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.

  • Best Built Luxury Vehicle that Ive Owned - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    Ive had the Audi A8 and the Mercedes E-Class and by far I must say that the new STS is by far the best to drive and it handles on a dime. I was merely impressed to see that GM has gotten a vechicle to play with those that others claim to be the best in this class.

    This vehicle is in one word awesome. You have to drive one to believe the over all performance, comfort and whatever you would ever dream of having in a car. I have owned a few Cadillacs, they were all wonderful cars but nothing like this one. Competitors cant touch this one. I love my STS.

    This is the most fun car I have ever owned. The quality is exceptional and it has so many gizmos on it, it is hard to use them all.

  • Great American Car!!! - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    Originally went to purchase a CTS Luxury Sport but the salesman also showed us a V6 STS Luxury pkg. For a few dollars more my wife and I got exactly what we were both looking for. I have been looking at both Japanese and European cars for the past 3 months and the STS V6 beats them all! The V6 is the perfect engine at 255 HP, coupled with a 5 speed auto trans that has sport mode as well as a manual shift option, this car not only looks great its a blast to drive. Center stack with optional Premium upgrade gets wood trim, which makes this interior gorgeous! If thats not enough, it runs on regular gas, something all the imports cant do. Also remember it is rear wheel drive, so no torque steer.

    I really like this car, is fun to drive, the style is nice. Delivers performance when needed. The gadgets are amazing, the keyless entry is my favorite, but I also like the Onstar equipped phone and the transmission switch. Is a nice car.

  • My first Cadillac - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    I have always bought Buicks but this year I decided to upgrade to Cadillac. The STS ads got my attention and since I only buy American cars, I was sold. So far so good. I looked at the Lucerne but I did not like the name nor the improvements since I bought my 2000 LeSabre Limited.

  • New STS Rocks - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    I recently bought a new STS V8 AWD. Compared to the competition (Mercedes, Lexus) it was equal in performance, finish and fit. It exceeds the Lexus LS 430 in that its handling sports car like. It would cost $10,000-$15,000 more for similiarly equipped Lexus or Mercedes. I like everything about it except that the gas fill is on the passenger side. Fast, quiet, responsive and luxurious. Bottom line: it is the best value you can get in a luxury vehicle and it is definitely not your daddys Caddy.

  • Standard of the World - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    Cadillac is definetly back in the game with this new STS. From the great looks to the great interior, to superior technology. I have had the car for two months and its great. No problem at all. This is the third Cadillac to be part of our family, and every year they keep on getting better. They have all been great, and no problems at all. Cadillac has really silenced the streotypes. If your looking for a car make sure to test this one out. It blows away all the other midsize cars, whether it be BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, or Jaguar. Excellent Car, worth every penny, as were all the other Cadillacs we have. Why settle for anything but the standard of the World?

    Great car, love to drive it. Best car Ive ever driven. Quiet, great ride. I like the handling on back roads. Fuel mileage is good, not great. Love the Bose sound system. The V6 has plenty of power.

    I love this car. What a amazing ride. Outstanding technology inside the vehicle for a great experience. Better then BMW and Audi hands down. I still cant believe how awesome this car is. Cadillac has its own unique feel which I applaud them for!
