TCC’s Bottom Line

With its perky, composed all-wheel-drive performance, the 2014 Audi Allroad isn't just the family pick of the A4 lineup; it's a better-driving alternative to taller crossovers.

The 2014 Cadillac ATS puts the Germans on notice in handling and performance, while hitting high marks in quality and comfort, too.

TCC Likes

Rakish wagon stance
Strong power delivery, impressive handling
Nicely appointed interior

Powerful, fun turbocharged four and V-6 engines
Balanced, crisp handling
Intelligent interior design

TCC Dislikes

Tight back-seat legroom
Pricier than many alternatives
MMI takes too many 'clicks' for common tasks

Somewhat snug back seat
Small trunk
Less distinctive than some previous Cadillac design efforts
