This is my first STS had a Toyota Avalon and really there is no comparison.This is so much more car in every respect, it is definitely not boring which is about the best thing I can say about the Avalon. I have the Northstar V8 it is fast. Love the interior except for the glove box.Nav works well and the AWD is great in snow and ice. I use the voice features to do almost everthing for me. I do not like the 2 different size tires. The fact that it is hard on tires is about my only complaint. Like all the bells and whistles more than you know you have.

Bought this one certified used with 24,000 miles.. No issues at all in the entire vehicle history report this car stays on the road and not in the shop like previously owned BMW's and acura's.. You def can not get a better ride than with a caddy... Only issue not as quiet as a Lexus but they're improving

We traded a 2006 Subaru Outback in on this car. We wanted something larger and better looking and boy did we get it! Interior is roomy and seats (front and back) are extremely comfortable. Tons of leg room, even in the back seat. We like the seperate climate controls, power sunroof, and the automatic driver settings. This car will adjust the seat and mirror settings for two drivers. It is really neat getting into the car after my husband has used it, and the seats and mirrors are set exactly where I like them. Trunk is a bit small & the glove box is a joke. Gorgeous exterior and extreme pick up. Very fast and fun to drive. This is not your grandpa's car!

I recently bought a new STS V8 AWD. Compared to the competition (Mercedes, Lexus) it was equal in performance, finish and fit. It exceeds the Lexus LS 430 in that its handling sports car like. It would cost $10,000-$15,000 more for similiarly equipped Lexus or Mercedes. I like everything about it except that the gas fill is on the passenger side. Fast, quiet, responsive and luxurious. Bottom line: it is the best value you can get in a luxury vehicle and it is definitely not your daddy's Caddy.

The Cadillac STS is a great car except for its very poor glove box design. Also, the rear seats are cramped, there is only room for 2 passengers. The trunk is small for this class of vehicle, it has poor storage. There is only luggage space for 2 passengers.
