Cadillac ATS-V Coupe 6-Speed - One Take 

I understand people get used to seeing Matt, but I'm a huge fan of this Zack guy. He's really articulate.

Finally, somebody had the balls to say that this car is better then the BMW M4! It's like car enthusiasts are afraid to say it. Great review and thanks for telling the truth. Awesome road for a performance car.

Honestly, this one take was the best one I've seen. Sure Matt is entertaining and fun, but when it comes to these type of videos the dialog is so important and Zack held my interest the entire video. Even towards the end where usually the video falls off, he is still engaging the audience with his unique perspective. Would love to have more videos of Zack doing these and offering a real perspective. His calm and collective persona induces thought much more than Matt and really resonated well with what claims he made.

I am down for more Zack. Easy to listen to and knowledgeable.

I love your analogies. They are spot on and show you truly know what you're talking about. If you can't explain it simple enough, you don't understand it enough.

What an awesome guy, keeps it real and is straight to the point with a little bit of attitude and humor. Love the ATS-V.

definitely need more zach one takes. he did really good

If matt is coffee, this guy is tea one you drink to wake up and get hype the other you sip pondering

I like the way you described "steering feel", Zack. I've never understood what good steering feel completely meant. Thanks.

Great one-take, Zack

I'd like to see more of Zach on here it's s nice change from Matt every once and a while

Very good video! I actually enjoy watching Zack the most honestly. He speaks very intelligently.

This feels more like a review than an One Take Good job, Zack

Stop feeling cracks with your fingertips man.

"The fear of the unknown is something that is very real in our DNA" The amount of dislikes in a video presented by not the usual dude proves it.

As much as like Zack, there's a bit too much talk and he doesn't put the car through it's paces the way Matt does. I'm not saying that this is a 'bad' thing, just that we are all used to Matt's style of One Take.

Can we do a review with Matt and Zach both in the car? This would be cool getting them both to drive and speak their thoughts

Once I saw Zack I was like "Here come the dislikes." It's ok Zack, I like you! Keep making videos man. Ignore the haters.

Good video Zack. You've definitely got your own unique style and I'd like to see you do other one-takes in the future.

GREAT One Take!!! I would love to see more One Takes from you, Zack! And Matt, of course!

Zack, you should do more one takes. Really digging this

Finally Zack at it again, he did a great job with the Audi R8 Plus review, more of him please!

Dude, good job Zach! This was a very mature and informative review while still remaining fun an funny.

I like Zach a lot. People will get used to him. Some thing happened to Hot Rod Garage on Motortrend.

Great video Zack. Folks think it's easy to commentate while driving. Talking to yourself in a car for a hour is a LOT harder than people think.

These roads with minimal guard rails give me the willies. 150-ft drop-offs, certain Deth, full Thelma and Louise, and Zack just bleems along at 75 with one hand on the wheel. Impressed.

I love Zack's reviews. He gives great presentation with tons of great information in a much more based and logical fashion than Matt. I also like all of the similes. Keep up the great work and I hope you get to review more and more cars in the future.

THUMBS UP FOR MORE ZACK!

I quite like Zack. He's a little different to Matt, and isn't that the point? Variety is the spice of life, and this is variety that I like.

I never comment, in general, but I have to say Zach, you are well-spoken and genuine.

Zack should definitely do more video's, his anecdotal approach is a welcome to change

I wanted to get mad that Matt wasn't hosting but I actually liked this guy. Great video.

Its refreshing to watch a Smoking Tyre reviewer who is not wearing a All Black zip up jersey. Good work Zac.

You guys forgot to put ats-v in the title

Thumbs up for the bassline reference!

I actually liked this guy's style. It was a refreshing change after listening to Matt complain about on center steering, performance clutches and not fitting in a seat. Well done sir!

I like this guy. He is very descriptive. Can really get you to understand what he is talking about

i like the contrast zach seems more like the metaphorical smart guy and matts the wise crack one liner guy, i like the balance.

I like how Zack took the opportunity and didnt try to copy Matt style of saying and doing such cars like this. I also like how he drove suttle and calm like most people who may buy this car.

