Review
My wife and I had been planning for a Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander for a while, until we came across SRX at Edmunds.com. We got both dealer and consumer rebates of the month. Now we have it, love it and can't live without it.
Favorite Features
comfort, sound, ride, luxurious interior
Suggested Improvements
mpg => would be nice to be hybrid

Review
I have only purchased Japenese luxury cars for the past 20 years. This was the perfect storm, Lexus and Acura didn't ring my bell. I hate Infinity and I can never see eye to eye with the German companies. I decided to look at the Cadillacs. No way I was buying one, but I looked anyway. The test drive was fantastic. After much internal agonizing, I went back. There were large rebates in play and they had exactly what I was looking for. I pulled the trigger! I have never enjoyed a vehicle more. Wonderful engineering, beautiful fit and finish and a great stereo system. It has it all, size, comfort, power and a wonderful 50/50 weight distribution. Kudos to the new Cadillac management!
Favorite Features
Sound system, sport pack, ride and a real nice suspension. The interior feels like a millionaire's living room.
Suggested Improvements
SIRIUS instead of that XM garbage. Internal bluetooth would be nice. OnStar is a rip off. They need to find a way to boost that lousy gas mileage.

Review
I'm 75 years old, have owned countless cars, and this is the best all around vehicle to date. The Lexus 400h [yes it rattled]was the 2nd worst, which barely beat out the 1974 Chevy Vega.
Favorite Features
The whole package looks good, drives good and is just plain creature comfortable. Bought the Sports Package with AWD and 20" wheels. The size is perfect. This vehicle is a little narrower, shorter and lighter than some other large SUV's which is very desirable when driving in congestion.
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage is marginal; but I knew that when I dumped the 400h. The 20 gallon fuel tank gives a practical city range of 270 miles. Make it bigger.

Review
I got exactly what I was expecting when I purchased my SRX. I rented a 2007 model while on vacation and fell in love with it. I got back from vacation and bought one four days later. I bought it fully loaded and do not regret my choice.
Favorite Features
Comfortable seats with heat and awesome sound system..
Suggested Improvements
Somehow include a 6-disc CD changer for DVD models.

Review
We traded a 2005 Escalade in on this car. I was very pleased with the Escalade and was hesitant at first with the SRX, but wow. We got the magnet ride, and it can't be better. Cadillac is missing the boat by not advertising this car as much as the others. We tested the Enclave and the Acadia. Go with the Caddy.
Favorite Features
The V8. Magnet ride. XM radio. Look of the vehicle. Bose. DVD navigation. Electric lift tailgate. The best of everything!
Suggested Improvements
The silver rings around the air vents on the dash, they reflect in the mirrors. I painted ours the color of the dash to correct this.

Review
I thought I'd do it ... delve into the American car market .. and I have to say ... what a mistake I made. You pay for what you get and this vehicle I suppose sums that up. Nice on the outside and inside I suppose but the drive and the handling .. appalling. Why is it American cars only drive well on a straight flat roads? Here in Europe we have no such thing and can't you tell with this car. Had an X5 and a Range Rover Sport before .. and now I know why. Nevermind .. it does look nice on the drive .. but that's about it. When will Americans ever build .. a decent car? I love to think they will one day. Well I have to go for a wallow down to the local supermarket now.
Favorite Features
the luxury toys ...
Suggested Improvements
Just improve everything else .. particularly the suspension.

Review
I can't get enough of driving this car. The ride is excellent. And I love to see heads turn when they approach the vehicle. GM has done their homework.
Favorite Features
I love the XM radio, Bose sound, DVD navigation system, the huge sunroof, ultraview roof, remote tail lift.
Suggested Improvements
The glove compartment seems awkward to reach into if you are in the passenger seat. I would like to see fold in side mirrors as a standard feature. Other than this, it's a winner.

Review
The SRX handles corners with nimbleness unexpected from a vehicle this large. The styling is classic Cadillac with attention to detail, like real wood grain; solid metal inserts and stitched leather throughout. The Panoramic roof is a sight to behold, gives your passengers the impression that they are in a convertible. The driver is wrapped in controls, but never overwhelmed, everything essential is on the steering column.
Favorite Features
Handling, sunroof, little amenities like the heated steering column, multi- positional seat, wonderfully crisp Bose sound system.
Suggested Improvements
3rd row seating is for kids only, gas mileage could be improved (but still respectable).

Review
The SRX is a pleasure to drive. The 6-cyl engine has more than enough power and the car is filled with luxury features. Quality throughout. Better gas mileage than comparable Japanese cars (except for hybrids). Very nice.
Favorite Features
Sunroof, power pedals (my daughter, who has short legs, can now drive at a safe distance from the steering wheel), entertainment options (XM radio + 6-disc cd changer + Ipod connection), luxury all around
Suggested Improvements
All SUVs need better gas mileage! SRX needs more head room in 3d row of seats
