Time for my 2 year ownership update.
I am at 42000kms(26K miles) and the car is still a fantastic driving car.
The interior size is beginning to become an issue(reason to trade for a CT5-V). It is still liveable for our family of 3, but a little more room wouldn't hurt.
On our last family road trip, I had my first blowout in 32 years of driving. We hit a pothole, when changing lanes on the 401(busiest highway in North America) which left a 3" gash in the sidewall of my winter tire. The ATS doesn't have a spare tire, so I had to call Cadillac roadside assistance. It took me an hour to explain where we were, as the Cadillac GPS app was finding us on a nearby side road. The car was towed to the nearest Cadillac dealer where they had a WS80 in stock.
Other than the tire issue, the car hasn't had any real issues. The CUE system replacement before turned out to be a software update, and now that has been applied. Rear axles seals were replaced once.
I had to do brake maintenance on the last oil change/service.
