2018 Cadillac ATS-V
Traded a 2015 Mustang GT 50th anniversary edition for a 2018 ATS-V coupe, with auto last summer. Biggest mistake of my car-buying life, and maybe my life at all. My Mustang never saw the inside of a dealership, save for regular maintenance. My Chevy-with-lipstick (let's face it, that's all it is) on the other hand, lives at the dealership. Car only has 112,000KM on it ( a shade over 65,000 miles for those of you still living in the dark ages), and so far it's had 3 coil and plug kits, for a repeated misfire, shocks and struts all need to be replaced (conveniently NOT covered by the grossly expensive Cadillac Care extended warranty), and GM won't come to the party and honour their crappy product. The memory seat won't remember at startup and the Cadillac Cue is a joke. No heated steering wheel, blind spot indicators or cooled seats ( all standard on a 2015 Mustang Premium). The steering alternately wanders and freezes, so I never know if it going to turn, or will decide to keep turning (dealership having no success diagnosing OR fixing). All in all, pretty disappointing to say the least. The ONLY good thing about it is the engine, thanks to the good folks at GM St Catharines. I see now why they're rare...nobody was buying these sleds, so GM bailed out. I'd never recommend one, to ANYBODY, and I'm definitely never having another GM. My condolences to any of you reading who owns one of these hounds. You can't hardly give them away, no one wants them.

I always thought the canucks were nice people too. Heck of a first post. I guess we'll see you around.

Don't think I've ever wasted the energy to make an account for a forum just to shit-can a make and model of a vehicle.

You got a lemon man. It happens with any vehicle manufacturer. Sorry to hear that it's been rough but did you not drive it or take it to a local shop prior to buying it? I've never bought a performance car without my mechanic or a local mechanic running a bumper to bumper check on it.

Furthermore, sounds like you haven't done your research. Everyone knows CUE sucked. Everyone knows when mag-ride goes out it's expensive or time to upgrade shocks/struts. Cmon. Do better.

Blackwing..
I'm beginning to wonder if the OP happened to have any online videos of him leaving a chrome n coffee in his Ford? I've seen a zillion of them all ending the same way.
