Cadillac STS-V reviews

2009 Cadillac STS-V Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 2009 Cadillac STS-V:

• "The 255 horsepower 3.6 liter STS V-6 starts at $41,220 and averages $45,000 with an option package or two...That's about $5,000 less than last year's base V-8 Seville, which this car replaces."- Cars.com

• "Most of the STS's interior features come standard (as one would hope for about $75,000)?"- Edmunds.com

• "The STS-V is a serious performance machine and should be treated as such...it outclasses the Jaguar S-Type R and makes for a very interesting alternative to the Mercedes E55 AMG."- Edmunds.com

• "The front-end styling continues the Cadillac predatory image...The rest of the STS exterior is lean and undramatic, in a business-class sense of efficiency."- Cars.com

• "The STS essentially is a stretched version of Cadillac's hot CTS sedan and is arguably the best-looking Cadillac."- MSN Autos

What reviewers liked least about the 2009 Cadillac STS-V:

• "Leg and foot room in the back seat isn't bad once you're in position, but long legs may have to scrunch up to slip between seat base and door opening."- Cars.com

• "...at 13.8 cubic feet, the STS-V's luggage capacity is merely adequate."- Edmunds.com

• "The glove box is so small it's almost unusable?"- Cars.com

2009 Cadillac STS-V Comparisons:

• "...the STS-V's backseat passengers will have plenty of room. Rear legroom trumps that found in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and even edges out the spacious Lexus LS 430."- Edmunds.com

Best one-liners about the 2009 Cadillac STS-V:

• The new STS has the fit and finish of a well-made, off-the-rack suit. It is a well-coordinated step up from CTS, but it lacks the custom tailoring that is so appealing in...some of the...competitors."- Cars.com

• "...make no mistake -- this is not a lumpy Cadillac of yore and it's fully competent in matching or exceeding the skills of most drivers."- Edmunds.com
