Continues to surprise me with its features and technology!
Owning this car made me feel proud to me an American! For a manufacturer to build anything with this much technology and features synchronized together into a reliable, comfortable, and economical vehicle is truly amazing. We found that if we turned off the vehicle while a cell phone was charging, then later the car would not start. Apparently it scrambled the car's computerized starting system. By disconnecting the battery, jump starting it, and then reconnecting the cables reset the computerized starting system. After 11+ years, my car still looks almost new! Love it!

Handles amazingly in snow.
Very reliable vehicle. Low maintenance on my vehicle. This vehicle gets great gas mileage. My sets has all the bells and whistles and rides really well.

It's luxurious in my view and it fits my style .
I like the features of seats and the OnStar phone attached to it so if I get locked out of my car or if someone tries to steal it my car engine can shut off. I love the ride it's smooth and the room in it is flexible. And I love it and I would recommend it to anyone who would want to buy it

Plenty of room plus economy.
My rogue gets good gas mileage around 22 miles to gallon. It is good in snow and definitely roomy. Also is a 4 door which we like as opposed to a 2 door. Plenty of room in the back seat for car seats for grandkids. Easy to drive as it is an SUV but not a monster but still has plenty of room. Basically trouble free other than tire rotation and obviously oil changes. Plenty of cargo room in the back as seats also fold down. A great vehicle for anyone.

Cadillac STS AWD a Keeper.
My 2009 STS has been faithful as used late model us auto. My performance has continued as advertised by the manufacturer. Many features that were selling points still operate. Heated and cooled seats are beneficial for living in the Midwest climate. Engine performance is powerful without being thirsty at fuel pump. Interior trim pieces are not as durable as previous foreign cars I have owned. I will continue ownership for some more years though.

Beware of repair costs!!!
It's a very nice car. Fully loaded. Way too expensive to fix.
