I purchased some Velcro Industrial Strength. I removed the clip from my garage door opener, used the Velcro and placed the opener under my steering column. The opener is firmly affixed and out the way. Cosmo |

Replying to: sls002 (Jul 05, 2008 8:54 am) I am beginning to think it was meant to be used to snug the tire to the back edge of the trunk using two "D" rings attached to either side of the lip of the trunk. It would have been nice if the manual showed this use. The manual also lacks any description of how the cargo net was intended to be used.

The 6 years I refered to was the low end of the spectrum with the Honda civic.

Replying to: bingoman (Jul 05, 2008 9:16 am) Using the cargo net should be easy to sort out. I did not get one and some sort of net would be useful.

Replying to: sls002 (Jul 05, 2008 11:27 am) As to the cargo net, in the '03 it was a single panel that stretched across the trunk and was anchored at the side top and on the floor, in a vertical position to divide the front from the back. In the '08 it is a "V" shaped pocket anchored at the side top and at the floor just in front of the trunk sill in a sloping position. It appears to be intended to hold things in the pocket rather than to divide the trunk. The change in operation was a bit confusing until I came to understand the lack of a hold down under the side hooking points. |

Its not as popular as expected. There was this huge hype about it when it came out 1st, but its been collecting dust ever since. CTS on the other hand had been quite popular. Also, its easy to find a reasonably equipped CTS while STS usually come almost fully loaded at least. IMO I believe pricing is the one thing that doomed the STS. Its just too expensive. I mean come on, its a cadillac, but GM wants to push the price waayyy too close to BMW and Audi territory. Wait a sec, I think Audi's A6 is even cheaper than a similarly spec'd STS. That said its an incredible deal when youre looking for a used one. A used STS v6 cost almost the same as the equivalent CTS. $25k for a certified 06 STS, about the same as 06 CTS, which will you choose? Duh...
