A wonderful mix of luxury and performance.

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!

Exceptional Cadillac

I purchased the STS-V in late June 2007. The car has performed extraordinarily well. I do a fair amount of driving on back roads and the handling of this vehicle is superb around bends and winding roads. There have been no squeaks or rattles. The car is tightly built. Gas mileage is similar to a large SUV. I am getting around 15 mpg around town which is slightly better than the rated mileage. One aspect of the car that you don't fully appreciate during the test drive is how well the driver seat holds the driver in place during cornering. The seat design is superior to that of most cars in this class. Mechanically, the engine and transmission operate very smoothly.

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.

The 2006 Cadillac STS-V is an absolutely wonderful driving machine! I have it in black. It draws attention from 100% of all the people at stoplights. It gets up to 178 mph on my home runway. It is worth every penny. The only thing that it needs is a more luxurious colored wood trim.
