Cadillac is coming up with new and improved models to entice new drivers along with keeping current ones happy.  There is everything from sporty coupes to large luxury SUVs with the Cadillac badge to appeal to all different needs behind the wheel.  For drivers who enjoy the more “typical” Cadillac design we’ve seen through the years, perhaps the 2011 STS is the sedan for them to drive? 

New Engines

Some STS models in previous years were fitted with V8 engines.  Now, with the 2011 STS, all the engine choices across the trims come with a V6.  We’re not sacrificing power, though, by saying good-bye to V8′s, but saying yes to better gas mileage and V6 engines with plenty of power.  Sounds like a good thing to us.  We even have a few STS models in the Chicago Cadillac used cars inventory found here at Patrick Cadillac.  These models all come with V6′s as part of the powertrain, so you can get a feel for what is standard across the board for 2011.

There are many resasons why you should test drive the STS now.  Here are a few more vehicle highlights from this sedan:

  • Offers a very pleasant driving experience:  Really good pickup, handles very well in different driving conditions, and the steering is top-notch too.
  • Driver and front passenger seating that is very comfortable and roomy
  • Six-Speed Automatic Transmission
  • Auto Climate Control System comes standard
  • Heated Mirrors and heated wood grain steering wheel- can you say very useful during these long and cold Chicago winters!

Another feature found on the newest STS models is the Magnetic Ride Control.  This is a system developed by GM that provides an overall better ride, thanks to magnet-like features that help control the suspension.  This is the system that makes the handling and steering stand out.  It reduces the car’s noise, roll, and harshness resulting in a safer and more enjoyable ride.  For the availability of this feature in other Cadillac models, such as the Chicago SRX, please talk to the staff here at Patrick Cadillac.

The 2011 STS is a powerful and high performing sedan that you should check out now if you want a more traditionally styled Cadillac to cruise around in.
