Cadillac V8 STS

This is the best car I have leased. I find its ride to be more fun than the top tier German cars I have had and it has a better sound system. It is priced right, at considerable savings over the competition. GM got it right with this car.

STS Cadillac

This is the finest Cadillac that I have driven to date (I have had nine previously). The handling is suberb and rivals that of a BMW (I have driven the 5- and 7-Series). The pickup is better than I espected from a V6 (less than 7 seconds). The interior is more than adequate for me (6'2"). This car has all the amenities that you would want and most are standard. I have white diamond paint which cost $995 retail which is a bit much, but it is a beautiful color. The car is very tight and there very little road noise that enters the cabin. While the STS isn't for everyone it is for the discerning driver. Hats off to GM because I think they finally got it right.

I love my Cadillac STS. I was a Lexus man until I test drove a STS with the G package and the Northstar V-8. It's a whole lotta fun just to drive around the city. Driving on the open road will take your breath away. It is nice to see an american car built this well

I did my research before buying a used luxury vehicle. I have bought American brand cars most of my life, so I really wanted an American brand. I was expecting to see Lexus, Volvo, Audi, Mercedes, Infiniti and Acura when the 2006 STS appeared on my screen! I have had eight previous Cadillac's, but never an STS. I looked and looked for one in my area and finally had my new Caddy pop up. Drove three hours for a test drive, but it was worth every dime. My "new" 2006 STS has not disappointed in any respect except the trunk entry space is a bit cramped for large items. Beware large suitcases or coolers! Also, the GPS is antiquated and difficult to operate. Outside of that. Wow! How can this car be 14 years old? So many creature comforts that work flawlessly, including ventilated front seats!!! This is my ninth Cadillac, and I have been very surprised with the ride and drive on this '06. Engine is a 3.8 V6 and surprisingly powerful coupled with the five speed shiftable automatic. When I placed everything the Cadillac STS had going for it against everything other luxury sedans in the same price range and then took the negatives into consideration - the STS was the clear winner. This is my 37th vehicle and ninth Caddy. It’s a year down the road and no regrets.
