Review: 2017 Cadillac ATS-V (Manual) 

Davis Winn and the giggles that soon follow.

Davis Winn 9:05

Davis Winn 😂

Davis Winn this is also the only reason why I watch too

That is great! He's a good guy.

Glycerin v6 doe

Hugo Villarreal that just killed it for me

If he’d only start the fucking thing

Agreed. Real men use straight razors. Real drivers use three pedals.

gesalbte real women reuse bloody tampons

If I was rich I would buy one today! Love that 6 speed !

@@gesalbte Lol it's not a real manual. You don't need to take your foot off the gas pedal in order to shift.

I think i want this car gota do much more research

astront917 I love how excited he gets on the back road part of each video.

umm...We are looking at the same car right?

I wouldn't go as far to say as the interior has gotten better. The interior is still shit imo. I will whole heartedly agree with their performance though!

How is this interior bad at all?

Red_OhFour Design is subjective (even though I don't like this design) so that doesn't count. What is not subjective is making everything capacitive. Capacitive buttons in a car to begin with is a terrible idea. All glossy plastic is an even worse idea. Steering wheel button layout is obtrusive to holding the wheel in prime spot of 9 and 3. Placement of cubbies is not well thought out (main one is literally right in front of the stick). Nitpicks; gauge cluster looks pretty shit (upgradeable), Nav/screen system is mediocre compared to japanese and german competitors (never been an american strongpoint), turning signals and paddle shifters are both piss poor and turn signals are the same from the chevy malibu. When it comes to the design, the word disjointed comes to mind. Never liked American cars for their interior - it bothers me a bit, but if you ignore that aspect; the car has more character than any other car in it's class, on the roads nowadays.

VanillaCracker I thought it looked nice but I also don't like the capacitive touch. I feel like it could easily fail. To you, would those drawbacks be big enough to keep you from buying one?

oh my god yes.

George The Zebra It's a great red tone.

You haven't seen it in white !

Dmitriy Nanaziashvili any issues with it Now? Just wondering because I'm really interested in getting a regular ATS

flacko001 zero In my ats-v

Jaiker Chatha that’s good to hear I still Haven’t decided weather I want to buy me a 2018 ATS-V or a 2018 Camaro Zl1!!!

Steven Campos preference, NA V8 or TT V6

GSRx did you just call a ZL1 naturally aspirated? 😂😂😂

watch prices, they fall so hard. You can get one really cheap in a few years.

riothero313 it's a joke. I don't even want one. just bought a camaro

I do the same thing when i see a new car

Hopefully In 20 yrs I can afford a 17 base model Corolla

Hopefully in 20 years i can afford a '89 honda civic

And hear his voice go up two octaves. lol

TurgBurglar it's a good gauge of speed for the average joe, because I'd probably giggle like a school girl similar to him in cars like that :p

SCIENCEoverRELIGIONS there is heating lol

Coke too.

Marcelo Pinheiro it really does

it really really does

it really really really does

it really really really really does

Matthew Lackey it really really really really really does.

Haha glad you enjoy the reactions!

DevPack you can get an LCD gauge cluster as an option.

Unfortunately you can not. You're stuck with this cluster while the CTS-V gets all the cool stuff...

Capt. Hugemeat hmmm really? I work at a Cadillac dealership and I swore that one of the ATS-Vs I took in from shipment had an ICD gauge. I must be mistaken!

Yeah, it's one of the biggest complaints for this car. The HUD makes the cluster obsolete though. I have a 2016 and I never look at the cluster anymore. Everything I need is in the HUD. So that helps.

Capt. Hugemeat I see! Oh definitely I've always hated that design they use for the gauges. I love the heads up display its futuristic looking yet so convenient at the same time!

Thanks man!

Antoniuslaw. the only people that don't like this car don't drive or own this car... by far the most unique car in the segment

The analog portion isn't great but like I said the digital portion is very nice, and the fact that Cadillac gives you things like a boost gauge that the M3 doesn't offer with all it's electronics is why the ATS-V has an edge with it's gauges.

Any noises from the front of the firewall at low rpms that some people complaint about it on the forums?

its 2020

buy it

They're at $33k-ish now. Give it another 4-5 years and it'll be $22k

I just hope i find a good manual one.

Did you get it?

I talked to some GM car fans and they told me that's actually the best thing ever happened to the ATS-V. Imaging it's like the CTS's fancy digital gauges that stop working at any random moment it feels like to. You don't even get to read fuel left and have to pull over and measure the gas tank with a tube every once a while. They told me I would understand once I become familiar with "GM quality."

I reviewed a lot of affordable stuff over the summer and have some other very affordable cars that I'll be posting reviews of in January. I go back and forth to try and appeal to everyone.

Jacob Piece look at his past videos.. you're wrong.

Um C Thank You...Real MVP!

Omar Reyes my 2010 Cts V is worth 32K trade in to a dealer... do a little more research on the V cars

These won't lose their value as much

You can get a low mileage 16' for mid 30s now lol

Haha you're awesome Kamil!
