Pros: What do you like about 2006 Cadillac STS?
The sleek front view has showed true Cadillac design and innovation.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac STS?
The driver seat panel located by the power seat adjustment is poorly configured to seat. The panel around the control knobs moves when you first sit down.

2006 Cadillac STS Review:
I own the 2006 Cadillac STS blackberry in color and truly have come to appreciate the entire car. It is a fantastic ride, and a real head turner.
Three years now and I still love to go for ride. The down side, it is governed out at 160km/hr.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Cadillac STS?
The styling, forward thinking features and yes the price, set Cadillac on the road to recovery, the STS was light years ahead of the utilarian CTS. It set the standard for what the CTS was needed to become. In 2008 the CTS became that, yet the STS was there 3 years prior. It is now to be discontinued, still we must remember its legacy as the chance Cadillac took to be the leader in the international market.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac STS?
The car was intended to be a loss leader, to make a statement that Cadillac was back. It succeded hands down. Sure, there might be some improvements that could be made but it fulfilled its mission, it was an incredibly (and still is) gorgeous car, well ahead of its or the lowly CTS's time.

2006 Cadillac STS Review:
I have enjoyed this car for a few years, yet unlike some other relationships I have been in I still look forward to seeing it and driving it, each and every day! I own other "classic" vehicles yet am happy to find my day to day driving satisfaction in my STS.

Ride, looks, interior,A great driver's car even with 3.6 V6. Bought car used and saved thousands of dollars off new car price.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac STS?
My only con is glove box to small and hard to access.

2006 Cadillac STS Review:
Would recommend a Cadillac as a car of quality for the money,why buy a toyota or honda for the same price (which are both nice cars ) it's just American cars have a plusher interior. And this car is fun to drive

I didn't like the hump in the floorboard in the back, it makes it uncomfortable for the middle person. The trunk opening is not big enough.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Cadillac STS?
It's roomy but still sporty. The ride is so quiet and smooth. I'm always surprised when I realize I'm speeding! 15 to 20 over and you don't even realize it.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac STS?
Make it front wheel drive, the rear wheel drive is terrible on Michigan winter roads. It gets stuck in 6 inches of snow!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac STS?
The seats can be more comfortable for a woman, as the seat is a little too long, and hits the back of my legs. The styling could have been other than a larger CTS.

2006 Cadillac STS Review:
I am not embarrassed to be behind the wheel of this powerful, technolgically advanced Cadillac. I personally have a Jaguar and Mercedes, and only went foreign in 1996, as I tried to give my business to the American manufacturer. This car is fabulous! The features are great. They could have made the exterior different than the CTS. I think of it as a larger CTS, which is a mistake, and a bit masculine.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Cadillac STS?
The keyless ignition and entrance ease is fun and very convenient. Memory seats and other setting also are efficient and effortless.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac STS?
The gold/yellow readout on the radio, dashboard, etc. are unattractive to my eye. The cool green graphics on my 1999 model were much better. Glove box is too small. Some of the setting process for various features is a little too complicated.

2006 Cadillac STS Review:
This is my favorite STS so far. It's the third one I've owned. It handles responsively with a European tight suspension, not as mushy as the DeVille.

Improve operation of the mirror tilt-down in reverse.

2006 Cadillac STS Review:
After 3 Lexus models in a row, I decided on an STS. It was the best auto choice I've made in years. Better dealership, better cost, and a far superior car. Much more fun to drive and far superior in design of features.
