2005 Cadillac STS V8 Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

- In this video I give a full in depth tour of a 2005 Cadillac STS V8. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
Cadillac recently discontinued this model so they could combine some of it's features with the DTS....... would that make it an STD?
@Xziau1 Northstars are not bad. Just need to be taken care of like any other car. All 01+ Northstar engines are pretty solid. They are not as hard to work on as other people make them out to be. Nobody should own a car without some general knowledge of the engine they have. Mine has over 150k Miles on it and still running strong.
its amazing how high the northstar revs the red line is at 6400 rpm thats nuts for a v8.
Right?
I know this was a decade ago but i think this is a great example of technology moving forward cause now the gt350’s 5.2 flatplane revs to 8200 soon we’re gonna have a V8 revving to 11k or something crazy 🔥💯🤘
@@md2628 flatplane V8 rev higher than crossplane V8 for example Ferrari V8 can go to 9000rpm. Insane rpm for V8
That’s why the north stars blow up
@@Matty_icee55They don't blow up if stock. Never ever 😅 Normal maintenance, waiting that oil temperature increase etc. & you are good to go.
This are also the improved Northstar's from 2005.
No issue anymore with the bolts that are to short & the bad head gasket. So your good to go.
Northstar's are fine engines, you just have to watch your oil and coolant levels. I drove a 96 Northstar till 2010
indeed they are
califdad4 ya, my dad’s 05 Deville has the 4.6L the engine naturally eats oil, we feed her oil once every two weeks or so
Furqan I meant to say 4.6, oops
I'm about to buy this exact year and can't wait!!!!
TheRagefallout same
Any problems yet ?
I want to get one of these so bad, hopefully this year.
I have one it’s awesome
Another awesome video man. I have a cousin that just bought one of those in black and it's a nice car but again great video.
very cool. I'm looking at a 2007 Cadillac STS V8 that's a lot like this one at Carmax, and your video really helped out with my decision. Thanks!
i knew someone who had a 2004 we did 80 in it it was amazing! black on black
@sbessette91 the smoothness of the ride PLUS the surround-sound audio makes up for any flash. It's a clean look that impresses others male & female.
Featuring the Northstar multi valve engine promising the power to rule the universe. Cadillac was really pushing hard to be chosen over its Asian and European competition. If anything this generation gave up-and-comers like Lexus and Infinity a battle to stay relevant. Cadillacs style was really taking on a distinctive shape in the new millennium. No other automaker would be fitting to imitate the STS. During this era Cadillac’s price tag became larger and was the biggest separator between them and their only domestic luxury competitor; Lincoln.
Always thought this generation of STS looked kind of spartan considering their price tag. Similar year Lexus models look lavish by comparison. Even the older STS had what looked like a more appointed interior than these. It's even more pronounced with the STS-V, huge price tag and all the extra money went solely into the drivetrain and didn't add anything to make the interior more upscale.
Shintsu2 interior still looks nice as hell doe
i Agree somewhat....the Design is Clean and Relatively uncluttered but at the same time it looks uninspired.....the Prior Seville SLS/STS the interior design of that generation was CLEARLY influenced by imports.....just look at the overall design of that interior, but with specific focus on the Electroluminescent Gauge Cluster, and Switch gear....especially the Radio/Climate Control...
Not all cars are meant to be the same.
@@form109 I agree. The 1998-2004 Seville is one of the most underappreciated cars ever.
@Matthew55904 It's an in-dash 6 disc changer and the second slot is for the DVD based Nav system.
The beep that came on when you started the car scared the shit outta me XD
The song on the radio at 5:40 sounds pretty freaking aswsome just like the car
You should do one of the STS-V edition..
I really miss your full test drives, Kyle... this would have been a good one for that!
Getting one this saturday. ;D
how do you like it?
Haha I love how the bong went off when he opened the hood. Jeremy Clarkson did a great demonstration of how everything "bongs" in this car.
this car was kinda advanced for 2005
I am looking at a Cadillac STS right now. It looks exactly like this! Great video! I just wish you would have drove the vehicle. :)
Beautiful i like it
Great Car!
God I love these(: Interior isn't as flashy as I would like though
I really think that they did a good job for a Seville successor.
very nice car, and if you ask my, i think it's better than the new xts!!!!!!
nice colour
the 2005-present Cadillac STS is assembled in
Lansing, Michigan, United States
Shanghai, China
Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia
Im planning on buying a 05 sts v8 with 190,000 miles on it. The deal says it been very well taken care of 2 owners. An the previous owner was a clemts cadillac mechanic they owned an did all the work on it. Should I buy it or not?
