This Year's Model Updates:

Cadillac's full size sedan is all new for 2005, rounding out the luxury marque's self-proclaimed renaissance with a bevy of performance-oriented credentials, including rear-wheel drive and two powerful engine options. Cutting-edge styling, lavish interior appointments and available all-wheel drive have brought GM's flagship up to par with the best Europe and Japan have to offer.

Pros:
  • Full-size car at a midsize price, nimble road feel, powerful engine options, available all-wheel drive, optional Bose stereo is one of the best in its class.
Cons:
  • Sporty bucket seats might be a bit firm for some, plastic interior panels not quite up to German standards, only one transmission available.

  • Cadillac Got it Right! - 2005 Cadillac STS

    With a powerful V8 engine and a suspension and body to handle all that power the STS is a drivers dream. The acceleration has to be experinced to be believed either from a dead stop or from 80 on up it is really fast. The styling is cutting edge for Cadillac with a look that is appealing for young and old with a bold athletic stance that says it is ready to move and move fast. If you are looking for a sedan that looks great inside and out and handles like a sports car a test drive in this beauty is highly recommended.

    This is my third Cadillac and second STS. I could not wait to get this car and its worth the wait. Great design, exterior and interior. A real head turner, I have gotten more compliments on this car in the first 30 days. It is sleek, nimble and fast just like you want. The only disappointment so far is the voice control seems to be a little wacky. There are so many new neat features it takes a while to learn them all. I love the air- conditioned front seats. But most of all it is the Power and Ride.

    2005 STS V6 Pkg. 1SC This is absolutely the finest vehicle Ive ever owned. From the DVD audio with Bose 5.1 surround sound to the keyless EVERYTHING! (Im still trying to figure out what to do with my keys!) Bluetooth phone, DVD, all features exceptional. They obviously took cues from import luxury cars but "tweeked" the options to be more user friendly. Handling, ride, suspension - all incredible. I feel as though this car was designed specifically for me! Gas mileage is not-so-great as a barrel of oil hits 55.00 but its not like a surprise with a 255 HP V-6. Get down to your Cadillac dealer! You gotta drive this car!

    the seats are very uncomfortable,,,the cd that explains how this car works is 2 hours long and ridiculous to sit and listen to since you cannot have the motor on and then you have to start on and off...i did not listen to the whole thing...we still dont understand how you handle valet parking...what do you give the driver??the keyless portion is great...i think that gm should offer a house visit after you have the car for a few weeks...we will probably visit the dealer and go over some of the items again....gm should definitly have made the seats with more comfort in mind-the book is not clear either

  • STS - MORE CAR THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    Forget the negative comments. This car has all the great features you will ever want in an automobile. Its fast enough, rides comfortably, and comes with all the bells and whistles. The 1SF I drive makes the 03 Infinity Q45 I traded seem like just another car. With only 300 miles its hard to find any faults. All the technology becomes overwhelming when you are trying to learn it all at one time, but the fun is discovering new things this car will do everyday. Going back to a car without keyless entry, 5.1 surround sound, advanced navigation, intelligent headlights, rainsence wipers, heads up display, in a perfectly designed cockpit will be impossible.
