Cadillac ATS-V Sedan - One Take

GM's chassis engineers are some of the best on the planet. Their fast cars are really, legitimately, fast cars, especially the fast Caddy's. The ATS-V sedan undercuts the BMW M3 in price (because of course it does), while offering more power in a slightly smaller package. Does it work?

Driving that fast and speaking coherently and with substance is a major talent. Props Farah.

Love the overall design of the ATS-V, Cadillac sure knows how to make a aggressive looking super seden.

holly shit. from our point of view it looks like your really hauling some serious ass on that road. Seems like one of the fastest cars youve taken through that road in a while

[mikhailSRT]

are you kidding me sounds great . why does everyone bash these cars. when the perform so great.

[fcgodftw]

Not an American car fan but daymn son, these cadillacs sure do look very nice!

[timmietz]

This will be a great 2-year old used car value at $40k.

I love how honest you are. Keep up the great videos Matt! Thanks for the consistent content.

[nezerac]

Jesus this thing is fast. Also if you watch this high you're gonna flip out and think matt's gonna die like 10 times. lmao!

The ATS has the basics done right. Like Matt stated Cadillac just need to address the small details to make a top class car. And given GM's focus on Cadillac these past few years I say they are doing a good job so far.

GM's 8 speed keeps getting slack because in manual mode it is not as fast in shift speed as reviewers would like, . But here is the thing. Its perfectly fine in automatic mode were you have the car setup in track mode. The computer is so intuitive and always has the car in its perfect gear. You simply can not be involved in the automatic 8 SPEED. If you want driver involvement then buy the manual transmission.

Love these 10 min reviews where you are actually driving on a cool road rather than some of the other glitzed up big production reviews.Thanks and hope you keep doing them

I have had the ats-v for about a month now and I love the car. Very fast. Handles amazing and the 8 speed auto is not so bad when you learn how to use it. When you are in manual mode you need to learn the correct times to downshift and it will respond very fast. The upshifts are fast when you are on the gas and hits hard. Very solid car and the acceleration is nasty. Very nice powerband. This has a big turbo type is high rpm pull that you don't get from other cars. Builds power the whole way up the rpm range. Tons of torque

I'm just here doing research after just reserving a CT4-V Blackwing. I'm sure I watched this five years ago, but I needed a refresher.

[chrissorreda]

Oh my god that thing is fast. Props to Matt's driving ofcourse but he wouldn't go that fast if the car couldn't handle it.

[PayneSS]

Don't get the CUE hate on all the reviews. Got my ATS yesterday, figured it out the same day. Love it.

[bigtreesfall]

I test drove one last week and I have to say that your assessment is spot on!

[Mrlive]

Cadillac completed their mission with the ATS. They created a car that can compete neck and neck with the Germans at a lower price. None of them handle like the ATS. Like people have said the transmission is smart all by itself..if you want to drive it fast leave it in auto. Its only the first generation and will only get better.

[ilandmanevr]

You were getting it with this ATS-V. Hauling the groceries dear I say. Awesome vid Matt

[nathanscott]

This is a very well rounded beast! Handles so well! Damn! I actually like the sound.