If its cheap as fuck yeah go for it but do some research on edmunds first.
that is a nice car
Not a big fam of Gm products but i gotta say remote start that cought my attention and this puppy is loaded as from what isee lol
our infiniti has the same type of audio interface (because it has the upgraded version of that sound system) BUT i really want the bass clef symbol for bass....i think thats so cool!!
It was at this time when Cadillac finally smartened up and started using a 6spd transmission to better bring out the silky smooth Northstar's power.
These use a 5 speed.
Great video as always Kyle! What a beautiful STS!
Is that car RWD?
Yes , thanks Kyle I have been waiting for this video. I love Cadillacs, and have owned more than the law should allow, ha ha.I do love the color, sorry DOWNSOUTHHG,lol. Keep up the great work, now i am off to watch another video Ihave been waiting on, the Lincoln limo. Bring on all the Limos you can find,lol, you just rock the best.
@banstaman I own one of these and you are VERY right.
As u noted the back seat is not roomy! Very UnCadillac! They have 2 bring back the room and still retain the performance edge! The Escalade of course is the best interpretation of yesteryear which is my fav :)
This is gonna be my first car, i can just amazing driving it 😇
Have a review?
very nice car this, grear colour and interior wood trim too, and it makes a decent noise aswell
seriously considering selling my 2008 toyota tacoma trd with 85000km's and buying a 2007 one of these with only 49000km's. good or bad decision? It's going to be through a dealership so there will be warranty on it (I would assume) and asking is about $17000. I could get a relatively easy $20000 out of my toyota even though it's not worth that as toyota tacomas are in relatively high demand where I live. any feedback would be much appreciated.
The caddy takes a higher octane gas and gets not that great mileage but if your looking for improved handling and power go for it.
I know I'm late.. But if you hadn't already , I would say go for it..but try to find a 09 on down..anything made after 2010 is Chinese crap.. Wiki and lac forums will prove this. I have an 09 4.6 sts.. Its like driving a crazy demon while sitting in a living room. Lol. Good luck.
Haha yup just a little too late. I suggested the idea to my folks (they despise gm vehicles) and they were so annoyed with the idea that they chipped in and helped me get a holdover from 2012 chrysler 300s awd 5.7 for a ridiculously good deal. I'm just paying them for it for dirt cheap 0% interest payments. Would've went for the caddy if my parents wouldn't have been willing to help at all though
Tanner Greenwald lol!! Good deal man..allgood. Just keep an eye out on those Detroit motors.. Bad ass car BTW..they look really good .
Yeah that and the s is like the minority of the 300's. I don't count srt8s cause they're a little more specialty. That and it seems to be the last true front engine rear drive luxury v8 sedan. Cadillac has really turned into a luxury sports car company since dropping the sts
They discontinued the STS/DTS and combined them into the XTS...
this looks better than the current car imo. can you do the cts coupe.
I have the v6 and it does not save on gas or either has a very small tank.
The 2007-2014 Cadillac Escalade had the 2005 Cadillac STS center stack or radio controls. I wonder why General Motors choose the STS radio infotainment center to place in the Cadillac Escalade. And I mean they are identical to a tee.
Hey Kyle my dad might be buying me his friends car for my first car and I was wondering if you could do an Oldsmobile Alero please? I need to see it to see if I like it enough for it to be my first car.
I find the interiors on these Seville’s to be extremely bland compared to the model Seville that preceded them
These aren't real Sevilles . Completely different platform.
These were s lot of gm cars at the time
@scottwalper its true .. im not a fan of any 6 but they truely pushed it to its limits. i have a 06 dts vin 9 and i drove a v6 sts not too long ago and it does the job quite well and like you said saves on gas lol
the transmission of the 2005-2011 (US) 2007-present (China) Cadillac STS/ Cadillac SLS (China)
Transmission
5-speed automatic
6-speed automatic
dual HID lights..sweet
on the steering wheel there are four buttons. The second one in from the left has 2 functions. Calling and what is the other one on the bottom of the button?
i live the navi and all that nice car
I see an '08 in excellent condition with 149K and only $3000
The sad thing is I still think today in 2015 the STS is a better car than the current XTS that replaced it. However since the recent CTS grew in size (now the 2016 version measures similar to the STS) I guess that's acceptable. Perhaps Cadillac still wants a car to appeal to the 'old buyers' who like the comfort & large size offered by a big FWD car.
The XTS is front wheel drive and I'm pretty sure replaced the DTS or at least a placeholder replacement for it. The STS was replaced by the current gen CTS because it grew in size to make room for the compact ATS.
