Hi,folks

first thanks for allowing me to join this great site.
my question is quite simple which vechile is the better buy 2005 CST or STS?

[the cadillac kid]

depends on what you're looking for. two different beasts.

thanks 4 the reply
I guess what I'm wondering is which has the least issues, this is saying both have 3.6 engines.
Either way I droll over the look of both cars.

Have you driven both? If not do that first. I was very close to getting the STS 4.6 AWD but then drove my V and that was it. Regardless of the engine I like the CTS better.

The STS is front drive. I still like the traditional sport car feel with rear drive. But the STS has some cool features like keyless start and Bose in the headrests.

The STS IS RWD too. If they're the same year, I'd choose the STS personally. They're a better built vehicle IMO. I didn't look at the STS because I can't afford one.

EDIT: After looking at pictures of both, I actually do like the looks of the CTS better, and how it's sportier. The STS is more luxury oriented, the CTS is more "sport" oriented. I may have to still choose the CTS over the STS just for that fact. The STS will be quite a bit slower too due to the 400+ pounds it's carrying around that the CTS doesn't have.

The STS is a boat! Gas mileage, my friend, gas mileage.

The one thing I liked about the STS was the pushbutton start.

Isn't that just kind of a gimmick?? I mean what difference does it really make?
