Review

I have driven Ford Explorers for 16 years, including 4 different models. My dealer assumed that I would by another, but with my buying plan with MetLife, I could buy the SRX at the same price I would have paid for another Explorer. Besides, Joe Bowman gave me a much higher trade-in than Beach Ford or Colonial Cadillac would have. It was worth the trip to drive 250 mile to Harrisonburg to get the vehicle I wanted. They could not have been a nicer group of people to deal with. When I arrived, all the paper work was completed, and with an explanation of how everything worked, and test drive, I was on my way back to Vievinia Beach. I have been excited to own another Cadillac. I am happy.

Favorite Features

There are more than enough standard features to feel like I have the best equipped car made. I like the constant temp. control, the super radio, the leather seats, the back up warning feature, and the LED stop and tun signals. I feel like I'm in a custom car.

Suggested Improvements

I would like to have a dedicated waste can larger than the very small space in the rear of the console. I wold like to have a larger space to stash my cell phone. The tiny space next to the power access point on the console is too small. The seat adjustment needs to set me up just a little bit.

SRX in East Texas

Written by: S. Ellis on 05/27/2006

Vehicle

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

Review

After looking at the Lexus GX 470 we decided on the SRX. We added the Drivers and Luxury Packages, 3rd row seat, upgraded Bose stereo system and ultraview sunroof. The Drivers Package has the magnetic suspension and 18" wheels, which makes the car / SUV drive like a dream! An added surprise was the headlight washers - a really neat feature! We average 17 mpg (city) and 23 mpg (road). We LOVE the automatic folding 3rd row, especially with 3 kids. It's easy for the kids to get into from the 2nd row. My husband and I have our own "personal" settings and the car automatically sets them depending upon whose key is used - no more changing the seats, radio, air, mirror, etc. - the car does it for you!

Favorite Features

I love the ultraview, BOSE is great too. Get the Luxury package - woodgrain trim polishes the car out! The 3rd row is a MUST for more than 2 children and we love it! We love the automatic pre-sets for each users' keys too.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage - would love for it to be better.

Our SRX

2006 Cadillac SRX 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)

Review

The Cadillac STX is terrific in all respects. I love the large sunroof, the sound system and the power rear hatch. My wife loves to drive it because of its ease of parking and incredible tight turning radius, not to mention the added height over our DeVille. This, of course makes seeing the road and other traffic much easier. We do believe this is a safety feature. We feel secure with the knowlege that there are air bags in front, side, and upper side areas. We love the low sill which makes it easy to load and unload the cargo area. People comment about the cutting edge styling of the vehicle all the time. The all wheel drive gives uncommon road traction which, in turn provides the SRX with exciting acceleration.

Favorite Features

The appearance of the vehicle, very leading edge styling... people stare at the SRX where ever we go... they ask, "what is that?" We love the attention the vehicle gets.

Suggested Improvements

Wish they had given the SUV a name in place of the stupid letters, "SRX." What does that stand for anyway? When we tell people that is an "SRX" they say, "Oh." Meaning.. what the heck is that? Then when we tell them it is a Cadillac, only then do they appreciate the vehicle more.

Pleasant Surprise

Review

The Cadillac SRX is the most amazing vehicle that I have ever owned. It is beautiful (inside and out), luxurious, comfortable, fast and posesses impeccable road manners. It handles like a dream. When I drive or park the vehicle, it turns heads. On several occasions, people have actually stopped to ask me about the car. When I cite the long list of its virtues, you can tell that the questioners are deeply impressed. I cannot imagine why it took me so long to buy a Cadillac! It has been worth every penny!

Favorite Features

(1) On Star (2) he user friendly voice and touch control navigation system (3) the length of the automated sunroof (4) and the power adjusted third row seat.

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage.

Love My SRX

Review

After test driving both the V6 and the V8, there is no compairison for me. The V8 is so much nicer, the noise level is quieter, and the the power is effortless. Both my wife and I just love the styling, and we get asked all the time, "What kind of car is it", and I am proud to tell them that it is a Cadillac. I have not found anyone that has not liked the looks of this car. Keep up the good work GM, your quality is world class!

Favorite Features

The silky smooth V8 engine and the power liftgate.

Suggested Improvements

a back-up camera display on the Nav screen in reverse, should be optional equipment.

An Example of why GM is failing

Written by: fdoamerica on 04/14/2006

Vehicle

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

Review

Problems ... shut the door the side mirror dislocates. The drivers door has a 1/2 inch gap between side panels ... where is the quality control? The performance is anemic and the handling heavy with an understear. This is Cadillac, the flagship name of GM?

Favorite Features

The lights work.

Suggested Improvements

Send all of the GM engineers to Japan to study quality control.

Review

I have had 6 different SUV's over the years. For just plain fun this is the tops. I wouldn't want to take it where I took vehicles 30 years ago, but I wouldn't do that to most luxury SUV's. It suits me perfectly.

Favorite Features

The Northstar engine and sound system.

Review

This vehicle has been my one of my favorite drving experiences in a long time. My salesperson was wonderful and during bad weather of the 2006 blizzard in New York I was able to drive through areas other car could not. I felt secure with the information from the computerized road updates and the heavy weight of the SRX. As a women I enjoy driving it and my children love the comfort in the rear seats.

Favorite Features

I love the Bose sound system, the clearity is impeckable. My children think this car is hot, along with the cordless head phones to watch their movies as we travel. This is a beautiful car to drive in White Diamond.

Suggested Improvements

Making foot rails standard would be nice. It was difficult for me and other women to get into the car because I am short.

I Love My SRX

Review

I purchase a 2006 SRX in March and it is perfect. I just love it. So far I have absolutely no complaints. I have the silver smoke exterior and light gray leather interior. I recieve many compliments while driving around and it is nice they are not ubiquitous. I feel this vehicle is a tremendous value compared to its competition.

Favorite Features

Ultraview sunroof is as close to having a convertible SUV as possible. Seats are fantastic. Power liftgate is a much appreciated feature. I love the XM radio and sound system is great and the OnStar calling feature is handy. I also like the manual gear shift feature and back up warning system.

Suggested Improvements

A liftgate button on the dash would be helpful as would ability to just open rear glass window and not entire liftgate.

Great All Around Vehicle

Review

I absolutely love the Cadillac SRX. It performs very well in the snow. It has great comfort and ride. I had a Cadillac Seville before this and this is far greater in style and handling. I get a lot of compliments and questions about the vehicle from people when I am getting gas. I had a man stop next to me at a light and give me the okay sign. I would absolutely recomend this vehicle to others.

Favorite Features

I love the power lift gate and backup sensors.

Suggested Improvements

They only thing that I am not too crazy about is the ultraview sunroof. If it is open all the way and you are traveling on the open road, it makes too much noise. I solve the problem by closing it halfway.
