@@jiminyhopkinsAWD or rwd? any transmission issues? Rear differential issues? Just curious, I have a 2015 ATS premium performance with the 3.6. no issues with mine and hoping none in the future! Lol. Only issue ever was had to replace my cue screen which was under warranty
Luxury cars to me just shouldn't have manual transmissions. If you want a sporty vehicle, buy a sports car. I hate that they try to make every vehicle into a sports car these days. When I get a luxury car, I want something that makes for a nice, comfortable ride, easy to drive and high on interior amenities. I imagine this car will sell well, because this is what people seem to want these days. But in my opinion luxury vehicles today should be more like the '74 Fleetwood Talisman.
Really, most reviews comparing it say the opposite. But of course, you wouldn't be biased towards the 3 series with a user name like "BMWdinamo" would you? lol.
as much as i like this car, it just doesn't perform as well as it's rival 328i bmw. although it's a tad bit better looking. and since it's build in america you should but it
"The ride quality at that speed was wonderful, smooth and stable. I do love the autobahn." Yes you should love the autobahn. Because if you do drive your BMW M6 it will fall apart like pushcart. And that's how you decide about a cars quality. A Chevrolet here lasts four times longer than a BMW since unless the road is not an Autobahn that car starts to fall apart. That's german engineering for you. :)
"Why in the world would I feel threatened by this substandard automobile?" Because it is not substandard LOL. "You are the one is threatened because you are clearly enraged by the truth I write, sending me 3-4 messages for every 1 message I send you??" Exactly, I am responding to your idiotic comments not vice versa. And your comments are idiotci since you are threatened by this product. :)

Deep down, you are what a deer, your God, your poet, or your philosopher is. But you think you're a member of the VFW, your bowling club, or the Ku Klux Klan, and because you think so, you behave as you do. This too was told you long ago, by Heinrich Mann in Germany, by Upton Sinclair and John Dos Passos in the United States. >>
I'll take this over a bmw anyday of the week. I hate the look of the new bmw's, they need to get rid of that hitler mustache they call a grill. The funniest thing is that the firsts bmw was a copied Austin 7 and the Austin 7 copied the Cadillac type 53, so the first bmw was a copycat Cadillac.
Another feeble attempt by a bankrupt auto manufacturer which hopes to meet the standards set by Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes. No doubt this car will begin to age rapidly after 5 years of operation. How long before we hear about a recall on this product? GM is very famous for its recalls.
This man is the best in the business!! I have watched him for many, many years.
Yes. So have I. John Davis is a great narrator for the road and comparison tests and host for Motorweek
He is a robot
had one of these as a loaner..this car was an absolute hoot to drive!
120K on my 2014 ATS... Still loving it
Turbo or 3.6?
3.6 with K+N, Ported TB, Ported Intake manifold, Corsa Exhaust, and 93 octane tune from Overkill

This guy has been with motorweek since the 80's lol
Gotta Love the Wish for a ATS-V
Seriously Mr John Davis doesn't seem to age at all.
Nice
What a fantastic car. My choice for sure if I wanted a RWD 4-Door
You can get in awd and coupe also!
Nice helmet Ben

The return of Cimarron
except much better.
ATS- turbo V6 with a six speed.
EPIC
Wrong, it’s 2.0t cyl or 2.5 4 cyl na or 3.6 v7 na. That ats v has turbo…
Actually the atsv has 2 turbos

Not true American cars are shit now
I'd get an ATS over the 3 Series. The new BMWs are overpriced and not as good looking. An ATS-V would be epic.
I am 5'9" Mr. Davis and those back seats are goddamn awful and cramped. Did you actually sit back there?

60-0 in 128 ft is not good

The new 3 series is better can't front on that one
