Road Test

Our tested V6-powered Cadillac STS was very quick and responsive. The well-calibrated suspension and steering provide agility and a supple, controlled ride, which makes it fun to drive. The cabin is quiet, and the interior trim and assembly represented Cadillac's best effort during that period, though material quality is not as luxurious as the leaders in the class. We found rear-seat room relatively tight.
