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.

  Rons Cadillac - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By rons cad - March 3 - 10:25 pm

  This is my first Cadillac. It is a great handling automobile. I chose the black color. It is very good looking, better than a BMW or Mercedes, in my opinion. The brake performance is excellent, but has a squeal problem. Dealer service has been wonderful so far. I will buy one again.

  Best Car I Have Owned - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By mack - February 3 - 8:17 am

  The 2005 Cadillac STS is by far the best car I have ever owned. I traded a 2003 CTS in for this one. The CTS is sort of a "Starter Cadillac." The STS bells and whistles seem to never end. I keep finding new ones. Its ride is awesome.

  Cadillac is the Best - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By large sedan - December 16 - 9:15 am

  My miles have been - 33% city, 33% 300 mile trips, and 33% long trips. Around town I ave between getting 20 to 21 mpg. On the 300 mile trips I ave 24 mpg, and on long trips I avg. 25 mpg. With 36,000 miles and counting I have not had any problems requiring service. This is my second Cadillac, after two Buicks. I will trade it in for another Cadillac at 70,000 to 90,000 miles. My experience with the dealer has been tremendous. They pick up and return my car for service. They offer a ride if I drop off the car for oil changes. When I go for an oil change I make an appointment and wait in a plush waiting room with hot coffee and pastries available for "free."

  My 05 STS V-8 with 1sg package - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Robert - September 18 - 5:13 pm

  The performance of the vehicle is outstanding and transmission shifts so smooth you do not feel it shifting. Exterior and interior fit and finish is is up to par if not better than all other autombiles.

  2005 STS - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By sports sedan - August 27 - 10:43 am

  I bought this car new 7/26/06 with 355 miles on it. Within two weeks, I made a trip to WA state. I never averaged below 25.5 MPG. For the most part, I averaged near 28 MPG. The acceleration was great. The dip stick showed little or no use of oil. I thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities (OnStar, XM radio, dual a/c, and driver memory settings). The STS was quiet and practically drove itsself, even on poorly maintained roads.

  The Most Car for the Money - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Mark Moran - August 10 - 8:01 am

  The car rides somewhere between a Lexus and a BMW. It is firm and responsive, especially in sport driving mode (or manual shifting) with the performance transmission setting. It really zips along.

  Great car except... - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By James Bridges - May 27 - 12:23 pm

  The Cadillac STS is a great car except for its very poor glove box design. Also, the rear seats are cramped, there is only room for 2 passengers. The trunk is small for this class of vehicle, it has poor storage. There is only luggage space for 2 passengers.

  Satisfied Customer - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By The white streak! - May 10 - 4:39 pm

  I really enjoy the vehicle and love the look and feel! I have experienced squeeking in my breaks though. All of the interior features are generally wonderful. It can be difficult to get into the vehicle, but overall the ride and feel are wonderful! I have had many had many people comment on the look of the car and most people are in love with it!

  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!!

  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.