The Cadillac for sure got better but the M4 is also not all that great currently.

Zach, you are an excellent reviewer and driver. I really enjoyed this because of your clarity, professionalism, touch of humor, and solid information - keep it up. :-)

Excellent review and the subjective criticism is especially helpful. Glad to see GM stepping up their game. Keep up the great job.

Great 1 take Zack! I have to admit that car is really appealing.

The "track pack" takes away the tow hook. Interesting decision.

I didn't read all the comments, but I'm sure you're gonna get a lot of shit being new on giving a review on camera, but I think you did a very good unbiased job.

I have had this car for a year and a half in the Auto. My sticker was around $73K. NO TRACK PKG. Then I got a great deal on it, so I have had most every hot car in my lifetime and i'm 66 yo. with out doubt the best handling and fastest car I have ever owned. The next best car was a 2007 Audi RS4. That was a great car too but not as fast. Who cares about the back seat no one gets to sit back there anyway. Knock wood no problems so far as with my BMW M3 and Audi RS4 that ha d erly problems and the M3 never handled close to this one.

This generation of "V" cars are much better quality-wise than the previous CTS-V's.....but when I grabbed a door handle of the CTS-V at the auto show it felt like one of my kid's Playskool toys. It had a sticker of $98K. You're 100% right. The materials all lack the mass that you want in a car that expensive.

Such a sublime looking vehicle, I love those new Cadillac designs so much !

Was never a real big Cadillac fan, but damn do I Love these.... Way to change the image of a car company in the past few years.

I don't think Matt needs to be the only person doing one takes. Let Zack, Thad (when he gets back) and Chris do reviews. They'll notice different things and you may even be able to produce more content because you're not just relying on Matt to film the videos.

Enjoyed Zach a lot! This felt more like a review than a one take. I'd love more of these.

Zack is a car guy, he sure knows his shit. Well done.

totally agree, american cars are no longer chasing german benchmarks they are in fact ahead now. I see ford offering tuning parts like superchargers and improved brakes from the factory for their new cars, I see GM showing no intention of dropping manual gearboxes, I see vipers beating lap records of a porsche 918, it just shows me that there's still a market for driving- as well as performance-enthusiasts. but in my opinion they can only compete with brands like bmw because german companies have stopped caring about performance much and rather go for luxury, swag and profit now. over the last 2-3 years I saw every german brand starting to build more and more aggressive looking cars with no performance to match that. many old M cars and AMGs can be considered sleepers, the new ones are the opposite they deliver artificial sounds and get owned by american cars around a track which are a lot cheaper and yet offer quality and luxury too.

Great job Zack! As someone who spends a lot of time leading people for work, my only advice would be to use some pitch change in your voice to add enthusiasm and be confident. You know more than we do! You drove the car. Don't be afraid to share your opinion. You did a great job today and I look forward to seeing where this goes.

I kinda like this new format where it is explained exactly what packages and value its in the car.

This dude knows how to talk about cars. He should do more of these.

Diamond -> Porsche -> BMW. I was cracking up!

This was a pretty solid video. Good job, Zack.

Ah pleasure seeing Zack again, I remember the video you made with the R8! Great video :)

Been waiting for more one takes from this guy. I like him

That got pretty deep for a one take, but I feel like Zack doing his own thing compliments Matt's style pretty well. It gives the channel more balance. The only thing missing here--I'm not the only person to notice this--is the more detailed engine/brakes/transmission stuff that we usually get in these videos. I wonder if it's because this car has already been on the channel.

Always like zachs videos refreshing and entertaining

Thank you for explaining steering feel. I had no clue what people meant by this.

I love cars!...but I ain't gonna be talking and driving vigorously whilst next to a billion foot drop off! so mad props to Matt and Zack.

Zack is a thinker and he really digs down into things and gives it alot of thought. Hes straight forward and honest without trying to sell you something. Ive heard him break down E36 M vs IS300 and he talked about them for weeks in podcasts. If he says somethings good its good. I think on the low he knows alot more than Matt does in certain aspects on things but somethings he forgets little details. So hes often over shadowed.

