Replying to: mediapusher (Apr 05, 2007 2:44 pm) Be careful! I own an '07 Lexus 460L w/Touring Package and am having quality problems. Also, the park-o-matic option is a fraud; Lexus HQ will not support it; says its the dealer's responsibility to train the owners. However, no DVD or video is offered similar to their excellent guidance furnished for the navigation system. I have owned 4 Lexus in the past 3 years and this is the first one I have had to return for repair; others were flawless. A switch failed and it took 3 days to diagnose/replace it; they seem poorly trained to handle this barrel of snakes management has given them.

Replying to: mediapusher (Apr 05, 2007 2:20 pm) Well, as a BMW owner of the last 20 years I went out and drove a STS, 2007 and took delivery on March 3, 2007. See my review in the review group. I just got back from a 500 mile trip last night, the car handles better than my 5 series and is so comfotaable a ride that it is hard to stay awake. I leased the car for 3 years and since I owned a BMW they gave me an additional 3,000.00 off. In total I got 8,000.00 off and leased the car at 420/month with no money down. The warrenty even covers tires! I must disagree as to the comparison of cars as Cadillac has done a fine job here. Their stabilitrak is great as well as onstar. The base lease price on mine was 37,000.00 after discounts etc, try to get a 5 series to that? It might fall apart but what I see so far is a nice ride. Wayne.

Replying to: mediapusher (Apr 05, 2007 2:44 pm) Hi "mediapusher" I was just like you until I opened my mind and tried the Cadillac. This car has changed so much. The factory manager where the car was built called me 3 days after purchase to see how I liked the car and if anything was wrong. I am convinced GM is making a comeback. Please give them a chance. Drive the car! I know we all have become jaded over the years but look at GM's whole lineup. They are making the adjustments Ford has not. Wayne.

Replying to: BeamerMan (Apr 09, 2007 11:15 am) I think you have a good point. If GM people call you after making a Cadillac purchase, then that really is a good sign of GM changing.   A purchase this high demands special treatment. GM shows us that they are aware of the competition and are doing what they can to ensure the customer that they made the right choice with a GM product.   I sat in an STS and have to tell you, its a fine car. I have recently been in a BMW 5 series and have to tell you that from the outside it looks like a Pontiac or Nissan. Once you get in then you see its an expensive car.   The STS looks good either way. I think the V8 is no longer good enough to compete in the segment but I don't think GM will belike ford and ignore this problem.   If the '09 or '10 STS is any good as the '08 CTS, then Cadillac will really begin to re-establish itself.

Replying to: exalteddragon1 (Apr 14, 2007 10:39 am) Well yesterday I got a email survey of 100 question from GM about the quality and any troubles with the car. I am more and more impressed every day. I think GM gets it. Poor Ford, 3 channel antilocks? My God how behind the times is that. I do not think Ford is going to make it.

Replying to: camry1090 (Mar 31, 2007 2:43 pm) If you tolerated a Camry, you will love an STS!! My 2005 sts has been trouble free and a pleasure to drive in town as well as on the highway. The v6 is more than adequate. The original equipment Michalin tires had a dreadful lack of traction on wet or snowy pavement making winter travel downright dangerous. I took the plunge and had Goodyear Eagle F1 mounted. What an astonishing difference!! Unfortunately I haven't found a buyer for the michalins which have only 13400 miles of use!! Nevertheless the tire change was well worth the price!! Replies to this message: larryg6 (Mar 25, 2009 6:52 am) kqqlv (Apr 12, 2009 6:25 am) mourerj (Sep 25, 2009 12:03 am)
#34 of 50 Used 2006 STS V6 by musicejr Apr 16, 2008 (7:17 pm)
I found a used 2006 STS White Diamond. It has 24k miles on it. They want 25k for it. Carfax report shows that it was a lease with the same owner for 3yrs. It's certifed pre-owned with a 6yr/100,000 mile warranty (from the cars 2006 date)   Anything about the 2006 models that i should know that's a negative?
#35 of 50 Bad Experience by dlovitt Apr 19, 2008 (10:45 am)
I took delivery of my new (2008) STS Friday April 11, 2008. At 200 miles chimes went off and Stability Control and Antilock Brake lights came on and car went into limp mode. We got it into Batchelor Cadillac in San Antonio Saturday (4/12/08) afternoon. On Tuesday they called to say they had fixed it. Worked Ok for the next 198 miles. Today the same problems ocurred. In addition, the transmission would not shift out of second gear and the engine died three times in about six blocks. So I am currently sitting and waiting for my new car with less than 400 miles on it to be towed back to the dealer. I guess I'd better bone up on the Texas Lemon Law!
