This car is grossly underrated.

I was lucky enough to buy a Red STS in the UK last week with only 5000 miles on it...Right hand drive...immac...effortless 100 mph motorway driving where allowed...In a land of BMWs MCedes etc this car stands out and is very rare......I live in the UK and Vancouver...I also have in Vancr a 2003 pearl white Eldorado ETC low mileage and immac....now getting rare......I love Caddies ..My first was a red 1975 Coupe De Ville...which my friends called a Pimp Mobile....

+Ian Rowlandian These Cadillac's are very nice cars. I have several older ones myself. The newest one is a 2005 Deville Final year Special Editon as my daily driver and I love it. I don't consider the 75 Deville a pimp mobile but a nice big luxury car from a past era. American cars use to be big and powerful until they started changing to compete with the competitors. Big mistake for Cadillac, Lincoln and the rest! They all should still be making big cars like they always did.

+LocDawgd I don't even consider the new Cadillac's REAL Cadillac's anymore. Cadillac, Lincoln and Buick should all still be making big luxury cars instead of trying to be something else then they actually are. They are now trying to compete for something that is not in their league. You cannot compare any older Cadillac (except the Cimarron) with any of the new Cadillac's. There is just no comparison anymore.

Just got me a STS ,love it.Very fast and smooth car but most important spacious . I had owned a Mercedes prior to this so by far I can honestly agree that the Cadillac is much funner to drive!

The problem with Mercedes Benz, as compared to say, Alfa Romeo, BMW, and Infinity, is that Benz somehow leaves "fun" and involvement out of the Recipe. They are well-engineered, safe and sometimes nice-looking, but are not great driver's cars unless you buy an AMG Model. Sorry Benz Fan Boys, but it's true!

The sts V is the 4.4L and the n/a northstar is 4.6 320hp

The v8 is 4.6L not 4.4L> The STS-V has the 4.4L Supercharged.

I had the honor of driving the 2011 STS for the weekend and it was great! That car is beautiful it stands out, it's bolder than Mercedez and BMW because face it, those cars are so commercial that they turned bland like Honda. It's smooth and comfortable on a road trip and it's fast and fiery when you put it in sport mode. I timed the STS at 0-60 in 6.9 seconds. I've driven Mercedez, BMW, Acura and none were like this.

I have one and it is the best cadillac i have ever owned by far!

Awesome car It competes with the Lexus GS350, BMW 528i, and Audi A6.

@myjanuary151987 no. the CTS belongs to the C class, the STS belongs to the E.

Love the sts I got a 05 sts it’s a v8 gotta have that v8 power it not the best on gas but it’s worth it for me

I'm really liking this!

Its amazing how many BS posts wind up on the internet. However, German cars have a deserved reputation over many decades. I respect that. Having said that i don't like the current bulbous, melted down look of the current BMW's. They are good cars but I prefer the ones previous to about 2001-2002. Cadillac on the other hand makes some very nice cars now. The STS and CTS both are very fine automobiles. They deserve more credit than the dumb BS posts on here.

How? It handles great and has a great interior.

Hold down the T/c for 8 seconds... enjoy! You're welcome.

My favorite STS year!

@dagr382 so true, my parents got one about two years ago, my god! I love to drive that car, im currently looking for a second hand one myself! (except i want the STS-V lol)

Standard features include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, power tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio and climate controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, 8-way power front seats, keyless start, premium sound system, and compass. Very luxurious, reasonably priced Very powerful and sporty Very good car.. good value for the money

The STS is one of the better GM sedans. I think it is very nice overall. It just isn't quite up to the level of the competing sedans from Europe and Japan.

Took a 2009 STS V for a test drive a few weeks ago.it was a beast pretty decent car but the trans felt kinda clunky. So unfortunately was a no go for me. but still a cool car!👍

@Bandogg88 That's what YOU say but, I have 7 ppl. that, agree with me!

@dslcobra Sir, the E65 745 served a normal lifetime from 2001-2004 (4 years)...the revised E66 750 served from 2005-2008 (also 4 years)....doesn't seem like a quick discontinue to me. I highly suggest you check yours. Im not a top moderator on Bimmerfest for nothing.

my mother was given a choice between the 2009 STS V-8 Norstar! and a merc milan and she choose the milan due to the color of the car...

Also...I'm pretty sure they're thinking, why pay more for something that's materialistically worth equal, or less?

Like the CTS - Very good, especially for a GM car, but not yet as good as its German or Japanese competitors.

