2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0T test drive review. Obsessed with Red Obsession

Make no mistake; the Cadillac ATS is a world-class sports sedan.  Sure, it’s easy to dismiss it as just another Cadillac, but don’t let the familiar looks fool you.   If you’re in the market for a BMW 3-Series and you don’t test drive an ATS, you’re not doing yourself any favors.  Take this 2014 ATS 2.0T Premium that I had the opportunity to drive last week.  Not only was it a great running and handling car, but certain aspects of the styling were beyond expectations.

2013 Cadillac ATS test drive review. Less Cadillac, more BMW

If you are someone planning to trade in your old Cadillac DTS, you’ll be in for a shock when you get behind the wheel of the all-new Cadillac ATS.  But if you’re looking to trade off your BMW 3-Series, you’ll feel right at home.

You see, this is not like any other Cadillac you’ve been in before.  It’s short.  It’s narrow.  It only weighs about 3,400-lbs.  But don’t mistake the phrase “little Cadillac” with “the second-coming of the Cimarron.”  This is a brand new car built on a state-of-the-art platform specifically for Cadillac.  This is a very good car; a driver’s car.  The first time you get behind the wheel, you’ll know immediately that this is something special.
