Cadillac is the Best

My miles have been - 33% city, 33% 300 mile trips, and 33% long trips. Around town I ave between getting 20 to 21 mpg. On the 300 mile trips I ave 24 mpg, and on long trips I avg. 25 mpg. With 36,000 miles and counting I have not had any problems requiring service. This is my second Cadillac, after two Buicks. I will trade it in for another Cadillac at 70,000 to 90,000 miles. My experience with the dealer has been tremendous. They pick up and return my car for service. They offer a ride if I drop off the car for oil changes. When I go for an oil change I make an appointment and wait in a plush waiting room with hot coffee and pastries available for "free."

Recently turned in my E55 MB, feel the fit and finish of my new STS is outstanding. Bought the STS on the whim after test driving, never thought Id be back buying a non german auto......

This is my first Cadillac. It is a great handling automobile. I chose the black color. It is very good looking, better than a BMW or Mercedes, in my opinion. The brake performance is excellent, but has a squeal problem. Dealer service has been wonderful so far. I will buy one again.

Just took delivery of a beautiful Blue Chip STS 4 and I can only say that it is the most awesome car on the market. Handling is light and nimble yet the ride is very solid. Magna ride control really eats up the NYC potholes. Fit and finish are world class and the interior will make even the strongest critics smile. Outstanding power, cool features and a kick a@# Bose sound system.

This is a fantastic ride. Great power, interior sound, and build quality. It accelerates like a rocket. the Bose sound system is the best. The nav system is easy to use, well alot easier than BMW's I-drive. I did not buy the active suspension because I could not tell the difference with my driving. I tried the V-6 but no way, not enough uumf.
