2006 Cadillac SRX 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I have read the reviews about the SRX, so I had a very low expectation for it. All I have to say is test ride this vehicle, and all those criticisms will seem like hot air. I read one criticism was that the center console had two levels, and that you have to remove the top layer to get to the bottom, if you don't like this feature, remove the upper tray, and it becomes one large compartment. The handling was a very pleasant experience, and all of the controls are thoughtfully positioned. Some people might be accustomed to European or Japanese configurations, so they may not be used to the SRX, my advice is to give some time and you will realize that there is a reason for the position of the items.

Favorite Features

It has great handling, an excellent engine, cool styling, and it is very refined.

Suggested Improvements

Make programing personalization more intuitive.

Changes Need to be Made

2006 Cadillac SRX 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

Review

The Cadillac SRX is an enjoyable vehicle to drive in town and on the road. Its road noise is much less than other vehicles we have ridden in. The gas mileage is not as good as our previous DeVilles' got though.

Favorite Features

It is taller than our previous vehicles and much easier to get in and out of.

Suggested Improvements

Make more room in the rear so two golf bags can be placed side to side and still have room for luggage. Make a digital dash with more information showing. Move the glove box to a more accessible area. Move the gas filler door to other side. Add a locking gas door with inside unlock.

Review

This is my first Cadillac and it will not be my last. The vehicle is a head turner and I have received many compliments from friends and other drivers. The ultra view sunroof is a must have. It's a fun vehicle to drive. I'm a very satisfied customer.

Favorite Features

I love the Ultra view sunroof and all wheel drive.

Suggested Improvements

Add turn signal indicators in the side view mirrors.

Review

I love this car, it is so smooth. The other day we had huge amounts of stream line winds, you couldn't even feel them in this car; let alone hear them! The only problem I have is, sometimes I feel more like a granny driving this car, when all of my friends have their sporty mom vehicles. I am still only 27 and not quite ready to fully give up my youth just yet. However, with hopefully a third baby on the way this car was really the way to go for us. So, I might look like a granny in this car at times,...but I still love it!

SRX

Review

The SRX is an outstanding vehicle to drive and to look at in the driveway. It has good power, a tight turning range, and is fun to drive. The extra large sunroof gives it the feel of a convertible without all of the road noise. It seems to be very tightly manufactured. I enjoy driving it as much as my Infiniti G35!

Favorite Features

The sunroof and all wheel drive.

Suggested Improvements

It almost has too many features - but I love them all.

Love my Cadillac SRX

Review

I love our 2006 Caillac SRX. Its comfortable and reliable. Its very stylish exterior is awsome. The V6 sure has a lot of get up and go when you need it. It is easy to park and handles great. There is plenty of leg room both in the front and the second row. The third seat is great, but only fits children. The thrid seat folds flat and when its down there is plenty of cargo space even for my LARGE stroller. The Ultraview is a MUST!! It is amazinly large and doesn't create a lot of noise like most sunroofs. You can't beat Cadillac's warranty!

Favorite Features

The Ultraview, Cadillac's warranty, OnStar, XM radio, and the third row seat.

Suggested Improvements

The rear window washer is small for the large rear window. The sun visors are a bit "cheap" looking. I would have thought Cadillac would have done better.

Nice Ride

Review

I traded in a 2004 Infiniti FX35 for a Cadillac SRX because my wife found the ride on the FX to be too harsh and the cargo space lacking. The SRX rides as one would expect a Cadillac -- very smooth and soft, yet the handling is quite acceptable. Oddly enough the FX had better gas mileage. On a round trip from Long Island, NY to Allentown, PA I achieved 18 MPG on the SRX averaging 70-80 mph. Similar conditions with the FX yielded 21 MPG. The last time I owned an American car was in 1982. I've gone foreign ever since. GM has done something nice here to win me back. Overall I'm very pleased with the purchase, but wish the acceleration to be slightly better; perhaps I should have gotten the V8.

Favorite Features

I like this vehicle's luxurious feel and ride. It has ample cargo space. I really like its cutting edge styling (love it or hate it). It has a great sunroof and ergonomically designed controls. I like the rear A/C settings too. OnStar and the Verizon handsfree phone hookup are great. The rear DVD system with wireless headphones eliminates the "our we there yet?" comments from the kids.

Suggested Improvements

The acceleration sounds like a NYC bus. When viewing performance indicators on the screen (i.e. fuel range, instantaneous mileage, cruising range..etc) you can only view one at a time. It would be nice to see several in one clip. The rear sensors are OK, but a back-up camera option would be much better.

Great SRX!

Review

This is my first ever SUV/Crossover and I am very happy with the SRX. It is fun to drive, like a car, it is very comfortable and with the ultraview sunroof open and windows down it feels as if you where in a convertible or a Jeep! Having driven very flashy cars over my life time, I was worried that the SRX may not get the looks I was use to. But having bought black on black, it gets attention everwhere I go, so I highy recommend the SRX when life tells you the desire for a two seater has past, but you still do not want a boring box on wheels.............simple visit your local Cadillac dealer. I am sure you will agree the SRX will make you still feel young and sporty. It was my 36th B-day gift.

Favorite Features

Ultaview, Nav system, looks, utility, and prestige. Also, I like how it's American made.

Suggested Improvements

The Nav system could be a little easier to understand, but after three months of ownership, I have mastered it. The V6 could use a little more power on heavy acceleration between 70 and 90. I would recommend the V8.

Review

AThe SRX is a beautiful vehicle. My major complaint is a shortage of storage bins. I am always trying to find a place to put stuff. The exhaust is almost a growl - it is pleasant. The appearane attracts positive comments everywhere I go. Most people cannot beleive that this is a Cadillac. We are thinking of aquiring a second one - it is a very cool, satisifying vehicle. Our dealer was super as well!

Favorite Features

The looks and all of the memory functions are very cool. The coolest item of all is the HUGE sunroof - get it!

Suggested Improvements

It needs more storage spots.
