I made a list of what was most important to me and handling, steering feel, weight, price, RWD, long term reliability were far higher on the list than the gauges. If gauges are the top of your list you don't want an ATS.
There's a difference between having gauges at the top of your list and having something completely unacceptable in a car at this price point. Between the gauges, CUE, the garbage haptic feedback touch sensitive buttons all over the interior, the steep depreciation curve, GM build quality, and Cadillac dealers, I wouldn't buy an ATS-V when it's priced the same as an M3. I didn't even bother test driving one.
