Apparently, it’s not only on paper and in photos that the new Cadillac ATS-V has what it takes to be enticing in its sector, as recent reviews have suggested it’s also a keen driver’s machine that rewards the enthusiast driver.

Reviews of the 464 hp ATS-V have been so positive that we’re confused as to where exactly they place the car. It’s more powerful than, for instance, the BMW M3/M4 and faster too, but it is beaten in terms of power by the Mercedes option, the C63 AMG, which can be had with up to 503 hp.

It’s said to be sharper to drive than both, although we really want to see/hear non US or Canadian view on this car, as there may be some local bias in these overly positive reviews, like this one from AutoGuide.

It’s posted below and it showers the ATS-V with praise from start to finish, and with good reason – it’s a cool car that’s fast and fun and definitely comparable with its rivals; we really need to see a three-headed comparison of the cars mentioned here…
