There’s one on my local Autotrader for $27k Canadian. Do you think the car is worth that much?

If it’s got super low miles then yes.

*checks currency rate*

Yep.

Do you feel old but young at heart? Does it feel more surprisingly quick or surprisingly not slow?

Made any pulls yet?

Can you hear supercharger?

How is the interior holding up?

On a scale of 1 to Amazeballs, how does that Northstar sound?

I forget the STS-V existed until this was posted.

How does it compare to the 3.6 STS? I quite like them.

Considering getting one, so tell me everything. How is interior quality and ride?

It’s about as quick as I thought it was. That’s as experienced from the passenger seat.

How many rattles are there?

Nothing crazy.

All the time. But the pulley is upgraded so that might have something to do with it.

The interior is superb.

One a scale of one to amaze balls, I’d go with awesome sauce.

The blower whine is stupendous.

It’s a pretty great car.

I’ve never ridden in a more sedate STS, but based on this one, I wouldn’t turn my nose up to the 3.6.

I’ve been in a lot of cars, none of them were Bentley or Rolls, but a few BMW’s and the occasional Merc or Audi. This is one of the better interiors I’ve seen/felt.

Smells like a saddle when you get in. Top notch materials everywhere.

The ride is comfortable but on the firmer side for a Cadillac. I guess it’s clear they wanted to make a sports sedan.

Were I in the market for a full sized sports sedan, this would probably be at the top of my list. Only downside is that parts are not easy to come by. They only made like 2500 of these.

Not enough that it got my attention away from the leather and the blower whine.

Ok thank you.

How many times has the engine asploded?

No full on ‘splosions. The harmonic balancer apparently broke off the crank so he had to fix that, which would have been a nightmare for me, but he used to be a GM tech.

Did you honestly just say a 2000's GM interior was “top notch”?!?!?

I did.
