Reliability and Durability of the Cadillac STS: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr Sedan 320-horsepower 4.6L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The car has very few problems. The Northstar engine is built like a trouble-free tank. The few problems it may have in the future, all cars have them, so its not a deal maker or breaker.
2005 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.6L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Only minor problems quickly fixed via warranty.
2005 4dr Sedan 320-horsepower 4.6L V8

Less trips to the dealer to fix problems.

2007 4dr Sedan 320-horsepower 4.6L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Too many trips to the dealer. Love the look and ride. Just wish it was put together better. For $62k, I expected a lot better.
2006 4dr Sedan 254-horsepower 3.6L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Had to lemon law it after less than 2 years. Car had a lot of mechanical problems.
