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.

  • Great American Car - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    I looked at all the competitors - BMW 5 series, MB 300s, Lexus 300s, Acura TL and RL, Audi, and Infiniti M35/45. The Cadillac has edgier styling, better or as good as interior than all but Audi (BMW was pitiful). It also has better build and reliability than the European cars, more fun and masculine than Lexus or Acura. Only the Infiniti was close. It has more toys for the money and the option packages made more sense. But the STS is stylish, roomy, confortable and a great drive. Best of all, its made in America.

    This car is awesome. it looks amazing driving down the street. I even got a complement from a Mercedes owner. The STS drives great and I love the cruise control that slows down when you get too close to another car. The heated/cooled seats are great for any weather. The navigation screen is big and easy to see even when the sun is out by moving the screen back and forth.

  • STS Rocks! - 2005 Cadillac STS

    This car is What puts Cadillac over the top. Not soft and old like Lexas. Not hard, business like and ugly like the new BMWs. By far the best stereo system in any car at any price.The STS Rocks!

  • They did Good - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    I like the looks and performance and I got the car loaded with just about every piece of optional equipment. Its nice to have people stare and compliment me on the car and maybe some day Ill figure out how to use all the gadgets.

  • My first Cadillac - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    In my 30 plus years of driving I have driven all makes and some of the best cars in the world including Rolls Royce, and I have never seen a car so confortable, safe and tecnicaly advanced as my new STS. I truly enjoy driving it. Be aware that you lose your privacy, wherever you go people just keep looking at the car and driver (I think I like it). What a great buy I have made.

    Well designed and makes driving a pleasure. The engineers really gave a lot of thought to this design. It is ergonomically correct!

  • On the road again - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    We traded 2002 DeVille in after test driving our STS 2005 Northstar V8. We test drove a Jaguar and a Mercedes a few months back. We werent in the market to really purchase a new car, but after driving the STS, we were sold. Handles like a dream, drives true and is really fun to drive. I am so lucky my husband who has is a car buff from way back, said he wouldnt consider the V6. When the salesman rode with us in the V8, he said it did have a little more pep than the V6! Beautifully done car, inside and out. Cadillac has a winner and so do we.

  • I love my STS - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    Over a 50 year span, my new STS is my 47th car and without doubt it is the best one I have owned. Its handling and all out drivability surpass anything I have ever driven, including 8 Mercedes and 3 Porsches, even a Lotus. And at 75 mph, it gets 24 miles to the gallon. Cadillac is again the standard of the world. All this for $50,000. Imagine!

  • Im glad I bought it - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    I was shopping for a car in the $40,000 range. The Cadillac stood out in terms of styling and interior space. I chose it over the Acura RL which is nice but looks too much like a Honda Accord. Drives well. Excellent build quality. With 50/50 highway / city driving I get around 21 MPG.

  • Awesome remake of this vehicle - 2005 Cadillac STS
    By -

    I am so pleased with the remake of this car. It is a huge improvement over the previous models. This is the most fun car I have ever driven and I rent vehicles weekly in my travels. Highly recommended.
