that most of them I am looking at still have bumper to bumper warranty, and still within (by a large margin) powertrain.
