Cadillac gets back to great cars

I traded a 1993 Lexus LS400, which was purchased new and was a terrific car. My new Cadillac STS is quicker, faster, more secure on the road, and a lot more fun to drive. The shifter provides control just like a manual transmmission. I love all the autumatic goodies. In just a few weeks the car became a very accomodating good friend.
Transmission!

My STS' transmission is awful! When downshifting, it has trouble finding a gear, especially when you want to re-accelerate. It makes for a very rough ride. At speed, it's okay. Also, its voice recognition is poor. The electronics are too complicated, too. The learning curve is fairly steep. I also don't like the adaptive cruise control. Bluetooth is a joke as well.

Had this car for over a year now and it is the best car I have ever owned. AWD is good in the snow and great in the rain. Drives like a dream.
Disapointment

I am really disapointed that a $60,000 car is so poorly built. What's worse is that Cadillac customer care was rude and told me that there is nothing they are willing to do to fix it. The Bluetooth connection is a joke, the people on the other end say you sound like you are in a cave and are hard to hear. The car has a wind leak in the passenger door. We even traced the location and told the dealer where it was located. Twice and they still can't fix it. The tires are low profile Michelins. One tire has a thump in it which is noticible at low speeds. Guess what, no problem found! I have always been an American auto owner, but this car is screaming "trade me for a Beemer!"
STS Brakes and Front End

Our 2005 Cadillac STS is not as reliable as the Lexus' we've owned. We've had problems with the brakes and the front end. The dealer and Cadillac are not as friendly to customers as they claim.
