Don't Bother w/ STS-V

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.

I owned a STS-4 prior to owning a new 2007 STS-V. The V is an amazing car and it's scary fast! Even looks cool when its standing still. The interior is a step up from my loaded out STS-4. Nice stiching and quality leather is used through out the interior. The surround sound is an amazing feature with some of the best sounds I have ever heard out of a car. The STS-V screams as it goes down the road. I amazing car that I would own time and time again.

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!

First Cadillac owned. Former buyer of MBZ and BMW's. This STS-V is better than the Euro's at much less cost.

Bought the STS V the first week of December and have taken a couple of 300 mile trips in it. It's very comfortable, powerful and a real pleasure to drive. Positive handling and extremely smooth on the highway. You forget you're driving a big Caddy and think you're in a very fast sports car.
