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

Review

My 2005 Cadillac SRX is still a new vehicle, but so far so great! It has a very cool and unique looking exterior design. I have the V6, which seems to have plenty of power for this vehicle. The enormous sunroof is amazing. It has plenty of room inside, but not a huge SUV feel. It also has a very smooth ride on the highway, a terrific sound system (Bose), and rich looking interior. I haven't tested it in much snow yet, I but am confident it's all I need.

Favorite Features

Sunroof, sound system and OnStar service. Also very comfortable seats.

Suggested Improvements

Install a more conventional coat hanger hook in the rear compartment. The triptronic transmission doesn't automatically shift down when you some to a stop like the Audi does ... I prefer the Audi feature.

Review

The 2005 Cadillac SRX is quiet, responsive, and economical. The inside cargo space is deceiving, it provides more than adequate storage. The V6 engine makes one forget the need for a V8.

I Love It

2005 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

I had a 2003 Cadillac Escalade. My new 2005 Cadillac SRX is so fun to drive! It gets pretty darn good gas mileage, but who cares when it is so fun to drive. Getting in takes a little getting used to, because of the wide threshold. I love the Bose sound system. The wood trim is beautiful (I am not so fond of the black dash). Overall, this is one of the best vehicles that I've owned.

Favorite Features

The power of the V8 engine is great.

Suggested Improvements

The retractable rear seat is slow, kind of hard to figure out.

Enjoying My Wife's SRX

Review

I am used to peppy cars as the car that I turned in was a Cadillac STS, point being is that the 265 Hp Cadillac SRX provides me with all the pep I need. To top this off it is fueled with regular gas. It also gets good gas mileage on trips and around town. I truly enjoy driving this attention getting vehicle. Lexus and Mercedes-Benz people are always examining it wherever I drive. It is dolled up very nicely with pearl white paint and gold striping. I added a set of chrome wheels later on. The origial wheels looked almost plastic, very distasteful. However our salesman suggested we have the original ones chrome plated, well that was the iceing on the cake. Now you know why I enjoy driving my wife's SRX.

Favorite Features

Memory seats and mirrors, three automatic switches for garage door openers and rear bumper sensors.

Suggested Improvements

I think a vehicle of this caliber should come with a burlwood dash and automatic hatch release Do something about those plastic looking wheels we are talking a Cadillac here.

SRX - Return of the Station Wagon

Written by: Albert on 01/11/2005

Vehicle

2005 Cadillac SRX AWD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

I bought a Cadillac SRX because of it's style and because I didn't want to get another Lexus SUV. The SRX is a dream to drive. It is more comfortable than a Lexus and it has superior handling (no fear of rollover on turns). But, I miss the Japanese common-sense engineering. The location of the AC, heater, and rear window wiper controls on the SRX require your full attention (eyes off the road) when adjusting. You cannot avoid rubbing the backs of your legs on the rocker panels when exiting the car (this gets them very dirty when raining or snowing). There is no remote gas cap lid (you have to buy a locking gas cap like we did in the 70's). Lastly, the second row seats do not fold flat.

Favorite Features

The fantastic Bose Sound System and the SRX's quiet interior makes listening to music a concert-hall experience. The 8-way power driver and passenger seats w/lumbar control are the most comfortable I've been in in years.

Suggested Improvements

Move the AC and heat controls up below the radio and move the CD changer down. Put the rear window wiper switch on the dashboard. Add a remote-release for the tailgate. Add a remote-release gas cap lid. Add some lights to the radio and CD buttons for night driving. Put a light in the cupholders.

Review

I went from a large SUV to the Cadillac SRX. It is the best move that I have made. The SRX is easy to drive and has excellent handling. I enjoy all the Cadillac luxury options. The interior is roomy and I do not feel confined.

Favorite Features

I love the ultra view sun roof. I leave it open all the time.

Review

I compared thsi car with a host of SUV's in the same price/feature range (Lexus, BMW, Volvo, Acura, Mercedes). There was no question once I test drove this car. Handling is a dream! Power in the mountains (colorado) is remarkable and equals the turbo charged Saab 9.5se that my wife drives. Excellent comfort/interior for driver and passengers. Learning the computer and all its features is a bit time consuming and somewhat complicated. visability (rear side views from driver seat) is not great.

Favorite Features

power, steering and smooth ride

Suggested Improvements

simplified computer learning

Review

A great vehicle to drive, holds the road well, comfortable, plenty of room for 5 adults, a dog, gifts, 2 suitcases and a ham to travel 300 miles on Christmas. Mileage 23 MPG highway, 16 and a half around town. Not bad!

Favorite Features

Moon roof! OnStar and phone,

Suggested Improvements

Heated seats should be part of the lumbar seat package.

Review

Overall, I am very pleased with Cadillac SRX. I have an AWD V6 version with all the extras. I have found the navigation system, which I find priceless,and my kids love the DVD system and the Ultraview roof. I love the handling of this SUV. It's very easy to drive and doesn't seem like I'm driving a truck. I have test driven other SUVs that are hard to manuever.

Favorite Features

I love the exterior design, and ease of driving this SUV. It doesn't drive like a truck. I also love the DVD system that is located between the two front seats. It's the perfect place for my kids to view movies from their carseats in the second row.

Suggested Improvements

I think the rear door is difficult / heavy to open for a woman. I wish there was a release button near the driver's seat to "POP" the rear door like a trunk release button on a car.

Best Vehicle I have Driven in Over 30 Years

Review

Without a doubt the 2004 Cadillac SRX is one of the best vehicles I have owned and driven in over 30 years. It has all the features you want in a vehicle like this. You don't know what you are missing till you go out and drive an SRX.

Favorite Features

Power, comfort, and lots of space

Suggested Improvements

Have a power backup for all the programing that needs to be done and this car. If the battery is taken out you start all over with the system programing.
