C5 vs. Cadillac STS

I'm torn between an used C5 and a used STS. Does anyone have both? I would like the STS for the functionality but the Vette for the Babe magnet. I'm 32 and single, and could always buy a caddy, but a vette?????? Any thoughts??

Buy the Vette. The Caddy sucks. Enjoy your youth with the vette. :cheers:

That's sort of what I'm thinking. Buy the Vette. However, I can't use the HOV with the Vette. And Insurance on a Vette as my Primary vehicle vs recreational, not sure what that will do.

Get the Vette dude. You are way too young for a Caddilac IMO.

I have a Vette and then a nice little '95 Civic to beat around in. Try to get as nice a used C5 as possible and then if financially possible look around for an STS for about $10k. You can actually get a decent higher mileage STS for that price. Make sure to get the Northstar motor though. Also, I was under the impression that HOV is two or more people, so the C5 would work.

I had a 1995 STS...I have to say I had nothing but headaches with it. Just bad luck. Electrical problems mostly. Then after the deer...I said nevermind...this car isn't for me.

Nice enough car, but in no way as much fun.
