TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Audi A5 is a coupe, convertible, or Sportback with verve and impressive standard features.

The 2019 Cadillac ATS pares down to only a two-door coupe this year as it heads toward the sunset as Cadillac's sporty compact.

TCC Likes

Handsome shape in any body style
Willing power from turbo-4
Good tech

Strong performer in any configuration
Confident handling
Feature-rich infotainment

TCC Dislikes

Convertible is pricey
Cramped rear quarters in coupe and convertible...
...small cargo area too

Tiny back seat
Advanced safety features unavailable in lower trims
Price increases rapidly with options
