What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2005 Cadillac STS appreciate its blend of luxury, performance, and comfort. Many drivers rave about the strong engine power, smooth handling, and high-quality interior features. However, some concerns were raised about electrical issues, rear seat legroom, and fuel economy, especially for the powerful V8 engine."
This car is very fun to drive and it still turns heads when it drives by. Highway driving couldn't be more smooth and relaxing. Almost feels like you're driving on a cloud with pillows surrounding you. The handling and performance is excellent and in the 7 years I've owned one it has never been in the shop for any major issues, just routine maintenance. A great buy.
October 4, 2012So far, I've had the car for a little over a month and completely floored by it. It has great pick-up, great looks, and wonderful amenities. The Bose sound system is simply wonderful. It's a blast to drive the only con I've found is that the NorthStar loves to go through gas. Roughly 18 MPG. I've had a few electrical quirks, but with Cadillac's I've come to expect it.
August 11, 2008I've loved my 2005 STS v8 from the day I bought it. Great Ride for a long commute. Ventilated seats are a must in the Florida Heat! This car renewed Cadillac style for a younger generation. I have owned three Cadillacs and look forward to owning more.

February 3, 2015I bought this car based on its looks and navigation system, the ride and the quality were excellent additions. I love the car, I love the stereo and I love the way it looks when it is washed and waxed. I have had $3500 dollars worth of radio's, subwoofers and amplifiers in past cars. The Cadillac may not be quite as loud, but the sound quality is excellent.
June 1, 2011This car blends the best all worlds, comfort, performance, economy, quality, reliability, beauty, and prestige all wrapped in an American product. Performance is solid and strong, yet still returns decent fuel economy of about 22 MPG in mixed driving. The interior is luxurious, quiet (except for some tire rumble), very comfortable and well laid out. The elegant exterior is a color called Moonstone Metallic, a charcoal dark gray that shifts depending on the light. Just pure eye candy! Oh and lets not forget absolutely amazing Cadillac service and care, you are treated with great respect and make you feel like a king. Worth the extra cost alone! Overall it makes this car an excellent value in my opinion. After three years, I am still highly satisfied and will only replace with another Caddy in the future!
October 16, 2008I love this car more than any I've ever owned. It looks phenomenal. Handles like a dream. The all wheel drive is perfect for Indiana winters. The interior is beautiful. I love the XM radio and navigation. Seats are great, heated and air conditioned. Could use more leg room for the back seats, however the trunk is massive! I'll drive this car until the wheels fall off!
August 29, 2008Northstar V8 LH2 320hp / 315lb-ft AWD 5 speed auto (2005) 4200lbs 17/24mpg 0-60 under 6 seconds Bose 5.1 Studio Surround (14 speakers) Only disappointment in the interior is the somewhat creaky plastic trim between the two front seats.. everywhere else is spectacular.
April 15, 2008The car could easily take part in the Fast and the Furious. While no repairs have been needed, the build quality inside looks kind of cheap for a 50K+ MSRP. Some trim parts look like cheap plastic. Otherwise, interior and exterior styling is on or above par. When compared to my Eldorado, city MPG for this car is around 20.5; I have not had a chance to test highway MPG but I'm guessing it'll be in the upper 20's given my driving habits. The car, with DSC, is very fun to drive.
May 20, 2009This car looks awesome, and rides the same. Comforts and Conveniences are everywhere. I feel surrounded by luxury and power. Excellent car and style. I am not thrilled with the lack of leg room for rear passengers, but as long as they are children it can be overlooked.
September 8, 2014this car had it all very luxurious and sporty looking had all the options plus extras had to replace the wheel bearings in it twice other than that just normal maint.after i sold it i regreted it wish i still had it
