Cadillac STS-V opinions

[ngc414]

I have been looking at cars since I am getting rid of my truck. I was leaning toward either a jeep srt-8 or a used sts-V. I test drove a 2007 STS-V today a local dealer has for a good price.

I got lucky and no dealer rode with me on the test drive. I was very surprised with how well the car handled and the power was more than expected. the 469hp actually felt like 469hp.

I am 80% sure I am going to buy it, but my biggest concern is depenadbility since I plan to keep this car for a while. Does anyone have one or know much about them?

Thanks

The Northstars were junk. Not sure if Cadillac has improved them. They are probably still junk. Trade it in before you hit 50k.

The CTSV uses the LS engine.

He's asking about an STS-V, though, which uses a supercharged Northstar.

I'm with you, he should definitely buy a CTS-V instead. :biggrin:

I had to edit my previous post. I thought it was CTS also.

Not much size difference between an S and a C. I thought my wifes STS was a CTS! Go for the CTS....more power! Caddy is closing down the performance division though, so any of the V's may end up a collecter someday.
