Cadillac ATS
The Cadillac ATS is a compact four-door sedan or two-door coupe. It is a relatively new model compared to some of the others on this list. The ATS arrived as a 2013 model year but has already made a name for itself in terms of dependability, style, and features. For your peace of mind, a new ATS will have a new car limited 50,000 mile or four-year warranty and a 70,000 mile or six- powertrain warranty.
The Cadillac ATS arrived to fill a gap in the automaker’s lineup since there was never a true compact sports sedan until this model came along. Many see this model as Cadillac’s way to deliver the dependability and features the brand is known for while appealing to a new generation that wants a smaller vehicle.
In addition to the choice of a coupe or sedans, the Cadillac ATS is available as rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. You can also stick to a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder or go with the 3.6-liter V6 on the latest versions of the Cadillac ATS. There is even an ATS-V model that is high performance and delivers 464 horsepower via its twin-turbocharged V6 engine.
The Cadillac ATS was fairly similar between 2013 and 2017, available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder, a 3.6-liter V6, or a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder. Driving enthusiasts appreciate the option of a manual transmission in addition to the six-speed automatic. Throughout the ATS model history, the CUE infotainment system has also been reliable. Despite this, it was a bit convoluted to use in the earlier models, although this at least did not sacrifice dependability.
You will always find the Cadillac ATS to be well-equipped with features you love and can count on. Even the base model has power front seats, OnStar, Bose audio, a USB/iPod interface, and dual-zone climate control. You do, however, have to upgrade to get parking sensors, leather upholstery, and the 60/40 rear seat on models that are a few years old. Tall adults may feel a bit cramped in the rear seats, but this is expected from a small vehicle. The interior has quality materials that are not only tasteful and stylish but also designed to last.
