Overview & Reviews

The 2008 Cadillac STS has been significantly updated. Beyond revised styling and a more luxuriously trimmed interior, several high-tech safety and performance options keep this all-American Cadillac competitive in the luxury sport sedan segment. The base-trim STS also features a more powerful and efficient 302-horsepower V6 coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission.

• Optional Bose stereo is one of the best in its class.
• Low price for a full-size luxury sport sedan, powerful new V6, nimble road feel for such a large car, sporty all-American looks, available all-wheel drive

• Sporty front seats might be too firm for some posteriors, interior plastics not quite up to the standards set by the top-ranked competition.

  Lemonade - 2008 Cadillac STS
  By LarryG - January 16 - 7:20 am

  Leased my 2008 STS in late December, 2007. Failed camshaft sensor, failed right side cam at 13,000 miles, deffective FOBs, 5-burned out lights, deffective drivers seat lumbar system. Dealer is great but car spends too much time in service bay. Will not lease or buy another GM product. Totaly fed up.

  Why German - 2008 Cadillac STS
  By OKCowboy - August 17 - 6:33 pm

  My first Caddy. I have owned many Lincolns, several Mercedes, a terrific Jag and some unmentionables over my almost 40 years of "business" driving. This car has great styling, exceptional sound system and many, many options. It is very responsive, quite and comfortable to drive. I drove all the "others" before I chose the caddy and price was not a concern. Im glad to be driving an American sport sedan. It looks good and drive great. Time will tell but so far its a winner.

  From 2 BMW to Cadillac... - 2008 Cadillac STS
  By Eric - July 29 - 11:48 pm

  After 2 BMW,I just bought my first caddy at 36 yrs old.I was just tired seeing BMW,G35,NEW C-class even the new CTS every corner. So I found a great STS. Its very comfy very luxurious and the space inside. The nav with the 15 speakers from Bose? Oh la la. Its the best oem sound system Ive ever heard, by the way I am a musician. Of course the mileage is so so I bought the v8. Funny that the hid light are not std for that car. Overall its a good value when reduce cause I wouldnt buy at full retail. I love everything about the car but its not BMW handling and driving experience. When you think about it who care were not formula 1 driver, right? Cadillac: the ultimate luxury experience? I guess

  Driving the 2008 STS - 2008 Cadillac STS
  By Samlh - June 21 - 11:53 pm

  I bought the V8 style, because adaptive speed control was not available on the V6. I traded in my 2005 STS, and got a great deal on the purchase. To this point, I am very pleased with the car, although gas mileage has not been good. Hopefully, it will get batter as I put more miles on the car. Although my 2008 is still very new,I believe it is a big improvement over the 2005. The car looks and rides better. I believe I made a good decision in purchasing the 2008 STS.

  STS not so good - 2008 Cadillac STS
  By David Lovitt - April 19 - 1:36 pm

  Car has been into shop twice with less than 400 miles on the odometer. Today it completely died after refusing to shift into any gear higher than second. Problems with stability control and antilock brake system at 200 miles. Also has some paint flaws that need to be addressed. Im sorry I tried so hard to buy this vehicle.

  my turn - 2008 Cadillac STS
  By jeff - April 8 - 7:52 am

  Love the car. But difficult to get out of it. Doors seem a bit small. GPS advanced, difficult to learn. Dealer should specifically have someone to spend 30 to 45 minutes with you to review. Would make life easier first few days. Overall very happy and doing better on gas after 350 miles than I expected
