2005 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

Review

right, there are 2 pacakges you definitely need to add in addtional to the bare-bone base model (V6 RWD). 1. luxury package . (Not lux-performance pkg, which is a hoax and buy you nothing more than more cost of gasoline...) 2. After market: wood-view package. the reason is that the original design of SRX's central panel is a bit blackish, and the added flavor of wood trim will make the interior 200% more gorgeous, classic and impressive. Beyond these 2 packages, the Caddy SRX seats are just as comfortable as any mercedes. The acceleration is the best in the bunch as compared with Porsche Cayenne or X5.

Favorite Features

The best feature so far we have explored with the SRX is the on-board computer, which allows you to customize almost anything (the behavior and features of the vehicle), you will be truly surprised how many things you can do with the computer :-D I'm an engineer, and a good one. If I like it, you will, too.

Suggested Improvements

Well, if Cadillac improve something, it gotta be the wood-view optional pacakge ;) Besides, 1. the vehicle is too long (194.9 inches which is about 4.95m), it's very long for a mid-size lux SUV... 2. the side mirrors are way too huge, shrink them please...

Review

After test driving several, very uncomfortable SUV's, I got in the SRX, accelerated, and drove off the lot the very same day!

Favorite Features

I was searching for AWD with a third row seat that would accommodate "little" ones when necessary. My favorite feature is the third row seat opening and closing with the push of a button. The headrests are also conveniently placed when not in use and there is ample room for storage!

Suggested Improvements

No improvements needed!

The SRX Experience

Review

I was one of the first to own an SRX in my area. There were many people asking me what type of car I had. It was a pleasure telling them it was an SRX. I fell extremly safe within this vehicle.

Favorite Features

I enjoy the on board computer. It notified me I had low tire pressure in one of my tires. It turned out I had a nail in one of the tires.

Suggested Improvements

Yhe doors open too wide for the driver. When exiting from the front of the vehicle the space between the seat and the outside is very large.

Review

With the new spring package, they have redesigned the SRX into one of the most pratical and enjoyable 6 cylinder autos I've ever driven. The SRX is spunky, fun to drive and great handling. Consider this a rave review.

Favorite Features

Handling, drives like an El Dorado with Corvette speed

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage. I get 19.3 road. My 98 Concore got 23 w/8 cylinders.

drives great, looks great

Favorite Features

style is different from rest of the pack

Suggested Improvements

not easy to get to 3rd row seat, 2nd row seats could be more comfortable, dash finishes still look cheap for price of this car, overall a bit pricey for what you get.

Review

Acquired this V6-SRX-RWD in June for my wife. I'm "breaking it in" for her; But, truth be told,I can't part with it. The 5-speed auto SNAPs off the shifts with precision if I need to get on it. The V6's variable valve timing pumps torque right out of the chute and hits 255 ft/lbs around 2800RPM. Feels like my Mustang-GT. And it can run nicely on regular gas. Build quality is excellent! Seams are all in alignment: no gaps. Excellent seats and power adjustments. Stock stereo rocks. Handling and ride really surprised me. Much better than any GM product I've been around. European feel. Only 3800 miles so far but only one problem. Cadillac has a software bug: the two trip meters zero out

Favorite Features

I'm crazy about the styling. This is a design that has UNITED STATES OF AMERICA written all over it. Finally, something that betters those beemers and benzes in style. The 5-speed auto/V6 combination is to be savored. Oh sure, there are better combinations out there, but under 50K this is tops.

Suggested Improvements

Brighter daytime display on the Drivers Information Center.
