- Reliability (3)Reliability for the ATS is generally average. While not plagued with widespread issues, some owners have reported minor electrical glitches or infotainment system quirks.
- Maintenance (3)Maintenance costs are typical for a luxury compact sedan. Parts and labor can be more expensive than non-luxury brands, but it's comparable to its direct German rivals.
- Technology (3)CUE infotainment system can be frustrating to use due to its haptic feedback and sometimes slow response times. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, which helps, but the overall interface feels a bit dated compared to competitors.
- Comfort (3)The front seats are supportive, but the rear legroom is quite cramped, making it less ideal for adult passengers on longer trips. The ride can also be a bit firm over rougher pavement.
- Dynamics (4)The 2018 Cadillac ATS 2.0T offers sharp steering and a well-tuned chassis, making it genuinely fun to drive on winding roads. The turbo-four provides adequate power, though some rivals are smoother.
