    Best thing about the ATS: it's getting great reviews and will hopefully be down in my price range (used) when I'm ready to buy a car in a couple of years. I'd probably go for the turbo version.
    After watching 20+ of your videos today, I have to say I really enjoy the laid back (very colorado) feel. You're also getting better with production quality and flow. I still think the videos could be trimmed down just a bit (I think people are looking at the 5-minute mark, but I'm sure you know better.)

      Just drove the 3.6 ATS at the dealership back to back with a 2.0t CTS and the CTS VSport...pleasantly surprised! It felt that little bit more nimble and its a lot of motor for the car. I liked it.

  • @jjuhring

    One more comment to Roman and Nathan, and to everyone confused about the 0-60 time in Denver. At 1 mile above sea level, a normally aspirated engine makes 20% less power than at sea level. Therefore the ATS is down over 60HP. This translates to approximately 1.5 second impact on the 0-60 time.

This will be a classic car in the future for sure. The CTS saved Cadillac from death, while the ATS made it a star... lets wish for more amazing things from Cadillac. Merry Christmas guys!, and Happy New Years, like always great review!

    Does the fact that the review says "Mile High Drive and Review" escape your attention? Or perhaps you missed the fact that we say and write that we are a mile above sea level in the video. Or perhaps the answer is much simpler. You simple are too uniformed about cars and engines to know what altitude does to horsepower. You might want to google it before posting such mean and stupid comments. You've been warned, next time you'll be banned from our channel.

    I know, but we are unique in doing 0 to 60 mph times in, what we call, "Real World Testing." Rarely are consumers speeding away from a traffic light with one person, no cargo and 1/4 tank of gas at sea level. Two big people in a car a mile up is a major task for the engine. If it does well in our testing, it's bound to do well for consumers worldwide.

    Thanks guys. As always an entertaining video review. Here is some "Christmas feedback" to Roman... Although you gave the ATS a "Buy it" rating, your only really positive comment on the car was the styling. Some additional commentary on why you gave the car a Buy rating would bring more depth and insight to the review. Ultimately isn't that the purpose of these videos? Or is it just to see if Nathan will fit?

    As always I enjoy your reviews. A few things I want to note...the Cue...good point about it being new and having bugs and also the touch sensitive buttons. Two, should have reviewed the 2.0T, I think it's a better engine...especially for those who want to do some aftermarket performance work to it. Three, it's nice being 5'7" in comparison to your heights. No issues fitting front or rear.

  • @fatboy19831
    @fatboy19831 12 років тому

    I think having 2 people in the Car 1 mile above sea level is a good thing. You know if its just you cruising in Miami you can crush 7.5 seconds to sixty. You can get the ultra quick times from Motor trend.

  • @fatboy19831
    @fatboy19831 12 років тому

    Do you have the 2013? It has more rear seat room. I am 6.5 and I have always considered the 3 and the A4 to be 3 seaters at best. My Celica could seat 4 more comfortably. So unfortunately if I am looking for fine German driving entertainment on a budget the Q5 or the X3 are my options. That is if I want to seat 4 from my family.

  • @TecnamTwin
    @TecnamTwin 11 років тому

    The current products which are coming out of General Motors are just a good as ANYTHING coming out of Germany or Japan. The new Cadillacs are in the top 5 now in terms of quality and safety. Not a bad spot in which to be. German cars will cost the owner up to 4 times more to repair too and almost 2 times more to insure. Cadillac now holds its value BETTER than Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagon, and is equal with BMW.
    70% of all new Cadillac ATS sales are from previous German car buyers.

    Grate review. GM has been dogging rear seat room on almost all of its entry level cars of late. I love this car but both the A4 and the 3 have now become slightly larger cars on the inside. When they drew up the ATS it was right with the competitors in size. Now it is the Baby. Wonderful Car. Keep the "Q" please.

Also no problems mechanically at all, and I bought the car with 28000 miles on it and it now has 44000. You won't be disappointed when you remember this car sold at dealer for 50000 dollars.

    @echtogammut 11 років тому

    Do you know what 1 miles above sea level is? 5280 feet above sea level, in other words, at higher elevations there is less oxygen, which means less power and thus will accelerate slower. At closer to sea level the ATS 3.6 does 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, which has been verified by several automotive magazines.

    GM cars are becoming really good and appeal is back no doubt! But there is a probleme with GM cars, espacialy for us in Europe,if Cadillac has a lack of good image compared to Germans the main problem is that behind the wheel, you have the same interior design than in Chevy and worst, in a Opel/Vauxhal. They should change more than materials. A Passat and a Audi A4 use the same platform, but outside and inside you don't see the same thing. For PSA a Citroën DS5 and Peugeot 508 are very different

The cue radio go full blast and I had to turn it off by turning the engine off. Try that doing 70 mph. This was coming from Mary Barra’s office. The worst. They offered me a choice of any new car or the money back plus interest. After 35 years of Cadillacs. This was my last
