The Ultimate Sports/Luxury carSource: MSN Autos...It has a lot of power and is great for city and highway driving. I got a great deal on the car I wanted. This is my 3rd Cadillac, and by far my favorite. Cons: There is nothing I really don't like about this vehicle. The trunk and glove box are smaller than on the larger model, the DeVille. Overall: I would would highly recommend this car if you are going to buy in the sport/luxury category. This car comes with all the accesories needed for the ultimate driving experience. You can't go wrong with a Cadillac... |

A keeperSource: MSN Autos
...Pros: Great car. Love the V6 engine, gives me the same performance as an import 3.5, but doesn't need the premium gas. |

STS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!Source: MSN Autos...Controls easy to figure out and XM Radio and Stereo system is top drawer. Cons: Nothing so far. Wish I would have bought this before. Overall: This is not your father's (or grandfathters) Cadillac. This is the finest car I have ever owned. and I have owned 12 since 1975!!! I get great compliments from my co workers who have BMW's Lexus and other high end vehicles. Forget the foreign stuff, Caddy has a winner at a better price and I bought this when it was a year old and got a great value, versus a new car or a used foreign car. My first experiece with Cadillac has been excellent!!!!... |

Why should I also consider these?
With V-6 and V-8 engines and a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, the 2008 Cadillac STS is quite competitive versus the mid-size luxury sedans from Germany and Japan, but it arguably doesn't look or feel as up-to-date as the 5-Series or E-Class inside.
In terms of performance, the base STS has perkier performance than either the E350 or the BMW 528i, though the sweet engine in the new 535i may have it beat.
The E-Class more closely fits a definition of traditional luxury, with a classy appearance, while the 5-Series and M35/M45 feel sportier from behind the wheel.
The Infiniti M models have a surprisingly roomy interior--including a spacious backseat, which is somewhat hard to find in this class--but the ride isn't as settled and road noise can be an issue.
And if you're especially green, you might want to consider the E320 Bluetec diesel, which returns standout highway fuel economy in the mid-30s.
