Best Car I Have Owned, Hands Down! — 320 HP performance, sport/manual shift option The most fun I have had driving in 30 years Very Quiet (a little more exhaust growl would be nice) All Wheel Drive is awesome Magnetic Ride Control on the fly. Sport mode really sticks to the curves. Drive it like you stole it! The Northstar loves to run.

My Dream Car — I own a 2006 Cadillac STS in white diamond with a cashmere interior. Just saying those words make me feel warm and fuzzy. This is my 'dream car'. I just recently got it, it was previously owned, and I love the car. It accelerates on the freeway perfectly, brakes well when I need it. There are no 'extra' little sounds, like squeaks or rattles, this car is built very solid. I had 28 mpg coming home from a trip to Vegas, and I was very pleased with that. So far, so good, just regular maintenance, no problems at all. I'd recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, luxury car that will impress your friends and relatives, and make you feel good driving it!

Carwash attendents don't know how to work keyless cars!

Love This Car, Very Comfortable And Has Style And Rides Smooth And Quite. — With it being a keyless, I have left my car running several times and not know it until I go back to my car and the A/C is still on...I've had to have the battery changed out a couple of times because the car has too many things on it that it overloads the battery when you start it with the fob. Other than that, I've had more compliments on my white STS then any car I've ever owned. But now the lease is about up I'm looking to find another caddy.

Pros

I like the presence of a Cadillac. The handling is amazing, as is the over quality of the ride.

Cons

Gas mileage. Obviously not a deal breaker for me. If you want a full size car with some get up and go 18 - 26 is the average in the market.

My New Baby! — The STS fits me best out of all the Cadillac s (I can afford). The CTS has nice body lines but I wanted more leg room. The DTS has more standard options and maybe a better ride for the highway driving types. But I wanted a sportier feel all around, the better gas mileage (v6 option) and AWD.

Cadillac Sts — This car is a beauty... Equiped with a touch screen GPS,xm radio accompianied w Bose surround sound speakers and sub. This car is a bit on the high end when it comes to price but it is an amazing machine! This car would be a great car to learn how to drive with because it has ABS brakes and also traction control and if it starts to slide on ice it recorrects itself and makes you continue driving straight.

Good Accelleration, Comfortable Ride, Looks Good — Overall, I like the 2006 STS very much. Good pick up, comfotable ride and looks very good. Goods accessaries and lots of features. This is my first premium car, so I am comparing Chevy Impalas and ASRO vans. One drawback is the small trunk. My 2002 Implal had a large trunk.

Why I'm A Cadillac Guy Now — pros says it all. I liked the brushed metal trim instead of the cheesy plastic wood grain on some models. looks great since same body style '06 to '11 . Fun to drive around town and of course quiet cabin. Bose sound is great.
