Three years ago I moved to Chicago, where public transit is readily available and reliable. Previously I lived in the South, where my wife and I each commuted to work in separate cars, and being a car guy we also had a third “fun” car (ATS) that we drove on trips/weekends. We managed to put around 15k miles on each…

I haven’t driven a CTS with the 2.0t, but being a bigger, heavier car than the ATS I can see where the CTS might come off more strained and slower (but they are using it in the even larger CT6 as well).

Are you specifically talking the 2.0T in the ATS, or possibly one you’ve driven in another vehicle (Buick Regal, Chevy HHR SS, etc.)? I don’t find mine to be noisy or slow (0-60 in 5.8 personally, though I think the official time is a tenth faster), and I’ve averaged over 28 MPG over 10k miles thus far. Admittedly…

I did this very thing a year ago...bought a left-over ‘14 ATS 2.0T Luxury from a dealer @ 700 miles away. Meant flying over and driving it back sight-unseen, but it WAS brand new (had @ 300 miles on it, as it has just gone into their loaner program), and happened to be in a city I’d never visited, but was the hometown…

That’s funny; my aunt contacted me a few weeks ago about this car, and I mentioned she should drive one just to see if she could comfortably see out of it since lots of current convertibles take on that bathtub feel. She’s not particularly short (definitely taller than 5'), but good to see I was on the right track in…

I believe that’s now a Blazer.

Pickup driver clearly took the law into his own hands, and was obviously following too closely. Z was going too slowly in the fast lane, and should have gotten the hell out of the way, but certainly didn’t deserve what he got (and to potentially put the folks in the right lane in jeopardy is just stupid all the way…

I know this is Jalop sacrilege, but the 1980 El Camino I had for a few years. Belonged to my wife’s family, and they passed it on to me. It’d been used as a field car and was pretty basic (six cylinder, automatic, no power anything, AM radio), but I got it home and went about trying to get it into daily driver status.…

Relevant at the 2:08 mark.

Looks like there’s a bump in the street that he hit at about the :15 mark...odds are he really lost traction bouncing off that, which led to losing control. Well,that and Mustang.

It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that wing.

I bought a left0ver ‘14 2.0T Luxury sedan last summer, just as the 2016s were hitting the dealerships, and got it for just less than 70% of MSRP. That included a smidgen of GM Card earnings, but just enough to tip the scales so that I technically paid less than $30k for the car. I was looking at the 2.5 initially…

I saved a friend of mine from making a horrible decision by sharing this review with him. He had read about the car on paper and it sounded perfect, but after reading this review he actually did a test drive, and 100% agreed...and said had he not read the review, he probably wouldn’t have noticed the flaws until it…

Also Lyle Lovett’s “God Will” has a similar message.

My grandmother used to drive a ‘67 Dodge Polara (which was mine briefly after she died, then I passed it on to a cousin, who was the child of the original owner, my great-aunt...but I digress). Anyway, in researching info about it back in the day, one complaint pointed out about the car is that it had air conditioning…

Man, when I read your typo saying “I went ham” I got a totally different mental spin on what a Scenty Christmas-scented air freshener must be like. It was a positive thought though; I was disappointed when I realized your car didn’t smell like honey-baked, hickory smoked goodness.

I know this will sound blasphemous, but a 1980 El Camino. It originally belonged to my wife’s aunt and uncle...I made the mistake when it was relatively new of saying if they ever wanted to get rid of it, to let me know. They called maybe 20 years later and said come get it, on the condition that if I ever sold it I…

I’ve always thought auto parts places like NAPA ought to use restored pickups/panel vans/wagons instead of the generic fleet of white Ford Rangers, Transit Connects, etc. To me they’d be rolling billboards on the street, and if I were in the position to order parts, I think I’d rather see something cool show up to…

Admittedly I watched this just to see the Paradise Cove footage. Took the family there on vacation a few years ago, and ate at the restaurant there just because of the Rockford connection. Even made a point of visiting the “sandbox” before I left, because I remembered it being in at least one episode.
