Our Take
What's Hot
• Significant improvement over 1992-1997 STS
• Loaded with convenience and technology
• 2000-2003 models content with regular fuel

What's Not
• Front drive limits true sport-sedan character
• Four-speed auto lags five-speed competitive set
• Spotty workmanship

Don't Miss
MagneRide variable damping on late 2002 and 2003 models masterfully manages pitch, roll, and rebound

Bottom Line
Remains one of the most rewarding-to-drive Cadillacs ever, a powerful and nimble gadget-lover's dream--as long as it's under warranty
