5 Reasons to Buy an ATS-V
It is no secret the Cadillac ATS-V is a complete car, but if you don't know, here's why.
1. Performance
If you think the Cadillac ATS-V is all looks, think again! The ATS-V is extremely athletic-looking, but it's only because it can back it up with a monstrous engine. Under its hood lies a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V engine, which develops 464 horsepower. If you're wondering what this vehicle is capable of, don't overthink it, it will blow your mind.

2. Transmission
The Cadillac ATS-V is equipped with a Tremec TR-6060 six-speed transmission. This transmission is an upgraded version of the T-56, which was used in Camaros, Mustangs, and even Vipers, and after eliminating all the bugs and issues, this new transmission shifts smoothly, aggressively, as well as offers tremendous reflexes. The TR-6060 is equipped with two technologies: the active rev-matching logic, which anticipates the downshift to change gears smoother, and the no-lift shifting, which upshifts smoothly and without needing the driver to lay-off the throttle.

3. Ride Quality
If you ride in a Cadillac ATS-V and are wondering why is it extremely comfortable, yet handles perfectly, it is because of the standard Magnetic Ride Control. The Magnetic Ride Control adjusts your suspension every single second you are driving, which means you will always receive the best ride for whatever type of driving you're doing.
