Overview & Reviews

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.

• 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.

• Sporty bucket seats might be a bit firm for some, plastic interior panels not quite up to German standards, only one transmission available.

  cadillac reliability - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By harrison - November 7 - 10:26 am

  Bought this one certified used with 24,000 miles.. No issues at all in the entire vehicle history report this car stays on the road and not in the shop like previously owned BMWs and acuras.. You def can not get a better ride than with a caddy... Only issue not as quiet as a Lexus but theyre improving

  Amazing car! Good job Cadillac!! - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By CStradling24 - September 27 - 10:27 pm

  I am one of the biggest critics about everything. This car is nearly perfect. I am in my early 20s and usually people my age dont have cars like this. It was my dream car and met every expectation. I own the V8, fully loaded with absolute every feature besides AWD. It never gets old driving this car. When I bought it, the car was still under warranty and I had some small issues fixed without a problem. The performance of a car this heavy is nothing less than what you would expect from Cadillac. The interior looks great and very classy. I like how Cadillac did not go crazy with buttons, they kept it nice and simple.

  STS better than a BMW - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Gordon Lewis - August 12 - 10:00 am

  Previuosly owned a BMW 528 sedan - Cadillac STS is by far as much if not more automobile for the buck & with just as much bang when it comes to handling, performance & comfort.

  The STS is a beautiful auto. It drives like a sedan but performs like a rocket. It is fast, sleek and a blast to drive. =0)

  The only problem with this car was the mirror on drivers side had locating problems.This was fixed.otherwise great experience.Put 20s on and looks great.Rough riding due to the low profiles and all the mechanisms in the seats, but wonderful vehicle experience.

  I would buy another one - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By MyfirstCaddy - June 15 - 6:39 pm

  I bought my used with 45k on it, I love the way the car drives and handles, I put a set of 22 inch wheels on it,that makes it very unique, I love the way my car looks. I wish it had a bigger trunk and more space in the glove box. I did had some problems with the car making some noise coming from the ac vents, it sounded like someone was passing gas (upps) other than that, I love my car, I wish I had bought the V8 AWD

  awesome ultra fine classy car - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By ultrastark - May 30 - 2:32 am

  owning and especially driving this beauty are an absolute pleasure, yea there is the odd glitch here and there such as the interior shud be a bit more prestigous. the 320 hp is awesome they shud have made it a 360hp or so but the 320hp is superfine. sound system is beyond prestige. it handles like a sports car born on the track. what a sweet ride u built it right this time caddy, the headlight and light system mated to the front fascia is a designers showpiece.

  Flashy, gorgeous, fun and admirable - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By BigThermometer - February 25 - 4:01 pm

  Ive loved this car since we got it new back in 04. And now Im purchasing it from my parents, thanks to luxury cars famous depreciation. This AWD car replaced our beloved 2003 Audi A6 and surpassed it in almost every way (gas mileage being one of the only exceptions [minor]). The car is built as well if not better, has AWD, is incredibly fast for a heavy 4-door, looks fantastic in every angle-inside and out, fun to drive (handles well), and the stereo wipes out every other car stereo Ive ever heard-standard or aftermarket. 97k miles on it and has been absolutely reliable. My parents have now bought a new CTS-V and will probably stick with Cadillacs forever. I will likely do the same.

  Cadillac: The American dream - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Jason - February 20 - 6:56 pm

  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.

  Affordable muscle - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Just Brilliant - February 3 - 9:51 am

  I keep a number of cars- for business, fun, performance and some just to look at. The STS is meant for business appts and really fits the category. Picking a client up in a $100k car or a $1k car sends a message. Its great for taking my hottie out on the town. No worries about the elements or parking lots. Dont settle for less then a fully optioned vehicle. Get the heads up display, V8, navi, sunroof, 15 speaker bose, adaptive cruise, 18 inch wheels. Reliability is an issue along with finding knowledgeable, competent and confident service.
