do a lot of comparaitve shopping before you buy this car
Detailed review:
I just purchased an 04 with all that you can get except the NAV. Moon roof, sports package, heated everything.. The dealer even put 18 inch STS wheels and new Michelins on this car and installed the rear spoiler which is one of the nicest I have ever seen to compliment the styling of a car. This was a certifed used car so it came with the 100k warranty. It had 45k on it so I have 55k miles to go. I like that - especially for an American made car. The color is the custom red that you pay 1500 extra for and the dealer popped V emblems on it. hmmm. My car is a 3.6 and at first drive is peppy but in no league with a BMW -- more like Toyota. I am disappointed by all the cheesy plastic interior and high pitch transmission whine (hydromatic auto) at idle and slow speeds. Lack of Caddy class in this car just looks like a way for GM to save money. Something inherent in all US made cars. I traded an 01 Jag XKR. I am a certified idiot.
