Phenomenal vehicle! After owning countless cars, SUVs, and trucks, this is the one worth waiting for. So comfortable with the countless seating adjustments with heated seats and bolsters. Rides like a Cadillac and handles like a dream. Great fun,too.

SRX is blast to drive!

Our SRX is extremely versatile, excellent in snow/ice and a favorite with my grandkids (because of the DVD setup) but mostly it's a blast to drive. The Northstar engine is phenomenal as is the 5-sp auto trans. We regularly travel an approximate 50 miles of twisting, turning, two lane road and, other than my ZR1 'Vette, I've never had as much fun on that route as I have with the SRX. We traded a 2003 Infiniti G35,an excellent car, due to a move to a cold climate and a desire for more passenger space; we have the optional third seat.

We traded our 2002 Seville STS on our SRX and couldn't be happier. We live in FL in the winter - IN in the summer and were looking for more cargo area for the drive (dog, cat luggage, 5 grandchildren). test drove Lexus RX330, VW Toureg, Infiniti and this was the clear choice in both price and GREAT driving experience!! Handles like a dream. Opted for rwd/no snow in FL.

Have had the car for only 6 weeks but I really like it. Drives and handles great, roomy & confortable. I think it is a bit overpriced (cost me $ 47,000 ) And it is definitely NOT my fathers Cadillac.

As empty nesters it just what we were looking for in design and function. Room for the yellow lab and the skis, a more than adequate level of performance, and a pragmatic and efficient use of space. We wanted the third seat option yet did not want to move up a class size.

Just got the car and went on a road trip of about 1700 round trip. I was in an accident I hurt my back and my STS was damaged so that I was not going to see it again. Paul Conti in Westbury NY saved me got me into an SRX quickly and with a reasonable deal. The drove like a dream. The heated seats were like therapy and seat allowed my back to be straight so that I could drive several hours at a time.

After downsizing from a Sequoia and Expedition, this is the best SUV I have driven yet! The memory of the seats and pedals are great. The heated seats and the way the seats go back when you open the door are a plus. I am thrilled!

Never Thought I Would Love a Caddy!

I had just about given up on American cars until I found the Cadillac SRX. Being a picky person with many ideal features I never thought I would find the perfect vehicle. I wanted performance, luxury, and utility plus 7 seats to tote around kids and their friends. Living in a hilly NY area, I needed AWD too. Until the SRX, this combination just did not exist. I was a little weary about American cars, I decided to test drive it and fell in love. The power is just unbelievable and the quality is top notch. It feels so solid compared to our Volvo S60 - they are not in the same league at all. I drive it hard and it responds. I just have a blast and there is plenty of luxury to boot. It handles like a sports sedan.

My husband and I went into the dealership to look at Escalades. We fell on love with something called the SRX. I had not even seen a Cadillac ad for this new model. We are very impressed with the handling,looks and speed. We are so pleased with the purchase and all the high performance. Cadillac needs to advertise this car for the younger buyers.

This is the best put together vehicle we have ever purchased. No squeaks, rattles, even panel fit and great paint. Interior is a little plastic, but very attractive and comfortable. Bose stereo is outstanding. Car is not a muscle car with the V6, however the Northstar is not worth the additional $5000.00. Only complaint is the FE3 magnetic suspension is not available without the over the top 1SC package.

At the age of 39 I the age group that Cady is focusing on to make their comeback. I can tell you that they have NOT disappointed. This vehicle is one of the most enjoyable rides that I have ever driven and I am not comparing to SUV's only. Comfort, handling, response are all top notch. The interior is roomy and sporty although not as nice as I would have wanted. This car is pure heavenly to drive however the price tag is steep and GM may have a harder time selling a vehicle at this price to GenX ers like myself.

At first glance you get the modern station wagon persona of the car. That is until you drive it. This has to be one of the top SUV's for ride quality and handling. The seats are incredibly comfortable and the interior space is great (especially for us folks over six feet). The six cylinder delivers plenty of punch and gets great mileage for a vehicle of this size. I highly recomend you drive one before you make any type of decision on a new vehicle. You will be impressed.

ery happy with car overall, although we have one major complaint being that the driver & passnger seats do not have lumbar adjustments which are quite important to us due to back problems. Cant understand why a car costing $58,000+ cant include this. Also why are running boards not available. We short people have a hard time stepping up to get in. Can we get answer from Cadillac regards this? Would slso like to see the second seat with warming gridfor passengers.

I have owned 7 Cadillacs in the past 12 years. I purchased the SRX for more storage room on long trips. It is not a comfortable vehicle, difficult to get in and out of, and the 3rd seat is a childs jump seat(10years old max). 16.5 MPG avg. with the V6. The power steering at parking speed is truck-like. On the other hand the 5 speed transmission performs great on the highway. If you are a Cadillac owner over 40, avoid this vehicle! I have been in Fort Myers,Fl now for 3 months and have not seen another SRX anywhere on the Southwest Florida coast?

Sold my Benz ML to buy this car- it caught my eye in a print ad, saw one, knew it was "my car", and purchased the first one I could get my hands on. Love the looks, find it comfortable on long trips, and enjoy the power- though it doesn't pass too many gas stations. Also like the lower body after the SUV.

I like the looks of the SRX. The exterior design makes it easy to see out of. Their is plenty of leg room in both the front and back seats. On the negative side, the consol is not big enough to be useful. As a lady driver, there is no place to put a purse, or other items you may need, such as mail, papers, etc. If you don't have a front seat passenger, you can put it on the seat, but if you have passengers, & put it on the floor, there is always the chance, it will slip under your feet and interfere with the gas peddle.

10 weeks and I still love my SRX AWD. I was originally interested in the SRX because of its automobile size - not the monster Escalade. I really appreciate Cadillac packaging options together, I purchased the Luxury performance package with the Ultraview sunroof and third row power seat. The 6cyl has incredible power and I like the fuel economy over the 8cyl which felt like a rocket ship on wheels. Design, handling, comfort are all premium first-class. This was my clear and exceptional choice over Volvo, BMW, Lexus, Lincoln, and Volkswagon.

I have had SUV's for the past 10 years. 2 chey blazers and my last one was an Envoy. My husband also had a Navigator a few years back. I was tired of the truck-like feel of the Blazer and I loved the Envoy. Thinking now that I wanted a car, I hated to give up the space of an SUV but I wanted more luxury and driving comfort and feel... Well the SRX does it all. It is sporty, comfortable, classy and has all the perks-- fully loaded!

There are other vehicles that play in this niche, the SRX takes the best of all. It handles like the Germans, rides comfortable like the Japanese and goes like heck without punishing the occupants. The looks may me a love it or hate type of thing for many, it definitely stands out in the crowd. This may be the best domestic vehicle in quite a while and one that holds its head up high in any crowd.

I wanted to get a Deville for that renowned Caddy ride, but needed more room to cart stuff around. I test drove the SRX and fell in love. I have the Blue Chip color with light Tan interior, DVD system, no sunroof, no Nav system. I am in love with this car. I can't wait to drive it everyday. It handles very tight, the seats are very scuptured to your body, theres plenty of head and shoulder room, fit and finish is outstanding, power, shifting, and handling are smooth as silk.

My SRX V-8 AWD was delivered in early December - the vehicle is flawless - outstanding performance - great ride and interior appointments are better than the BMW vehicles I have had in the past - this vehicle is proof that Cadillac is once again back on top and ahead of the competition - so lomg BMW, Audi and Mercedes - I am going with Cadillac from now on.
