2006 Cadillac STS-V 4dr Sedan (4.4L 8cyl S/C 6A)

The engine is fantastic. The Brembo brakes are the best I have ever owned. I have had M3s in the past and was looking for a sedan and got a good deal (or so I thought). The car has been the shop for 8 weeks in the first 16 months. Not just for small stuff either, but for items like the transmission shifting to 3rd gear at hwy speeds (that will get your attention and of those behind you). Power steering pump exploding and too many others to count. I have contacted Cadlliac numerous times and they refuse to help. For a $70+k car you would think that they would give some service consideration, but so far they have disappointed all along. So this will be my 1st and last Caddy.

Costly car to maintain for sure. Looks pretty good on the outside. I like the steel blue color and wheels but feels cheap and plastic on the inside. Cadillac is not like the Cadillac I grew up with that my Mother always drove. Those cars really seemed to last and were comfortable. This car is not and maybe its because Im use to driving a Lexus and actually know what a quality car feels like. This car now has 105,000 miles and resale is AWFUL to say the least. It does however get the job done to and from work but NO TRIPS!! Don't trust it, feels to lose and its been taken care of is the sad part.

This was our first experience with the V Series Cadillac. We have driven Cadillacs since the late 1970's and fell in love with this car from day one. It is truly a wonderful mix of luxury and performance. The engine provides plenty of power, the suspension makes mountain driving fun, and the brakes are very well matched to the performance. Based on our experience with our STS-V we have owned two CTS-V's. Our first was a 2012 wagon, and our current one is a 2016 sedan. The higher horsepower of the newer cars can be exciting, but also more challenging to drive with both feet flat on the floor! The STS-V with it's 469HP/Torque was much more predictable when you choose to drive like you stole it! If looking for an older luxury sports sedan you won't go wrong with an STS-V. They are truly a joy to drive!

Cadillac comes up short with the STS-V

The STS-V is a nice step for Cadillac into the performance division of cars but it comes up short in several key areas. The first thing that you'll notice when you get into the car and start driving is the poor handling. The car's handling is incredibly sloppy. The Cadillac reps said thats because it wasn't designed to handle, just go straight. Well the E55 is faster and the M5 handles better so what does the Cadillac do? The interior is subpar, with the rear seat using primative HVAC controls. The front seats are not sport seats and have no side support. The interior itself is ok, but nothing fantastic.
Traded A8L - wanted PERFORMANCE!

I could not accept the trade-in offer from the local Audi dealer. He told me to keep my old A8L which kept needing transmission recalibrations. Plus it did not have fancy options like Blue Tooth etc. The Caddie runs better, it is quieter, and smoother. I hate the Pirelli Tires though. They are harsh and provide a noisy ride. I will buy Michelins when they are available in this size. I like the interior! The leather is just as good as in the Audi. I also like the navigation and other features that the Germans still do not have. The car is smaller, but rides just as well as the Audi. It is not quite as solid at very high speed, but I don't really need to drive at 130 MPH.
