Great American Car

I looked at all the competitors - BMW 5 series, MB 300's, Lexus 300's, Acura TL and RL, Audi, and Infiniti M35/45. The Cadillac has edgier styling, better or as good as interior than all but Audi (BMW was pitiful). It also has better build and reliability than the European cars, more fun and masculine than Lexus or Acura. Only the Infiniti was close. It has more toys for the money and the option packages made more sense. But the STS is stylish, roomy, confortable and a great drive. Best of all, it's made in America.

Cadillac Got it Right!

With a powerful V8 engine and a suspension and body to handle all that power the STS is a driver's dream. The acceleration has to be experinced to be believed either from a dead stop or from 80 on up it is really fast. The styling is cutting edge for Cadillac with a look that is appealing for young and old with a bold athletic stance that says it is ready to move and move fast. If you are looking for a sedan that looks great inside and out and handles like a sports car a test drive in this beauty is highly recommended.

STS - MORE CAR THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE

Forget the negative comments. This car has all the great features you will ever want in an automobile. It's fast enough, rides comfortably, and comes with all the bells and whistles. The 1SF I drive makes the 03 Infinity Q45 I traded seem like just another car. With only 300 miles it's hard to find any faults. All the technology becomes overwhelming when you are trying to learn it all at one time, but the fun is discovering new things this car will do everyday. Going back to a car without keyless entry, 5.1 surround sound, advanced navigation, intelligent headlights, rainsence wipers, heads up display, in a perfectly designed cockpit will be impossible.

Have driven a lot of cars in my 55 years and by far my 2005 Cadillac STS is the best. Not only is it the most fun to drive, it is also the best handling. Plenty of my friends have gone the import route and the ones who have had the chance to ride in, or drive my STS are truly impressed. I gave up a 300 hp Northstar for the 265 hp V6 in this car and have not looked back. I have all the acceleration that I need and I never got up to 150 mph any way!

The only problem with this car was the mirror on drivers side had locating problems.This was fixed.otherwise great experience.Put 20s on and looks great.Rough riding due to the low profiles and all the mechanisms in the seats, but wonderful vehicle experience.
