Hello

I don't buy a new car every day LOL so I want to make a good choice.

I am trying to decide between:
2005 Cadillac STS V6
2005 Jaguar S-Type V6
2005 Volvo S80 2.5 turbo AWD

I very nearly bought the Cadillac last Friday... but then friends said "don't do it!" Then I got Nervous. Funny how the last people you talk to have a disproportionate opinion.

I am concerned about the 95 TSBs on the STS (versus 20 on the Jaguar and S80).

All 3 are from dealers and certified for 100k miles (they each have about 50k now). But a free repair doesn't help me make money. Reliability -- and not every week in the shop for a free repair -- is Very important to me.

I'd appreciate whatever input people care to provide and thank you in advance.

 

Of course everyone here will be pro Jag. I don't honestly know enough about the other two cars to give you an informed opinion. I can strongly base one on prejudice. Go Jag!

 

I can't speak for the volvo. But the sts was on my list when I was testing back in jan. The caddy interior was a bit cheesy for my taste. Too plastic looking and feeling. not as quiet. Not as refined.

JMHO.
