2004 Cadillac SRX AWD 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
Review
I have been lucky enough to have an SRX for the past 2 years. I have 4 children, so my choice for a vehicle is limited by the "seats=6" factor. I have a Chrysler Town & Country that's great for a minivan, but completely not fun. I spend over 4 hours a day in the SRX and it is fantastic. It has become difficult for me to get comfortable in other vehicles. For a V6, it does everything I ask it to do quickly and quietly. A yound woman co- worker who was riding in the car actually burst out with a "NICE!" during heavy on-ramp acceleration. The AWD is great as it makes the rear slide a tiny bit in cornering so there is no understeer. Test drive one and you'll never buy a Toyota!
Favorite Features
The sunroof feels almost like a convertible (like the old T-Tops). The seats are fantastic. I have people who prefer the second-row because of how much room it has and how there is no dashboard in the way (I'm 6'4" so my seat is all the way back, too). I love the 2nd row DVD especially the IR headsets (needs monitor for the 3rd row).
Suggested Improvements
It absolutely needs a POWER lift-gate. The floor mats move around (one of those hooks to hold them in place would be great). I'd prefer the roof rails to be hidden when not in use, like the with the VW Touareg. Goofy: I spend $44,000 on the car, and they want to charge me $95 for mud flaps, and $149 for the roof cross-beams.

Review
The Cadillac SRX is an awesome car, SUV whatever. It is very comfortable and is a great on road vehicle.
Favorite Features
Everything. The seats are excellent with lots of front leg room. The ride is great and handles very well in the mountains.
Suggested Improvements
Add more CD storage and some rear hidden compartments.

2004 Cadillac SRX AWD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)
Review
I had just about given up on American cars until I found the Cadillac SRX. Being a picky person with many ideal features I never thought I would find the perfect vehicle. I wanted performance, luxury, and utility plus 7 seats to tote around kids and their friends. Living in a hilly NY area, I needed AWD too. Until the SRX, this combination just did not exist. I was a little weary about American cars, I decided to test drive it and fell in love. The power is just unbelievable and the quality is top notch. It feels so solid compared to our Volvo S60 - they are not in the same league at all. I drive it hard and it responds. I just have a blast and there is plenty of luxury to boot. It handles like a sports sedan.
Favorite Features
The acceleration, handling, and ride are perfect - taught yet luxurious. I'm not sure how they pulled it off! this vehicle is great in snow. I love the fact that it has room for 7. It is a little tight but great for kids in back. I enjoy the luxury appointments. It's just plain fun to drive!
Suggested Improvements
I would love a power lift gate, side curtain airbags for 3rd row, and an iPod connection.

2004 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
Review
My wife has experienced a leg cramp problem when driving our Cadillac SRX for more than one hour. Recently, we went to view the 2006 SRX to look for some kind of improved seat design and saw no change. The salesperson even told us that someone just last week had to return a 2006 SRX with only 1,500 miles because of the same problem. We will not be buying a new SRX as our next car.

Review
I had a 1999 Mercury SUV that had been in a bad accident. The Cadillac dealer was right next to the Mercury dealer so I told my wife, "let's check out the SRX." We checked out the dealership and this SRX was in the showroom, the exact color I like. I test drove it and bought it the same night. I never looked at another car. It's been great. It has a good ride, good gas milage, and I've never had a problem with it. I would reccommend it to anyone looking for that kind of vehicle.
Favorite Features
The 3rd seat, sunroof, ride, handling, and looks.
Suggested Improvements
The visability could be improved.
Wouldn't Buy Again

2004 Cadillac SRX AWD 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
Review
There is limited rear visibility due to the head rests in the back. of my 2004 Cadillac SRX. This has always been a problem. The panarama roof is rattling like crazy. The rear light popped off when the car was brand new. They said this was due to the heat of the sun. Also, back hatch bent. When this happened and the car had to be in the shop for some time. The paint was never the same. There has been two more recalls since then. Lastly, the finish on the stereo is peeling. I am having too much trouble with my SRX for a brand new luxury car.
Favorite Features
The seating in the front is wonderful especially the lumbar support. It has a comfortable ride.
Suggested Improvements
Add a bigger console in the middle. There's nowhere to put anything. This makes the front seat cramped. Give it better visibility. Oh, and the peddles are built for a small woman. I'm 5'7" and the peddles are close together.

2004 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)
Review
We traded a 1999 Cadillac DeVille for our 2004 Cadillac SRX. This is a whole different Cadillac. It is tight, athletic, and a willing performer. We love the UltraView sliding roof. The car has as much get up and go as my 2005 Mustang GT. I love the leather and wood trim. My boys love the DVD system and 3rd row seat. I also am enjoying the awesome premium Bose stereo system and of coure OnStar. This is an excellent vehicle!
Favorite Features
I love the handling, color (light green), sliding roof, OnStar, 6 airbags, top of the line Bose stereo, and Nortstar V8 engine.
Suggested Improvements
More wood on the dash and door trim.
Great looking and fun to drive.

Review
We purchased our Cadillac SRX one and a half years ago. We have thoroughly enjoyed the car with no complaints. It is wonderful on trips. It is very comfortable and is an excellent driving vechicle.
Favorite Features
The UltraView sun roof and OnStar.
Suggested Improvements
The instrument panel needs to be larger. It is hard to read at times.

2004 Cadillac SRX AWD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)
Review
Two months ago I bought 2004 Cadillac SRX V8 AWD with 14,000 miles for $27,500 - a very good deal. This is basically the price of new Toyota Highlander, Ford Freestyle, or Chrysler Pacifica! I added a Certified Pre-Owned package (with 2.9%APR). This is a very good vehicle, but it is not without glitches. I had the rear wheel hub replaced. There is corrosion at the rear roof rack pillars. Also, there is some vibration from the engine at 1,500 RPM. But overall I am happy with the vehicle.
Favorite Features
The V8 engine, AWD, handling, comfort, hands-free phone, and style.
Suggested Improvements
Give it better fuel economy (displacement on demand, direct injection), and add tilt/telescope steering wheel with memory and separate 3rd row seats.

Review
My Cadillac SRX is the best car that I've ever had for the instant go power. It accomdates the get up & go that I love to have. With all wheel drive and traction control combined with magnetic suspension the car really sticks to road in those tight curves. So many creature comforts that I can't remember them all. My SRX is the most powerful and fun car that anyone could want.
Favorite Features
320 horsepower, Bose audio, navigation system, power Panorama Roof, 6 disc CD changer, DVD & OnStar.
Suggested Improvements
The seats are not as comfortable as they should be. Needs more padding. My 1996 Impala SS had the best seats and was more comfortable.
