A full-size luxury sedan, the 2008 Cadillac STS has a legacy that extends back
to its flagship ancestor, the Cadillac Seville. While the STS is offered in
three trim levels, the Performance, Luxury, and Platinum editions, most owners
choose the rear-wheel-drive 3.6 L V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic
transmission. An AWD 4.6Liter 320hp Northstar V8 is available for more
performance-oriented owners.
With all of its great standard features, the 2008 Cadillac STS competes well
with its European and Japanese stablemates. A 300 Watt Bose audio unit with MP3
adaptor, rich natural trim, alloy finish edging on the center instrument array
attest to the effort that Cadillac has put into crafting a fine luxury
automobile. The STS lacks little in the eyes of its owners, but if the
inclination arises, you could opt for a heads-up driver information display, or
a navigation system.
Technology is a key feature for Cadillac, and the STS employs it in safety
features such as a lane drift alert system, a blind spot compensation system,
and a more comprehensive skid control system. With the new Cadillac STS Platinum
Series, more attention than ever is paid to craftsmanship and quality materials
used in the interior. However you drive the STS, its ride, acceleration, and
stability are hard to beat. Enjoy all that the road has to offer without
appreciable sway, road noise, or difficulty in handling.
2008 Cadillac STS has new exterior features that emulate the Escalade in its
large size chrome grille and vertical headlights. You can opt for 18-inch wheels
or stick with the 17s. Overall, the STS is a well- engineered automobile that
has evolved into a technologically sophisticated, sensible luxury sedan. |
