31, IT Administrator. Purchased a '13 2.0T Lux Manual Thunder Gray Chromaflair with Morello Red Interior. I was fortunate to find the options I wanted in a vehicle still on the lot and got quite a deal
This is the first Cadillac I've owned, but the my first car I drove was that *cough* Cimarron *cough* model no one wants to speak of.

Hey, at least you owned up to it and admitted that this is your FIRST Cadillac Nice combo there! I screwed up too but was with my 2nd car. (87 Deville with the infamous HT4100 engine)
I'm 22. I just graduated school and now I work in IT.. I got a really good deal around black friday and once I test drove this car... it was over. I bought the car the next day and I love it!
67 (wife's age) - it's primarily her car - 2.0T Luxury. Previously had 1st and 2nd generation CTS's. Had it a couple of weeks and very pleased. She's got a heavy foot and loves the power.
25. Love the ATS; picked up a Black 2013 Premium Turbo AWD with the Red/Black interior. Driving is the first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning. The CUE could become more user friendly so you don't have to take your eyes off the road when driving and the suspension ok but it handles lovely. My first two cars were a 98 Camaro and an 05 Bonneville GXP. The GXP probably road smoother but the ATS is more fun.
My brother got a 2.5 Luxury for his 16th birthday. He loves it but I cannot stand that unrefined 2.5! So underpowered and sounds terrible just like the Malibu's 2.5...
56 years young/right foot 16 years old-2014 Opulent Blue premium AWD 2.0 T with all the bells and whistles got email last week that it is built, will have in a couple of weeks. Leaving a tweaked SAAB 2.0 T 9-3 its moving to a nephew. It will be welcomed home by a 1967 Supercharged MGB, 1998 Z3 1.9, 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 and a 2008 Chrysler T & C Mini van.
Regarding the earlier posts about the Cimarron, my father had an 86 back when I was a teen, the later ones did have a nice V6 engine. At the time, I actually thought it was a nice car, and that 2.8 V6 was actually kind of quick for its time, surprised a few people (think about its competition in the 1980's).
74, retired, had the dealer install a column shifter, white walls, and Cadillac hood ornament. Can't figure out how to change the radio station on the touch screen.
I couldn't figure it out either, but my dealer wired the radio up to "the clapper" and now I just clap to change stations. BTW, if you go that route, do NOT change stations in the middle of a turn. Don't even ask how I know.
27 and proud owner of a Diamond White 2014 ATS 2.0T Performance. It's my first time getting a new car(previously purchased used cars), and also my first time getting a North American car.
I'm 42 traded in an 08 SRT8 charger for a 2.0T base. First mod to the car is the factory forged 18's staggered with 225 40 18/ 255 35 18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I also have a 2004 CTS-V all stock with 23k on it. Adding new mounts, cradle bushings, and axles soon.
I'm 58, and just ordered a 3.6 AWD in premium trim.
Thought hard about a RWD drive as my last two cars (both CTS's) were that way (with manual transmissions), but as the 3.6 doesn't come with a manual trans and it snows plenty here in Manitoba, thought I'd opt for utility over fun this time.
I wanted to get the 2.0 with a manual, by the way, but after a test drive was disappointed with both the sound and the harshness of the turbo...
56 and a GM employee. Last cars: 2000 Subaru Legacy GT, 2004 Saab 2.0T, 2007 Infiniti G35, 2008 BMW 328i, 2011 BMW 328xi..... Kept telling my bosses that I would buy a GM product when they decided to build a good sport sedan. It was worth the wait!
36, this is my first Cadillac, a 2014 ATS Luxury 2.0T. I was looking at BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus etc. and the ATS had all the options I wanted and was
much more competitively priced. Although this is considered small for a Cadillac, it's a huge car to me since I'm coming from a 2004 Acura RSX. I really like the CUE system so far, and I've only had the car for less than a week. I'm keeping my RSX as a daily grind car, and the ATS as my "fun" car.
I am a 58 year old owner of a 2013 3.6 AWD Performance addition. Black Diamond exterior with tan interior. It has every option except Navigation.
So for a great car .
