Lots of small problems!

Review

I leased this car almost a year ago because I could get a great lease deal and liked the styling. The engine and transmission are the best features on this car. It rides extremely well and has lots of power! The problem is in the details. The Bluetooth is a joke. Our BMW works light years better. The navigation system interface was poorly designed. It is confusing much harder to use than any other I have tried. There has already been one recall, plus a loose metal piece that had to replaced in the trunk, plus a non- working Homelink garage opener, plus lack of good steering wheel controls. For the same price, you could get a BMW that is MUCH better!

Favorite Features

Engine and transmission.

Suggested Improvements

Better nav, better Bluetooth, better integration of controls, better quality control!

This is the first Caddy I've ever owned,and I am truly impressed with everything about it, I love the way it handles, and the comfort of the ride. I am spoiled now and will always look at Cadillacs when I need to buy my next car.

Favorite Features

Navigation system, XM radio, Bluetooth

Bigger trunk

2007 STS 4

Review

Had this STS for a month now and have to say it an awesome car. Living in the north the AWD has shown that it can handle the winters here. This car handles great and is very quiet and comfortable to drive. Seems to be built solid and the V6 has enough power to keep you intrested and still provides an average of 18 mpg. The 5.1 Bose stereo is the best I have ever heard in a car.

Favorite Features

The remote start, the handling and the 5.1 Bose stereo

Suggested Improvements

None so far

First Luxury car!

Review

I have only had my STS for less than a month, but so far I fall in love all over again every day! I have had an H- 2 for two years, which I thought was luxurious until this Cadillac! This car is easilly the favorite of anything I have or ever will have. The ride is incredibly smooth, like butter, I can't imagine how the V-8 STS could accelerate much faster than my V-6 because it is FAST, and the overall handling is to die for. The XM radio and the OnStar are things I don't need but use often. I think the pearl white (White Diamond) paint was the final selling point for me, as it is stunning. I bought my '07 brand new in '08, saved quite a bit doing it this way & would definately reccomend!

Favorite Features

Remote start, keyless ignition, White Diamond paint- worth the extra grand, XM radio, the personizable features, the gorgeous front end

Suggested Improvements

Glove box barely holds the owners manual & standard paperwork, frustrating, I wish the colors for the radio, climate control & driver info center were some color other than orange, and I wish the V-6 had a 6 disc CD changer! Drawbacks are few for me, I can think of no car I'd rather have!

Review

I picked up my 2007 STS with 5K miles about 3 weeks ago. After owning a Lexus, Infiniti, Mercedes and BMW, I think the STS presented the most value for the car. This was my first American car in over 20 years. What an improvement in design and quality!! I love the technolgy and comfort. Finally nice job

Favorite Features

Technology, remote start and driver recognition

Suggested Improvements

Glovebox, navigation less confusing and trunk opening.

My First American!

Review

This is my first American car in over 20 years. I trade in cars every 3 years due to my business. Driven, Nissan, Lexus, Infiniti, Jaguar and Mercedes. I have to say this is STS was the best value for my money. I got a lot more than what I get with any of the others, including the Certified 6- year 100K warranty as my STS was a demo with 5K miles. Finally, nice job Cadillac with all the refinements, technology, ride, etc.

Favorite Features

Remote start, driver recognition

Suggested Improvements

Nav a bit confusing but you get used to it. Could use larger trucnk space.

Review

After some very expensive minor repairs and service to our Mercedes E320, My wife and I started researching alternatives. We have owned mostly German and Honda cars for many years. (Except for my jewel- like '94 Vett). She thought the CTS was too "edgy" but was totally taken by the STS. I was a little skeptical until we took it for a test drive. It was really impressive and comfortable. The first 1000 mile trip yielded 25 mpg on regular gas. Some of the controls are a little unfriendly but well worth the time to master. Last night I started the STS from inside a restaurant which turned on the heater & seat heaters during a snowstorm. The warrenty and OnStar are great.

Favorite Features

The combined comfort and handling are great. For comfort and convenience, the remote start and programmable individual settings are impressive.

Suggested Improvements

Trunk should open when unlatched and have better access. Also, the glove box needs improvement.

Not worth $54,0000

2007 Cadillac STS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I have now driven this car for a sold year. The car looks great and handles well. There are some problems that you should not have with this price range. I have noises in the power stearing. The gas cover is cheap and is just spring loaded. I get less than 14.5 miles a gallon in the city. I do like the style and handleing. There is somthing about a caddy that has a dual exhaust that is streamlined. All n All this is not a $54,000 car. This is more like a $40,000 car. If you were to compare this to the Lexus or Benz in the same price range you might sway away from the Caddy but the Caddy have much better lease deals. I was able to lease this luxury car for nothing down and $599 a month!

Favorite Features

The outside look. The front is super cool and the interior is very nice. The all wheel drive is great in snow. For a V6 it can move,

Suggested Improvements

Voice act. is worthless. Trunk is very cheap. Gas cover is horrid, outside trim gets lose to easily, tracking control is scary, Gas mileage is a joke, need wider tires, bigger trunk,

Review

My search for a leftover 2007 STS V8 took some effort but it was definitely worth it. I prefer the 2007 grill to the more enhanced 2008 version - clearly a matter of taste. Previous car was a 2000 E320. I would say that the STS is in another league in terms of overall refinement. The interior is absolutely beautiful - particularly in Cashmire. I have not taken the time to figure out the navigation system but all other controls are user friendly. The quality of materials is on par or superior to the Mercedes. Aside from a Corvette, this is the best American car on the road today!

Favorite Features

The interior is absolutely beautiful - ride and handling are outstanding. In my view, this is as good as it gets!

Suggested Improvements

More interior storage and a 25 gallon gas tank would be appreciated. Also, the ability to select options individually as opposed to packages would be preferred.

2nd STS for me, and I love my '07!!

Review

This is my 2nd STS. I expected a lot of my new '07 STS and have been very pleased so far! Cars I considered before buying my STS - all very nice but either too small or offered less value: 1. Acura TL and RL 2. Lexus GS and IS 3. Infinity M35 4. Subaru Tribeca 5. Audi A6 6. Mercedes E Class 7. BMW 5 Series 8. Volvo S70 The '07 STS handles like a sports car with luxury feel; exacly what I was looking for! It's quick for a V6 - I test drove the V6 and V8, and there was not a huge difference to justify the incremental cost. I looked at a bunch of cars, and the STS, in my opinion, gave me by far the best bang for the buck (see favorite features below) Very pleased so far!

Favorite Features

1. Handles like a sports car with luxury feel! Quite and smooth 2. Quick for a V6 (my old STS is a V8, and the 6 feels as powerful) 3. Ventilated seats 4. Regular gas 5. Keyless start 6. Comfortable seats 7. Very sporty look 8. Heated steering wheel

Suggested Improvements

1. Small glove box 2. Small trunk 3. Navigation buttons confusing 4. Blue tooth phone can't be dialed with car in motion (could be voice activated) 5. Provide better summary information for bluetooth, home link, navigation, XM radio
