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.

  Uncomforable drivers seat - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Connie Lara - April 7 - 8:39 pm

  I really enjoy the power my car has but, I really have a problem with the comfort of the drivers seat. After a 3 hour drive my right leg starts to cramp and I get pain in my hip. I attributed this to back surgery but after reading the reviews on this car I am glad to find out it is not me. The dealership has been great but I am disappointed with the car considering it is supposed to be a luxury vehicle.

  My 05 Cadillac STS is a pleasure to drive. Its exterior styling is unique, and looks great. The fit and finish of both the exterior and interior is fine. The interior noise level is almost nonexistant. This is a great truck in all respects.

  Love my 2005 STS - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By Rob & Renee in WA - January 6 - 4:37 pm

  We traded a 2006 Subaru Outback in on this car. We wanted something larger and better looking and boy did we get it! Interior is roomy and seats (front and back) are extremely comfortable. Tons of leg room, even in the back seat. We like the seperate climate controls, power sunroof, and the automatic driver settings. This car will adjust the seat and mirror settings for two drivers. It is really neat getting into the car after my husband has used it, and the seats and mirrors are set exactly where I like them. Trunk is a bit small & the glove box is a joke. Gorgeous exterior and extreme pick up. Very fast and fun to drive. This is not your grandpas car!

  I Love the 2005 Cadillac STS - 2005 Cadillac STS

  I just came out of a Cadillac CTS, which I really, really liked. However, my fully loaded 2005 Cadillac STS V6, is in another class.

  Standard of the World: 2005 STS V8 1SG - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By BenjaminSimon - April 3 - 2:28 pm

  I may only be 24 but this Caddy is one of the finest cars I have even been in. Sure a 7 series or S class is better, but I cannot afford those. I like how heads turn when I drive by. I have every factory option and I would have it no other way. I live in the south, so AWD is something that I did not want. AWD hurts both performance and gas mileage. Instead I got performance handling package. (It was a either/or option with AWD) The gas mileage is very average, but I did not buy this car to save money on gas. The MSRP was $63K+ and I would suggest buying used. I got mine 10 months old with 15K and saved huge money. Only been in the shop for software updates. Best value on the road for under $65K

  STS Brakes and Front End - 2005 Cadillac STS
  By gojo2 - March 15 - 5:13 pm

  Our 2005 Cadillac STS is not as reliable as the Lexus weve owned. Weve had problems with the brakes and the front end. The dealer and Cadillac are not as friendly to customers as they claim.

  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.

  I have to admit, being 30 years-old and buying my 6th Caddy, this one is the nicest by far. Every time I am out, people comment on the sleekness of it and its stately appearance. They do have to fix a couple things on it however (stated below). But overall, its American made and put together cheaply. Its only worth $30,000 at the most.

  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."
