2004 Cadillac SRX AWD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

A return to the muscle cars with style, comfort and power. The miles fly be with the Bose stereo system and stability of this car/suv. GM quality is better than the foreign automakers'.

Favorite Features

All wheel drive, Bose, Northstar engine.

Suggested Improvements

Pricey, but worth it.

Best Cadillac Ever Made

2004 Cadillac SRX AWD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

This is my 5th new Cadillac. This car is by far the most fun and pleasent car to drive I have ever owned. I enjoy long trips in it. Everywhere I go people stop and look.

Favorite Features

The smooth power of the V8. Bose radio and ultra sunroof. AWD is great. Ride and handling is the best of any car I have ever owned. Have had for 8 months, and so far trouble free.

Suggested Improvements

For a $55,000 plus vehicle, rain sensative wipers and a little more wood for the interior would be nice. Gas milage not the best. But would not stop me from buying another one in a few years.

Best in Class

2004 Cadillac SRX AWD 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

Review

After comparing the SRX, Acura MDX, Lexus RX 330 and Volvo XC90, we chose the SRX. The interior comfort, ride and handling are outstanding. The second row is the most comfortable available. The engine and drivetrain are outstanding. The Luxury package with it multiple memory personalization settings is great. The Ultraview sunroof is the only way to go. The third row is small but our kids don't mind.

Favorite Features

Ultraview sunroof, memory personalization settings, power adjustable pedals, navigation system, ride and handling, seating comfort (1st and 2nd rows).

Suggested Improvements

Power tailgate, narrower door sills, bluetooth, heated rear seats.

Review

I loved this car when I bought it, but very shortly after came to hate it. Door well width too wide. Has 8400 miles and has been in shop for 41 days. 4 times for oil leak, 2 times for part of engine cylinders not running, currently has a loud noise in front struts and vibrates through front floor. Terrible gas mileage - 11 mpg in city. Seats aren't very comfortable on long trips.

Favorite Features

Navagation system, DVD in rear, 3rd row seat. That's it.

Suggested Improvements

More comfortable seating. Making a car that costs in the luxury car range, more of a luxury.

Fun with Problems

Review

The Cadillac SRX is a good fit for our family of four. It handles and performs well, but the 4-wheel drive is a bit noisy. I had purchased this SRX for the 3rd row seat, performance, safety and driving comfort. My vehicle has had numerous problems. The most significant failure was with the power steering, but the most anoying problems are the numerous electrical issues that includes frequent cases of the battery being dead, 4 to date. Out of 5 months, my SRX has been in the shop about 20 days. Cadillac parts distribution and supply for our area is inadequate. The dealer has had to strip other SRXs for parts.

Favorite Features

AWD and 3rd seat

Suggested Improvements

3rd seat actuation and parts supply and distribution

SRX V6 BY LEAHY

Vehicle

2004 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

Review

THIS SRX HANDLES LIKE A FINE CAR,BUT IS HIGH ENOUGH ABOVE TRAFFIC TO ENABLE DEFENSIVE DRIVING,WHICH IS IMPORTANT IN FLORIDA. THE V6 IS RESPONSIVE AND THE BRAKING IS SECOND TO NONE. I RECEIVE COMPLIMENTS ABOUT THE GOOD LOOKS OF THIS DARK BLUE BEAUTY ON A DAILY BASIS.

Favorite Features

MY FAVORITE FEATURES ARE THE SOLID FEEL OF THE CABIN, THE VERY ADEQUATE ENGINE AND THE FINE BRAKES.

Suggested Improvements

I WANT CADILLAC TO OFFER THE SAT. RADIO ON THEIR V6 MODELS WITHOUT THE NEED TO BUY ALOT OF OTHER UNNEEDED OPTIONS.

SRX Pleasant Surprise

Written by: SRX guy on 11/23/2004

2004 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Job change so I lost a company minivan (we have enjoyed a company car for 15 years) so it takes some getting used forking over $35,000. You do not appreciate the perk until it is gone! We drove all the minivans (some more than once) and decided to give the SRX a spin based on Edmunds readers making it a 'consumer's most wanted'. We are glad we did! More comfortable and stylish and way more fun to drive (I drove a 2005 Cadillac STS recently and when I climbed back into my SRX, I was just as comfortable and sitting higher in the saddle to boot). Lots of power, comfort and a cool TV/DVD player added as an aftermarket make long trips fun for the kids.

Favorite Features

Comfort, good looks, not common like the minivans from Toyota and Honda.

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage around town (getting only about 15-16 mpg with RWD only)

Review

The dealer experience was exceptional! It is a perfect fit for us, most 2 row vehicels to small, full size SUV to big and low mpg.

Favorite Features

xfm and onstar, how will we ever live without them again? the third row sold us!

Suggested Improvements

allow adjustment of third row without motor running and rear heated seats or heating.
