Some of modern Cadillac's iconic styling. The sharp design looks elegant and purposeful. GM can build a good car when they want to, they just always cheap out at the last minute. Whenever they finally get something right they immediately kill it. The CT4, CT5, and CT6 are finally good enough to compete with the Germans. The V brand is stronger than ever. What does GM do? Kill all the sedans in favor of generic crossovers. If GM had committed to the V and put some real development work we could have had an American M3 for the last 10 or 15 years instead of the on-again off-again V sedans. It could coexist just like the 325 exists beside the M3.

You’re definitely right! The CT6 was the epitome of what a Cadillac should be although they’re still producing the CT6 but, for China only tho unfortunately. 2004 Cadillac CTS-V was a M3 competitor also.

You are so right. GM is not brave enough and the Marketing is too weak i guess. A lot of damage was Done in the past with their Cost cutting and strange modell lineups :/ I live here in Austria, drive a 07 STS 4 V8 (beside a Renault Avantime) and love it! But I hardly See any Cadillacs here :/ Audi, BMW, Mercedes are so strong in the premium class:/ boring

​@CodeineAbdulJabbar it's a quite different Northstar engine as the original Northstars were transverse mounted. From what I've heard GM fixed the issues of the earlier front wheel drive Northstars with the rear wheel drive Northstar engines. The earlier Northstar engines gave that name a bad reputation unfortunately.

I had a gorgeous 2008 Gold STS with a V6 that unfortunately got totaled in an accident about a year ago. Such an underrated car the V6 wasn't bad at all, although it did burn quite a bit of oil, it was a joy to drive and surprisingly quick for a V6 while being extremely comfortable. Missed that car so much I bought another one just last week. Silver 2007 STS with the 4.6 Northstar and man despite the reputation on the Northstar engines it is such a wonderful experience to be behind the wheel of such a beast. I almost went with a beautiful STS-V that I saw for sale, but unfortunately I didn't have the funds to do so. I am more than happy with the 4.6, but hearing the whine on that thing really makes me wish I had saved up for the V!

My 2008 with V6 would get about 5000 to a Quart. The V6 was quite Peppy, and could certainly attain some Highly Illegal Speeds. I felt the Ride was harsh enough to injure my Kidneys(that was with the FE1 Suspension, the others must be like having no Springs whatso ever), and the pathetic Seats didn't help, it certainly didn't ride like a Cadillac should. The Timing Chains were replaced by GM at 8 yrs of Age, Mine was involved in a Collision over 2 years ago. I figured it would be written off, so I continued driving it for 23 months, then I put the Claim in. It was. I kept the Salvage and sold it to a Friends Kid, who is going to repair it, get it inspected. I replaced it with a XT5

The early Northstars were the L37 and LD8, which were a front wheel drive application for the Deville, Seville, Eldorado. There were other Northstar engines that didn't carry the flaws of the early N*L37(4.6) and LD8(4.6). The N* L47(4.0) and V6 short star which were in the Aurora was different. The LH2(4.6) in the STS, XLR and SRX is a rear wheel application didn't have problems like the early L37 and LD8 The N* LC3(4.4) STS-V and XLR-V is a solid engine.

I own a 2008 STS-V to which it looks exactly like the car shown in the video (color and the painted wheels), I recognize the TC-Fab intake and the pully. I also own a 2005 CTS-V as well, so I'm constantly comparing the two. What it boils down to is what are you looking for, the CTS feels more sport oriented and honestly kinda lack luster of the two, it's more of a sports car and not really a Cadillac. Dont get me wrong its still nice but when I get into the STS, it feels like I'm stepping into a true luxury car. A couple other features I would add to the video is the fact the STS-V came with blind spot mirrors (arguably the first of it's time), rain sensitive wiper blades (automatically comes on and adjust speed based on intensity), and one of the first adaptive cruise control. The main competitor was the 2008+ Chrysler 300C SRT that came with a lot of similar features. In short, the STS-V is a nice weekend car to take out to the backroads and just enjoy the drive.

Great review! Totally a rare special car. I wanted the sts-v and couldn't find it so I got the 2009 sts v8 model in AWD. Probably for MI the AWD was a life saver in the winter as that car is a tank and never got stuck. I still own my 09 sts along with my xts-v. Still love my 09 sts and its runs brand new with 270k miles on it.

I'm a 2006 owner. Many will recognize my SN from the Caddy forum. Theses cars are great until they start breaking. Then you're faced with "parts unobtanium" due to the 2,503 production count. My list of issues (some are common); -Heated steering wheel failed. A common issue and GM didn't have enough left over by the time mine failed. It's ok though, I don't drive mine in the Chicago winters, so... - Driveshaft center carrier bearing failed. Only option... Find a used one (hard due to 2,503 out there) or forking out a boatload for a custom 1-piece. I was lucky to find a low mileage used one at a GM specialty auto recycler in Sacramento, CA. - Exhaust Manifolds. This is a one-piece manifold/Catalytic converter design. Both of mine split at that joint between the two. OEM's, if you can even find them anymore, are extremely expensive. Magnaflow makes a cheaper alternative, but the drivers side version wasn't well thought out accommodating for the oil dipstick. So I went through a couple dipstick assemblies modifying it to work. - Body parts unique to the STS-V. I hit a dog with mine. There were no STS-V front bumper covers available through the GM NA SPO. We even had GM corporate trying to source one. We went through 9 covers from GM before insurance said enough was enough and waived my deductible. The difference is the headlight washers you see in the video. None of the covers would work with my OEM headlight washer equipment. So I had to forego them. The box of parts is sitting in the garage... - Magnetic shocks. Another feature I enjoy, err, enjoyed on the car. Putting it in to "competitive driving mode" and handling some curves. Well, when they go out, the OEM's are next to impossible to find, so if you replace them, you replace them with passive units and lose another feature of the car. Then there are the common things like thermostat issues, cam cover oil leaks, shifter/shifter issues, clock issues if you disconnect/replace the battery (mine finally came back) and a myriad of other things. Overall I've thoroughly have enjoyed the car (had it 13+ years now), but my patience is wearing thin as the car has spent the later part of the last two years waiting on parts/installing parts and sitting in a body shop. -

