2005 Cadillac SRX AWD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)
Review
Highly recommend this vehicle. Handles superbly, fast as a rocket with the V8, great interior room for a tall driver.
Favorite Features
Performance.
Suggested Improvements
Interior has a little too much. Plastic on the sides near the rear which seem cheaper than a Caddy should be.
We love this auto

We were fortunate to get a certified used SRX, loaded, it is so beautiful in every way. Great ride with the AWD and handles beautifully. Love it.

2005 Cadillac SRX AWD 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
Review
I test drove, test drove, and test drove. I drive for work every day, so I wanted to be prepared for the purchase. I also have 4 kids, so I needed at least 6 seats. I looked at every Nissan Minivan & SUV + the Infiniti, Toyota, Mazda, Chrysler, Ford, etc. I wanted at least a V6, 4WD-AWD, 6+ seats, leather interior. This easily brought me into the $30k+ ballpark. I took my first test drive in the SRX right after it was released (V8, etc) and as soon as I nailed it coming off a ramp onto the highway, I was hooked. I also tote folks around for work, so the HUGE back seat was great. Not minivan cavernous, but definitely SUV huge. You'll love it from your first drive.
Favorite Features
Memory seats, mirrors, radio settings, and thermostat. Fold-down third row seat. (Wife loves heated seats.) Power & handling are superb. Off the line pull is fantastic. Not sports cars rough, and not limosine floaty. Tight enough in the corners for fun, soft enough on the back roads to cruise.
Suggested Improvements
Minor tweaks. Fog lamps have a soft button (turns off when ignition is off) vs. rear wiper has a hard button. I would reverse these. I always want my fogs on with my headlights. I turn the rear wiper on when I need it. Rear wiper wash stream runs off the window, a spray would be better.

Review
Buying this SUV was an excellent choice. It is the perfect size, specifically when you have kids (it is not too tall.) The powered third row is a plus! The entertainment system is excellent, specifically the location of the DVD! However, it is noisy. You will hear everything around you even if you have the radio and AC on.
Favorite Features
The third row is a plus. And the entertainment system.
Suggested Improvements
Too noisy. You will feel and hear everything in the street. Rear window should open.

Review
Changed from a Jeep Grand Cherokee to my 2004 Cadillac SRX and what a difference. I had never liked SUV's and now drive the SRX everywhere just for fun. It accelerates well, is great looking, and much better at braking than the Grand Cherokee was. I would recommend it to everyone.
Favorite Features
The looks, the braking.
Suggested Improvements
Allow black leather seats with black exterior color.

Review
The 2005 Cadillac SRX is a lovely car and lots of fun to drive. Do not, however, get the third seat unless you regularly transport children. it is not good for adults, and the alternate, lots of nifty little hampers, is very welcome. Cadillac will practically give you the car if you don't want the sun roof, so think that over. (It's awesome, however, for those that like sun roofs.) After six months, I may have used the navigation system three times, all in the first two weeks. For us, OnStar is a must, and we actually used it in an emergency.
Favorite Features
Storage hampers in the rear.

Review
My 5th new cadillac best yet. This is a 2004, which I now have about 11,000 miles on. Zero problems so far. Rides and handles better than any other Cadillacs I had.
Favorite Features
Sunroof that covers front and 2nd row seats. Fun to drive handles excellent.Very comfortable. Lots of power. V8 is great!
Suggested Improvements
Dash very plain, some extra wood trim would help.

Review
After using the SRX for over 1 year, I still feel very pleased with my decision to buy one. The commodity of getting in and out of the SRX separtes it from most SUV's. On many occasions I have received very possitive comments from people of all ages regarding the looks of this vehicle.
Favorite Features
The looks of the SRX make it a neck turning vehicle. Old and young people have taken a second and third up close look when it is at a parking lot.
Suggested Improvements
Maybe having the option of a second tone or line of color, instead of just one tone. Have a stronger material on the front and back.
GM is "really in the car business"
