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.

  Overall opinion - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By dippers - April 4 - 5:16 pm

  I am quite disappointed with the overall performance. I find the ride to be very uncomfortable. Also, there is excessive road (tire) noise at highway speeds. The front end feels sloppy going over small (speed) bumps. The front struts were replaced approximately two weeks after purchase. I wasnt aware of the diffence in tire size between front and rear which negates tire rotation. I also average about 14 mpg city driving not 17. This will definitely not be my car choice in the future.

  STS Power! - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Anthony Cronin - March 26 - 7:59 pm

  I have had this car for almost a year now. Every option has come into play by now and the ride is comfortable and very aggressive. The Tiptronic transmission isnt very good at all though. It has no control nor has any power behind it. I drive the STS about 400-550 miles a week and I love it. It is great on long trips and very economic in your daily drive around neighborhood. It has had a few computer problems, or re-calls. But I think that the wear is partial to that. I love the car, I definitely want another STS in the near future.

  CADDY HAS FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT! - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Ira d - March 4 - 7:43 am

  I HAVE JUST PURCHASED MY STS WITH THE G PACKAGE AND I HAVE THE CAR FOR A TOTAL OF 700 SO FAR. I HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS CAR IS EVERYTHING YOU COULD ASK FOR IN A LUXURY CAR. I LOVE THE ALL AROUND PERFORMANCE AND IT DISTINCTIVE APPEARANCE. THE "G" HAS TO BE ORDERED, BUT IT IS WELL WORTH THE WAIT. THE CAR LOOKS MUCH BETTER WITH THE 18 INCH WHEELS. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IT IS A CREDIBLE RIVAL FOR BMW AND MERCEDES, AND SHOULD BE ON EVERYONES LIST. THE GAS MILEAGE COULD BE BETTER, HOWEVER, BUT OVERALL, "WOW" IS THE BEST ADJECTIVE TO USE!!

  Cadillac STS - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By jhutchinson1 - January 31 - 4:13 pm

  I love the look and feel of this car, however the engine and steering column have already been replaced before it hit 6,000 miles. The parts were not in stock, resulting in 37 days repair time the first time and 39 the second. I am in the process of a buyback now!

  Combination of Luxury and Performance - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By pres - January 9 - 7:02 pm

  The 2005 Cadillac STS is an excellent blend of comfort and performance. It has good power, road manners, a good feel for the road, and handling. Its adroit yet comfortable. The appearance of this car is sharp, but with a rich look.

  After One Year - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By pb - January 5 - 1:06 am

  I have driven my 2005 Cadillac STS for 12 months and find that it meets most of my expectations. Coming from a 2002 BMW M3 (and a BMW 540 prior to that), I was looking for more room and creature comforts. Wishing to buy American, I chose the STS V8. I have had only one signifcant problem, the steering column came loose after two months apparently from a manufacturing defect. Cadillac replaced it promtly and I had no further problem. Overall, this car is a great combination of power and a smooth ride, with useful technology (navigation, remote start, and terrific sound system-you must listen to 5.1 channel musice CDs in this vehicle). All this and its American!

  What a Car! - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Paul Myer - December 10 - 4:50 pm

  The 2005 Cadillac STS is a great car that is packed with a lot of useful technology. Its fit and finish were best of any GM car that I have purchased. I drove it off dealer lot about 2,000 miles ago have not been back since. I have never purchased a car before where I could not find something wrong with that needed to go back to the dealer to have fixed. XM radio with the 15 Bose speakers is awesome.

  Fourth One - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Frank Maiese - October 4 - 10:13 am

  This is my fourth Cadillac. The only thing I miss is the floatly driving of the big Cadillacs, other then that it is a great car. I like the way it handles going around curves. If you go a little too fast it brakes itself and slows down to a safer speed.

  Front End Problems - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By jclarkeusa - September 17 - 5:55 pm

  My 2005 Cadillac STS is a nice car but the front end rattles excessively at speeds of 35 MPH or under. To date, Cadillac has been unable to fix the problem. So far, they have replaced a control arm but that still has not fixed the problem. If I had it to do over again I would have purchased the Infinit M35 or BMW 530i. This will be the last time I buy an American luxury car!

  The Batmobile - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Batman - September 4 - 12:09 pm

  Fantastic car with tons of cool gizmos and gadgets that are so fun to play with. Great power with the V8, and handling with the magnetic suspension is the best that I have driven. I really like the remote start, cools it down inside. If only it would come pick me up. The black exterior and the chrome lines make it my little Batmoblie.
