A Bit of a Bummer
Owned or leased over 10 Cadillacs prior to my SRX AWD - always with a great experience ... unfortunately, this vehicle has been a disappointment. I liked the exterior looks - mpg ok; however, should have checked the vehicles performance and technology out better - both a disappointment - not the standard I have come to expect from Cadillac. Found the vehicle to be noticeably underpowered - transmission shifts in a odd way at times - very irritating technology (e.g. front crash warning beeps in the garage when backing out in reverse, the front seat when you turn off the vehicle moves back automatically so far you would not want someone in the rear seat, etc).
Almost a perfect 10
I traded a 2007 DTS in for this SRX to hold me until the new XTS arrives next year. I'm not a Crossover person, but this is a really nice change. Fit and finish is perfect, and the optional Crystal Red I ordered is a real eye catcher. Seats are too firm, but I can live with it. The engine leaves a lot to be desired, but it's fair. Rides like a luxury should, but very noisy when you need to pass, or merge on the freeway from the underpowered engine. Poor fuel mileage with about 16'5 tops in city driving. At 6' there's plenty of leg room, and some to spare. Difficult to program different things i.e. radio etc.
Government Motors Crossover Failure
I have had my 2011 SRX for over one year and to say that it is a disappointment is an understatement. It is far too heavy for its small 260 hp engine. It is cumbersome to drive. I went from an Acura MDX to the SRX and every day, I miss my MDX which had much more room, but was much more agile than the SRX. I have already had transmission problems. The cargo space is miniscule. The only positive I have to say about the SRX is the electronic features it has. The navigation system is very good and the stereo is top of the line. Everything else is a disaster. I hate this car and can't wait to get rid of it.
2011 srx luxury AWD
got a used srx lux awd at 110,000 miles. Head restraint sticking forward causing neck pain. Brake pedal sticking so much higher than gas pedal causing knee pain. Front wheel bearing was replaced in 2016 but had to be replaced again in 2018. Water always getting into headlight and burning out bulb. Water from sunroof leaking into passenger compartment. Fixed all these problems by myself. Seats so hard it is not comfortable combined with a very stiff suspension. A/C not working. Bluetooth only connects to phone calls and not music. 12v phone charger inside glove box; difficult to access. Engine seems to be in good condition and doesn't seem to consume oil or coolant. Nice quiet ride on highway. Huge blind spots; giant A and B pillars, almost ran over people couple of times. No torque and needs 4000 - 5000 rpm to keep up with traffic, weird transmission with huge delay in downshifting, and throttle has delay of quarter second-the most unresponsive car ever driven. The temperature and vent controls are buttons which is difficult to adjust. Gets 14 city 18 combined highway going very slow. wheel bearings went out again. $800 for two bearings!

Don't Buy This Car!
This is the worst car I've ever owned. There's no power, and the seats are uncomfortable. Worst of all, there are HUGE blindspot that make driving it feel unsafe.
