Originally went to purchase a CTS Luxury Sport but the salesman also showed us a V6 STS Luxury pkg. For a few dollars more my wife and I got exactly what we were both looking for. I have been looking at both Japanese and European cars for the past 3 months and the STS V6 beats them all! The V6 is the perfect engine at 255 HP, coupled with a 5 speed auto trans that has sport mode as well as a manual shift option, this car not only looks great it's a blast to drive. Center stack with optional Premium upgrade gets wood trim, which makes this interior gorgeous! If thats not enough, it runs on regular gas, something all the imports can't do. Also remember it is rear wheel drive, so no torque steer.

At 10,000 miles my STS developed a thumping noise, which was especially noisy at low speed. Our dealer diagnosed this as a tire problem and replaced (free of charge) our front tires. The noise dissipated to almost nothing, it is but still noticeable in the rear tires. I was a little surprised that the dealer charged us for a full alignment on the new tires.

2005 STS V6 Pkg. 1SC This is absolutely the finest vehicle I've ever owned. From the DVD audio with Bose 5.1 surround sound to the keyless EVERYTHING! (I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my keys!) Bluetooth phone, DVD, all features exceptional. They obviously took cues from import luxury cars but "tweeked" the options to be more user friendly. Handling, ride, suspension - all incredible. I feel as though this car was designed specifically for me! Gas mileage is not-so-great as a barrel of oil hits 55.00 but it's not like a surprise with a 255 HP V-6. Get down to your Cadillac dealer! You gotta drive this car!

The 2005 Cadillac STS is a great car that is packed with a lot of useful technology. Its fit and finish were best of any GM car that I have purchased. I drove it off dealer lot about 2,000 miles ago have not been back since. I have never purchased a car before where I could not find something wrong with that needed to go back to the dealer to have fixed. XM radio with the 15 Bose speakers is awesome.

05 STS fun To Drive

What a beautiful car. Fun to drive. The most quiet car I have ever been in. The power in the V-6 is more than needed. Buyng a V8 would be a waste. Or you just want too much power. You cannot feel the trany shift. Smooth as silk. Just a great car.