@@YanilMiami305 I can't say I've every heard that and don't believe that to be true. That could simply be because 2006 is also the most produced year of this car too at 1,306 vs. 2009 at 96. So naturally 2006 would also be the model year to have the most "failures" per car compared to 2009. Only 2,503 in total were made between 2006 & 2009. There is no difference mechanically between the years. The only things changed were some interior trim pieces/steering wheel, the addition of an exterior fender vent, addition of HUD and that later years had the engine assembler sign a plaque on the engine with their name.

I have owned an 05 STS, an 05 CTS-V, and an 04 E55 (among other cars) so I am qualified to comment on some things. On the STS platform itself, yes it was supposed to be larger than the CTS but it was barely larger. My STS was a top trim (non-V) and was pretty athletic. I had my STS from 2017 to early 2022. The top feature I miss about it: the audio system. It had that 15 speaker Bose Studio 15 system and it was one of the best systems of the time (there is an old Edmunds article that validates this). It just sounded so good. Perhaps the second feature I miss was the steering. It had an upgraded ZF rack (still hydraulic) and the steering feel was just sublime. I think the STS-V may have an early ZF electric rack so probably more numb than my STS was. Fun fact: my STS had the GM MR shocks and they did work (on the firm side) but the STS-V has regular Sachs shocks similar to my CTS-V. The STS-V was also not available with the radar adaptive cruise (mine didn't have it, either). Funny enough I bought my CTS-V from a guy who traded it for an STS-V. That said, when it was time to move on from my V (2010-2021 or so), I had considered the STS-V very carefully, and even test drove one. It seemed like it might be perfect - keep the good audio, keep the good chassis, add power, add brakes. What's not to like? That was when I discovered the E55. My E55 offered a better overall experience than the STS-V for less money, so I moved in that direction and have further embraced Mercedes as a result. Bonus comment: I have owned two LH2 Northstars (08 SRX and that 05 STS) and I ran them both to around 158-160k with no engine issues at all. They are known for leaks more than anything. My STS was leaky but the SRX wasn't too bad actually.

The sts was such an odd car. Starting out as the funkily styled fwd seville in the 80's to a handsome but still fwd sts seville in the nineties, it was a bold move to change it to a rwd euro style car in the 00's. I'm assuming the dts sort of filled in the hole that was left when this model went more upscale.

Back in the day I considered an STS - not a V, but the 8 with AWD (they did make a V6). It just didn't do it for me - might have been the specific car, the dealer, whatever - but it didn't give me the feeling that I was a part of the car. The CTS however, did. Maybe the STS was just too big. At the end of the day, I stuck with German (big reason was that I could and did get a 6 speed manual)

I've never pressed the trunk button on my STS-V fob, since new. Like most cars, there is a pad above the rear license plate if the fob is in your pocket or hands. The fob can only be opened for battery replacement so many times (not many) before the fob falls apart. Likewise the doors - walk up and just pull on the handle to open. Walk away and it locks, as you can personalize this deep in the many menus. The Only time I use the fob buttons is to start the engine from afar on a cold or hot day, to cool or warm the interior.

I respect your channel and efforts but your knowledge of the vehicle and research is lacking. The STS-V was better in almost every aspect than the Generation 1 CTS-V that was produced during its run from 06-09. It was a large executive sport sedan for chewing up highway miles without being a stuffy Deville/DTS. The second Generation CTS-V from 09-14/15 check a lot of the same boxes and the STS-V was discontinued. Only approximately 2500 STS-V’s were produced. They are very rare with only 92 in 09. My 2008 has 300k on the odometer! Fabulous cars and engines. 💯💯

Remember that the target buyer purchases S55’s and 750’s and S8’s so there are buyers for 400+ hp Uber sedans. The problem that Cadillac had was a legacy of poor quality from the late 70’s until the mid 2010’s and cheap (read parts bin) switch gear. Bob Lutz said it best: “we spend a lot of money on our interiors, it just doesn’t look like it!”

What’s crazy is it’s such a low production number car. Only around 2500 made and you can pick them up for pretty cheap compared to other v models.

GM had been cancelling sedans in favor of crossovers/SUVs

Whenever GM finally gets something right, they immediately kill it. The CT4, CT5, and CT6 are good cars. If GM upgraded the interior materials they could better compete with the Germans. The Germans, Japanese, and Koreans must know a thing or two about the sedan market because they're introducing new sedans to fill the space left by the American carmakers' discontinuations.

If you want to know more about how this car came about check out the 2005 Cadillac STS SAE 100. There are several advancements that were on that car that came out much later. The Supercharged LS motor is what should have gone into the STS-V but Cadillac wanted the SC Northstar motor to make it an "ALL Cadillac" vehicle. P.S. I'm PGA2B on all the Cadillac Forums.

The Northstar is the point that makes it special in both ways: Loves to rev, sounds unique but its hard to get parts for. What a shame that the SAE100 stayed only a concept car. Was a good proof how far the cadillac division was in 2005.

Aye buddy, ya forgot about the boost Gauge, the center screen that can move up or down, the av color set ups so you can hook up a game system or something or the main screen …. You can change the color of the main bezel screen ….. change the sound in the car to make it like surround sound or just for the driver. The interior i believe had its styling made by the people do who maybach And I’m deff missing something else.
