1989 Cadillac STS | Retro Review

The Cadillac STS got the ball rolling in the right direction, but 40 more HP would've been nice.

I love my 89 Cadillac. Have had it for 16 years now, and given the age I don't know how I have never had any problems with it. It just starts and rides like a dream.

By modern day standards to have a 155 HP 4, 5L V8 is like having a gigantic smartphone without data plan

This is the STS time forgot. 1993 model was what got them on the market watch.

that dashboard makes farm equipment's interior look sleek

1989 Cadillac STS, the official car of “hi sweetheart, how much for a blow?”

[adamlemus]

What European machine did they get their “inspiration” from. A refrigerator?

[mikeharris]

Always loved the exterior look of this car especially in white

*We're getting closer.. come on with that treasure trove of 90's GM gold you guys are sitting on.*

Love the design of these mid to late 80s GM cars.

[SedanChevy]

As someone who's always appreciated the more traditional, large Cadillac boats...I have to admit, these 80s smaller FWD cars are starting to grow on me.

The interior designer only had a t-square

Cadillac actually built and sold 1500 of these STS models in 1988 to favorite customers. They were registered as 1988 models. My mom bought one, and loved it. She had it up until her death in 2020. It was short on leg room, but was fun to drive, and had one of the best interiors of any American made car.

4.5L V8 that **almost** can run with an Acura Legend? Keep in mind in that year, the Legend was a 2.7L 161 hp V6

People crap all over this, but for me this is what I remember of caddys growing up. I quite like it, and remember riding in my uncle’s and feeling like I was floating on a cloud.

I'll take That first 78 seville they showed instead

[sweets]

This is one of my favorite Cadillac body styles wish I could get my hands on one.

[briansmith]

I actually think the styling on this car is quite good, and that's a good stopping distance from 60 even by today's standards. GM may have missed the mark in a few other areas of this Seville, but it was a step in the right direction for Cadillac in my opinion.

These late 80s “mini” Caddies are to this day great looking cars.
Gone was the “boats”

[mr.boostang]

Wow, Lexus had a 255hp 4.0L V8 and Cadillac had a 155hp 4.5L V8

Love these old videos, shows how far we have come.