*****
Perhaps today that is true but in 2005 the CTS and STS lived side-by-side but the STS sat above it in length & width.
Trades46 Hell today at the tail end of 2016 I still like the STS and the DTS (yes. the sharply styled DeVille-derived 06-11 DTS) much better than the XTS and even the CT6. It was just something about those Caddy's that just spelled out old school American luxury that I love, and that ain't a bad thing. But that's something that is all but dead now.
@@hakeemsd70m Even though you all never owned the CT6 to really compare it.
i kno its sorta mch for a first car but eff that im getting it!!
yourgirls milkman how was it
Why do you never let the sunroof open all the way?
Service airbag? ;)
My father has the 2008 in sea foam green minus the satnav and the V6.
hi do you have a review for the maybach 62 ??
Im not sure about this, but i saw a 98 de ville northstar for sale today and it had 305hp.. so i guess this engine got the same hp/nm
I saw an 07 with only 75,000 miles and was less than 11 grand
I was surprised how affordable it is chill out bruh
+jaysplace01 I just bought a 05 with 71,000 miles for 6k, really nice car
+Behr L Salvage car?
runhorun nah dude the depreciation on older luxury cars is pretty insane
v6 or v8?
@TheSpritz0 Unfortunately Kyle can't test drive vehicles unless they are at Car Connections Inc (his family's dealership), or occasionally vehicles at All City Auto. Perhaps we'll see more test drives when he is able to spend more time at those dealerships. :)
Believe me, I had a 2008 Cadillac with a Northstar it was a compleat utter nightmare. Though it was always dealer serviced, it had infinitely many problems. My 1993 Cadillac had a 4.9 in it and could have easily smoked that thing in a 0-60, and it only had 200 horse. The Northstar may have been a great engine for other people, but I know I would never have another one.
Why is there 2 cd slots in the dash?
what happend to the airbag????
did GM create the "gauge sweep"?
did it just backfire stock? damn
لاإله إلا الله ❤🥺
i love those i know some sone have ththat car
You should've pressed the button that had the voice commands and said "windows down"...lol
@ipodtouchfan221 yes 320 hp
How much is the cost?
I believe it is an audio mute button for the radio.
the engine on the 2005-2011 (US) 2007-present (China) Cadillac STS/
Cadillac SLS (China)
Engine
3.6 L LY7 V6
4.4 L V8

I have a silver one with gray interior
heyyyy where is the kia sportage dude i would like to see it
I might consider one. Anyone here recommend or not recommend it?
Ok for that music tho....Ayyyyeee..lol
This use to be my cousins car this is going to be my first car
would this car beat a cts 3.6 in a drag race ar like a 300c .somebodylet me know their nothing on youtube
@scottwalper fuck yea !!!
im so jealous of this guy i would do anything to test cars, even if i had to pay to do it
What car would you recommend for a collage student. I'm currently looking for a car.
I would recommend an Infiniti. Cheap, sporty, and luxurious. The G35 coupe and sedan are pretty cheap, you can find one for around $10,000
I would recommend a 2008 x3 BMW awesome ride
nah bmw has very expensive repairs
Cj El Jefe well yeah you right I sold my 745li because it was to expensive....the sts is a sexy ass car if you buy it and your young your the shit. but if your in college then I'd recommend an altima?or civic...but because I'm in college I'll tell you my choice;gmc envoy
Loud Thunder Nissan Altima
would this car beat a cts 3.6 in a drag race ar like a 300c .somebodylet me know their nothing on youtube,,and do the rear seats fold down
1:02
@therocker1659 most modern Cadillacs have that
@saabkyle04 Youre right. Just more stuff for people to complain about...
Sorry about the typo I just meant it will be amazing to drive it 😂
Need to service the air bag................. Just sayin
+bradys106 might be just a sensor
+detroitone That would be servicing the system to check sensors....LOL
Yet another vehicle with low gas, why is that. lol.
I always ask that in your videos. =(
I love the STS, I might like the V6 models more though due to its efficiency. I want one in AWD. =)
how much u selling that for
Cynthia Samuel he doesn't sell cars
@MrPS3Wii ew your right sounds old school like from a mid 90's Buick
do i hear music 2:42
@miguel3079 i think he hates kia, i wanna see the revamped sedona and sorento
I think the dhs 2004 model looks less sporty and more classy. Also open in thr middle without the stupid center console
heated steering wheel? what? xD
Still fancier than any new toyota.
It kinda looks 90s in the rear
wheres the e-brake on this car? is it electronic?
@saabkyle04 Kyle, I was just joking.....
