My vehicle highlights are that it is reliable and great on gas. I keep her clean.
I love my Cadillac sts I only had one issue and that was a air condition pump leak in the cab of the car and caused water to short my window wires. Luckily I found a side mechanic and it was a easy and cheap fix thank goodness. Outside of that my car runs well performs great in snow in bad weather. Truly a reliable vehicle.

Drives and rides like your dream car
My 2010 Cadillac STS has been an amazing vehicle. I have driven it for almost 6 years. I get over 24 miles per gallon with highway driving and 20 miles per gallon city driving. The seats are comfortable and having cooling and warming within the seats. The air conditioning in the car has been very reliable. I have only had one mechanical issue with the car. I had the u joint replaced recently. The vehicle handles easily and drives like a dream. The color of the vehicle is silver and looks like new. The interior is in great condition, light gray in color, with no tears or stains. The front windshield only has a small ding. The front headlights and back tail lights are in great condition. The trunk is quite roomy, with an emergency pull available. The tires are fairly new. Each tire has a tire pressure sensor on it. The dash information gives data on gas mileage, oil change, tire pressures, miles remaining on gas tank, battery charge, etc.

Cadillac is the best built American car, in my opinion. Well worth the money for the safety and luxury over the average car.
The Cadillac ahs been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I like the all-wheel drive feature as I feel safer in it than any other car I've had. It only has a 16 gal gas tank and I think 18 gal would have been better.

Fun to drive. It is bright red and always draws comments when we are out about how pretty it is.
It is a premium car. The ride is smooth and comfortable. It has heated seats, a heated steering wheel, backup sensors and you can preset your foot pedal settings so that when a different person drives you push a button and you are set to go. It is a beautiful car.

Cadillac STS Landau Roof V8 4dr Sedan with auto seat adjust & personal greeting.
My 2010 Cadillac STS 4 door sedan is silver with a black landau roof. It has a leather interior and all features available for this model: sunroof, power mirrors that adjust with backing up, keyless fob with remote start, Bose audio sound system, heated and cooled seats in front; automatic transmission with optional AWD, automatic lights and intermittent windshield wipers and headlight washers, fog lights and On STAR. The gas mileage averages to 17 mpg with suburban driving. The car is much sportier than my previous Deville. It handles curves well, with a tight turning radius for the size. Because the car is built lower to the ground, you can feel the road while driving. The leg room is comfortable in both front and back seating . One point to make that is a negative for me is the trunk size. My previous cadillac had easily twice the space. While driving, the V8 is especially effective for highway higher speed acceleration. The repair costs have been low- only needing regular maintenance of oil changes, new tires and alignment.

Fast luxury car that will turn heads
It's a gorgeous car that tends to get people's attention, with an array of 'luxury' components. It's very fast as it is a v8, but only gets about 15mpg. Maintenance is also very pricey since Cadillac has certain tune-ups it has to have done, and having to use premium fuel adds up. Not much trunk space.

It has a really nice accelerator
I actually have not had any issues. My family has just outgrown the vehicle. I have actually been very pleased with my vehicle's performance. I would undoubtedly, if given the choice again, chose a Cadillac. In spite of the age of The vehicle, it also gets excellent gas mileage.

Has a lot of good features.
I like that it is good on gas and has a big trunk for shopping or travel. I dislike it is expensive to fix the parts are more expensive than other vehicles I also do not like that it is an older car I want a newer car same make.

Is The 2010 Cadillac STS A Good Car?

Yes, it is a dependable car, drives and rides smoothly. I get good gas mileage. The air conditioner works wonderfully well. The engine runs quietly and purrs like a kitten. The engine is large enough... Read More

How Reliable Is The 2010 Cadillac STS?

It is very reliable. I have had the a/c clogged and one other repair work done to it. I have the oil changed regularly. Everything works.

Is The 2010 Cadillac STS A Good Value?

We bought it used in 2014 with 18,000 miles on it for $18,000. It was a good value, almost new. We bought it from a dealership.