Zach should be on more often.

this guy is very knowledgeable and informative while still being easy/fun to watch. I wouldn't mind more of him or maybe him and matt together doing a one take or reviewing a car

I saw a Firebird at the end! Are we getting a review on a a well sorted Ls1 F body?

LOVED Zach in All Cars go to Heaven, and he KILLED this video. Thank you TST!

not to sound like a big troll but I think this was rather boring, too much talking and not enough driving. I'd rather read an article if I wanted to know all the details. I want to see how it drives!

liked this review. felt a little more like a review of a feeling rather than Matts reviews of things he likes/dislikes on said car. nice work

Lexus and Cadillac are making the biggest splashes and performance right now those are the two brands Germany need to watch out for

While I don't really like the overall design (both of interior and exterior), the point made in the end about brand loyalty and engineering was really eye-opening, made me respect this car so much more. Shame though the only cars with engines full of character are C63 and RCF in this segment. Another cool review Zack, hope to see you more.

Zack said everything that confirms I want this car ! Thanks For the ride.

Man this guy had some good analogies

Well spoken host. Good job sir.

Great review. Subscribed to watch One Takes for a while now, but this is my first comment. You need to be doing more of these. VERY articulate. Matt has his own style, and I think yours balances nicely.

The feeling i get from all Cadillac reviews is "God what a great car, how long can i talk about how great it is before i get to the part where i admit i'd never actually buy one"

This is the same guy who said the 911 turbo isn't a sports car because it does too many things well...

Zach's a very articulate and philosophical reviewer. I like Matt but let's see more of Zach, too.

this guy is very well spoken. love Matt's reviews but add this guy in more often...its refreshing

Get this guy on the show more often. Loved this review.

Would've been cool to have Matt in the passenger seat. Not a complaint though, awesome video Zack!

Zack, this was a good review. You broke down Electric Steering and the gauges and why this is not a car to miss. Matt's word is strong to a lot of males but you made me even more of a fan of this car than i already was. I think i still prefer the CTS V but if i had this car i'd still be excited every nice day to go out and drive it. You should do more reviews.

Awesome! So hyped to see more Zack.

I really, really liked this video!! Zack is an enthusiast and he knows what the hell he is talking about!

Nicely done Zack. I gotta say, your style is a great compliment to Matts'. Keep it up brother!

Ya know what the ATS-V needs? (aside from the underwhelming interior) Crazy colors. BMW's M cars have always had some iconic polarizing colors that just make the car pop and give them a real presence. Laguna Seca Blue, Austin Yellow, Yas Marina Blue, Imola Red. Even the Audis have some crazy yellows and blues. The ATS-V is a good looking car, but put it next to an M4 and they just don't have the same presence. If I were in the market I'd have such a hard time choosing between the two. On the one hand I love BMW and I'll admit I'm a fanboy, but I so want Cadillac to succeed. They've come so far since the first released the CTS.

Zack, I always like the analogies you use to describe different aspects of the car

BMW who? never heard of them.

I could get used to some One Takes with Zack in them. Very informative.

Awesome one take. Went through options and interior. And zack is cool

Cadillac and Volvo making the best looking cars this year. Also props to Mazda 6, with its slight tweaks going into the new model year, it looks smashing and best in it's class.

Easily one of the best one takes 👌👍.

Zack crushing it. Its almost overwhelming, he's like an information-gushing machine. Had to stop and backtrack like twice.

Great job Zack. Different style, which I like. Happy to see more videos of you in the future.

Matt is my boy, but it sure feels refreshing hearing another take on the One take. Job well done.

Wow. I was bummed out at first when I realized it wouldn't be Matt doing this review but you did a great job, man! My performance Cadillac closet obsession just got reinforced and somewhat validated. I want to test drive one of these. I can live without an Audi or BMW electronics interface if the driving experience is as good as you say.

at first I was like where is Matt, but Zack did a surprisingly good job. Keep it up!

Good week of one takes.