I agree with you. As for value, the STS and CTS are as good as anything else out there as far as options, performance and especially comfort goes. It's all about what you prefer. My preference goes to Cadillac because I fit much more comfortably in Cadillacs than I do Mercedes, and that's always been the case as far back as I can remember.

It is definitely a mid-size, both by cargo volume and official government classification.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about saying this is not a car of heritage design. It clearly has Cadillac heritage all over it. The sharp crisp lines and stacked headlights are inspired from 60's Caddys. The sloped rear pillar and short stubby trunk are inspired from the 80-85 Seville. The rear looks as if it was inspired from the late Eldo of 92-04.

2 words- Paulie Walnuts

This car was partially great engineering and partially just very luckily timed. They made a big jump going over to RWD, but it ended up working out- they got lucky they didn't have more issues. Also, they had just ironed out the last kinks to the Northstar V8 and offered a fairly decent AWD system. All of this luck and engineering changes came together at the perfect time and this car was produced. The bad part is that the V6 was pretty problematic for essentially the entire time that this last generation STS was produced.. Don't get a V6..

A lot of people don't want to seek the knowledge that the improved Northstar pretty much resolved the headgasket failure issue. RWD V8 STS is a good car for sure. I know of a low mileage 97 Eldorado with original coolant. It's just too bad maintenance is never read or followed. Buying a car this old would be a good maintenance project.

Have you had any problems with your STS? I am thinking about buying a 2009 STS AWD v6 with 93k miles. I need to make sure it is reliable.

@dslcobra The reliability ratings were below average for the E65 745/760....everyone knows that, however, this obviously did not hinder sales, as we have seen thus far. Now that you have been proven wrong multiple times, I suggest you research THOROUGHLY, so you don't make an ass of yourself anymore.

Very fine automobile...but, Wow! Over 76k.??? That's is waaaay over priced! I Love GM. but, they're gonna have to lower that price about a good 15-20k.!

@djkasdjkasdjdjdj The Cadillac STS is alot bigger and is more spacious in the interior and trunk. The Cadillac CTS is more of a sporty car and alot smaller like for say Mercedes has the E-Class and the C-Class. The E-Class is like the STS it is more of a car for a Mom of two kids or you know just for someone who needs a bigger car. The C-Class is like the CTS for like a college kid or someone who wants a sporty smaller car. Hope this helps you.

It's amazing how much the style dated so quickly

Maybe because it didn't. STS is still the pinnacle of modern design, and it holds up fantastically well, over 15 years later.

it's a luxury car, wat did u expect -.-?

Great car but about $10,000 overpriced. You can get comprable or better cars in the $34-$37k price range! Another problem, all the Car Rental cos run these and *after two years* the Cadillac that you paid $45-$50k for is then going for $25k used!

German cars aren't really any more or less luxury, sporty, or considering how awesome the CTS-V is, fast. That's just not true.

please....

I agree. It's like saying, Germany is superior to everything! In that case..., Germany should be the strongest country in the world(Not)! Smh.. Not to sound biased but, I'd pick an American luxury vehicle over a German luxury vehicle, anyday! They're not really all of that different!

The chrome on these Cadillacs are metal. I find it "tacky" when I take a look at my mothers 2008 CRV which cost like $30,000 and find all of the "chrome" emblems are plastic. The ride is terrible and so is the noise in the cabin. Face it, American cars are coming back.

I like this car but waaaay over priced.

@JimboSlice114 and you must be 13! Good for you pall. Open your eyes and make a notice on the floppy design of that thing! LOLOLO senile old granpa can't see the car because his vision got blurry back in the 1700's.

Oragaaamy. Hahaha that guys pronunciation sucks,

I prefer the CTS.

This guys monotone voice makes me want to punch something in anger

Let's not forget about Lincoln. ;-)

Awesome car! I love the design, but the engines are still far too big. Eventualy Cadillac will sink if they don't adapt their cars to low consume Diesel engines or other alternatives. . Audi, for example, uses for the same class of car 1.9 or 2.5 turbo diesel engines that still run fast enough, but consuming around 6 litres on 100 kms in combined regime. I would sincerely buy an STS rather than a A6 or A4 or 5 Series BMW, but with a smaller diesel engine. I want a car for making miles not show

Why isn't this car dead yet? It is lonngggg overdue

the styling is so dated, in comparison to its competitors this car look like a tacky wanna be luxury car. ive noticed this with a lot of american cars, they have too much chrome that it just makes it look cheap. in my opinion american cars are second class cars, not really in the same league as japanese cars and europeans. just my oppinion, dont wish to offend!!
