Auto loans: the 2011 Cadillac STS
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Cadillac STS for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2011 Cadillac STS is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the STS
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
What the specs mean
The engine is the 3.6L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so budget about 34 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $52.08 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 396 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the STS tells you more than any review. Rent the STS first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the STS for a week and see how it fits your life.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
