TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Cadillac ATS

2017 Cadillac ATS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
Unfortunately, the "why nots" from three years ago remain. The compact Cadillac sedan's rear seat hasn't gotten any larger, and the coupe's is even tighter. Meanwhile, Audi, Lexus, and Mercedes have introduced competitors with roomier rear seats. At 5-9 I can sit behind myself with a little room to spare in the ATS sedan, and virtually none to spare in the ATS coupe. Drivers who need the seat further back than I do will eliminate leg room for all but the shortest rear passengers. see full Cadillac ATS review

TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2017 Cadillac ATS

2017 Cadillac ATS Powertrain: Pros
YearComment
2016 For the ATS-V, Cadillac developed a turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 that can churn out 464 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. These figures, far above the already well beyond adequate 2.0T's 272 and 295, place the new engine between the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six in the BMW M3 (425 hp, 406 lb-ft) and the turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 in the new Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (503 hp, 516 lb-ft). In magazines' track testing the three cars all get from zero to 60 mph in a little under four seconds--they're all extremely quick. Over 60 mph the Cadillac starts pulling away from the other two. Perhaps because of the engine's relatively large displacement boost lag is all but absent. Acceleration feels like an effortless shove. The Cadillac engine's weaknesses, to the extent it has them, are subjective. Much like that in the Audi S4 and S5, this boosted V6 doesn't sound or feel like anything special. A similarly powerful big V8, like the one used in the related, also new-for-2016 Chevrolet Camaro, would have sounded more thrilling. Quite a few people wish the ATS-V was powered by the V8 instead of the turbocharged V6. For those willing to trade some agility and much additional cash for downright brutal acceleration, Cadillac recently introduced a new CTS-V with a 640-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter V8. One thing the CTS-V no longer offers: a manual transmission. The V8-powered Audi, Lexus, and Mercedes don't offer one, either. This leaves just the M3 and the ATS-V for fans of the third pedal. As is generally the case in recent years, the Cadillac ATS-V isn't quite as quick with a six-speed manual transmission as it is with an eight-speed automatic. You give up a few tenths. But you get a much more thorough and direct connection with the car. The shifter snicks through short, solid, precise throws from gear to gear. The clutch doesn't provide as much feedback, and grabs near the top of a fairly long travel, but requires surprisingly little effort considering the amount of torque its managing. For downshifts you can select rev-matching--no need to blip the throttle yourself or rely entirely on the synchros. And during full-throttle acceleration you can keep your right foot planted while shifting--the power train computer will automatically manage the fuel flow while the clutch is depressed. Yes, I'd get one with the manual. In typical daily driving there's minimal need to work the transmission, as the engine is torquey and the transmission's gear ratios are tall. Boost hardly ever comes into play, as the engine is large enough to get by just fine without it. Unlike the second-generation CTS-V, but like most current competitors, the ATS-V does a fairly good impersonation of a transportation appliance in typical daily driving. Drive it casually, and your passengers will have no idea they're riding in a car with such tremendous potential. see full Cadillac ATS review
