Not Sorry At All

I overpaid according to these low prices...and I'm still not sorry. Why? The person who owned it first took CARE of it...had regular service done. Add to that the fact that I read the manual and other instructions so I know how it all functions. Drive car on a reasonable manner, don't race or tow anything. Follow these instructions and it will last 200K miles as others say.

The STS is a strong road and highway vehicle. The biggest problem was electronic FOBS. It is moderate to expensive to maintain and/or repair. Its trade in value is below average. It is a good engine powered by regular fuel. The gas mileage is about 25% below what is expected.

My First Cadillac

I like this car. However, the manual reads like it was written in a language other than English. Instead of providing information, the manual refers you to two other pages to get the information. The navigation system is nice, but difficult to learn and again the manual is little to no help. The seats are comfortable and I like the sporty ride. The glove compartment is way too small. I do not like the fact that when opening the trunk, it does not open fully. As a photographer I have arms full of equipment. I would have liked the trunk to open so I could put the equipment in the trunk instead of on the ground so I can manually open the trunk. Not a convenient feature.

Great car, I bought it new off the showroom floor, but with another vehicle, and a business SUV, we just did not run it. Regret that now.
