Standard features are plentiful
Forbes Autos

The 2009 Cadillac STS-V impressed reviewers with the amount of standard equipment. With only one trim level, few optional goodies are available, and feature-wise the STS-V runs with some of the world’s top tech-savvy sport sedans.

Forbes Autos calls out these standard features exclusive to the Cadillac 2009 STS-V: "stiffer stabilizer bars and suspension springs, a quicker steering ratio, high-performance brakes, and a performance-tuned chassis, all of which increase the car's cornering abilities without creating an unduly harsh ride." Cars.com joins the fray, detailing the Cadillac 2009 STS-V: "Its special sculpted hood allows space for the engine's supercharger, and its 10-spoke, painted aluminum-alloy wheels are exclusive."

Edmunds lists some of the notable standard features of the 2009 STS-V: "Leather/suede upholstery, heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, power sunroof, navigation system w/voice recognition, rear radio controls, wireless cell phone link, head-up instrument display, heated washer nozzles, automatic-dimming headlights."

For those seeking options, the 2009 STS-V's selection is a bit slim, but there are a few on offer. Among them, buyers can choose to delete the sunroof to save a bit of money.

Conclusion

The well-equipped 2009 Cadillac STS-V is the pinnacle of performance luxury in the Cadillac lineup.

Other Choices:

Both the Mercedes E63 AMG and BMW M5—sedans have better-known reputations than the STS-V—have interiors that feel more opulent and exclusive. But performance-wise in real-world driving, the 2009 Cadillac STS-V competes solidly against both. However, both of those vehicles have what matters more to many buyers—a faster acceleration time. The upcoming Jaguar XFR is another highly expected rival, with a 510-horsepower supercharged V-8 and a host of additional performance equipment.
