Picked up a new daily driver. 2008 Caddy STS-V never titled and sold as new. It was demo driven by a dealership owner for 3900 miles. Got a great deal on it. Rides and drives awesome. The 469 hp isn't too bad either.:)

Haha, I don't think so. Its funny, I wasn't even looking to buy one of these when I posted that video. I traded in our Yukon for it.

My impressions after the first couple of days with the car.


1. Very roomy for a sedan. Carries 5 quite comfortably.
2. Decent power. Cadillac claims 469hp. It doesn't feel like a sports car killer but it's pretty quick for a big car. The roots style blower makes tons of torque. With traction control off and manually shifting the auto trans its quite fun.
3. Handles really well for a car its size. Very little body roll in the corners.
4. Excellent braking. Brembo on the corners with 14" rotors get the job done.
5. Truck space is abundant. I could easily carry 4 sets of golf clubs in the trunk of this thing.
6. Gizmo's galore. This car has every gadget know to man. Alerts if you cross either stripe in your lane, blind spot warnings, auto bright/dim headlights, keyless entry, pushbutton starts, nav, bluetooth, voice commands, etc.....


The only thing I would do differently is some chrome or polished wheels. Cadillac went with a painted wheel. And I hope I never have to pay for electronics repairs on this car.



Overall, heck of a car. Me likey.
