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.

The only way to understand just how much fun a big car can be to drive is to teat drive the SRX. Smooth and quite doesnt come close. A suspension system that absorbs rough road like magic. Its fast, solid and feels like nothing else.

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.

My husband and I were in the market for a new car but did not know what we really wanted. We test drove many different SUVs from Mercedes to Volvos. Then we saw the SRX, decided to go on a test drive and bought the car that day. We have enjoyed this car more than any other car we have had. The vehicle has a style of its own!

Two Rears Driving the Cadillac SRX

The Cadillac SRX is a great open road vehicle. It gets 26 MPG on long trips. Its city gas mileage is not so good though at around 16 MPG. This truck is fun to drive, has great power for a V6, and has excellent styling. Its negatives are the unconfortable back seat (too stiff and upright), the V6 is noisy when accelerating, the information center controls are difficult to operate, the very wide door sills makes graceful entry difficult for women and puts dirt on men's slack bottoms, there is no adjustment for the shoulder belt height (where it contacts the neck), and no power opener for the rear hatch. Also, mine has some door rattles at 35,000 miles. I would still buy/lease another SRX, but with a V8.

My Cadillac SRX is the best car that I've ever had for the instant go power. It accomdates the get up & go that I love to have. With all wheel drive and traction control combined with magnetic suspension the car really sticks to road in those tight curves. So many creature comforts that I can't remember them all. My SRX is the most powerful and fun car that anyone could want.

I love the car! Despite negative reliability ratings from Consumer Reports, the only maintenance issue I've had was the collapse of the two front shock absorbers, which the dealer immediately corrected. The vehicle has a wonderful ride and great handling characteristics, especially on the highway. It's quiet and comfortable, and the seats are firm and very supportive. My wife, who is not easily impressed with domestic makes, really loves it. It's been great on road trips, averaging 24 MPG on the highway. The Northstar V8, is considerably more thirsty I'm told, but I don't miss the horsepower...the V6 is quite responsive. I recommend the car without reservation.

I had researched this vehicle for quite sometime. It proved me wrong once behind the wheel. At first I did'nt quite like the exterior look for the price but onced behind the wheel that kind of went out the window. The ride over ruff terrain could be alittle smoother but it may be better with the magnetic ride control. As far as the performance and being a Cadillac you just can't beat it.

First time Cadillac buyer, bought the car 3 days ago and I can't get over the ride, very smooth and quiet. Bought the black exterior w/black interior, ultraview sunroof, radio/nav, 8 speakers, Onstar, no third row, V8...enough said. Hands down, the best I have owned. Keep an eye on your speed, the V8 can get you in trouble. Not many of them on the road like the BMW's or Mercedes so its sleek design will turn heads.

Two months ago I bought 2004 Cadillac SRX V8 AWD with 14,000 miles for $27,500 - a very good deal. This is basically the price of new Toyota Highlander, Ford Freestyle, or Chrysler Pacifica! I added a Certified Pre-Owned package (with 2.9%APR). This is a very good vehicle, but it is not without glitches. I had the rear wheel hub replaced. There is corrosion at the rear roof rack pillars. Also, there is some vibration from the engine at 1,500 RPM. But overall I am happy with the vehicle.

Car is fun to drive. My only complaint is that the meaning of the buttons on the steering wheel should be written out as they are on our Buick and I would like to see thje speed shown in the windshield as it is with the Buick. The V6 engine is very rersponsive and has great power. The sun roof is great.

We purchased the SRX after bringing one home for the 24 hour test drive. You have the convenience of a suv, but the comfort and drivability of a luxury car. At first we did not like the appearance of the SRX, as it is very different looking. Now we think all of the other luxury suv's are very dated looking. We highly recommend this vehicle.

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.

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.

This vehicle is fun, fun, fun. I am a Mom and a Realtor, and I get looks of envy from other parents and clients. This vehicle is easy to get in and out of. It has the look of sophistication needed for my clients and the durability of the mini van to take the kids where they need to go. Enough room in the back to keep my golf clubs handy, and storage to keep napkins and such handy for the kids. Yo can pull out in traffic and never have to worry about causing a traffic jam.

With the Northstar V-8 and 320hp, this is a great performance SUV (built on a car platform, the CTS). As with most new models, there are some bugs: rattles in the retracting roof and passanger door and two small oil leaks which required a week to repair. The engine actually has to be dropped to make the repair. This drove the Cadillac mechanics to distraction. The repairs were completed and all is now well. A fun, convenient vehicle to drive, with outstanding accelleration and handling. The V-8 comes with all the bells and whistles. As one would expect from Cadillac.

Researched for three months. Looked at MDX, GX 470, XC90. All of them excellent cars. Needed three rows of seats for four children. Two smallest are 2 and 1 year old, third row is plenty and second row slides forward if needed later. The SRX has a very unique and sharp look. I am glad to drive american after 12 years of european (BMW,VW). The quality, the feel, the luxury is impressive.I got exactly what I wanted, I could not be more satisfied, if I had to do it again, I would do the same. Some expert reviews questioned some of the interior materials qualities. I did not find any problems or issues.

This year we test drove the BMW M5, the Mercedes CL500, The VW Tourang, the The new Volvo. We loved the Cadillac SRX the moment we tested it. We also got a great deal. The interior style with the ultra plush leather seats are outstanding. We recommend this car to anyone seeking luxury and quality!

Cadillac definitely has a winner in this SRX! I never thought that I would own a Cadillac, but this car really impressed me. First, I really liked the exterior styling--it has a "cut" look that is very appealing --solid and premium. I think the rounded egg design of the Lexus 330 is behind the times. The SRX drives like car, has great performnace and is very comfortable and refined. The V6 is sweet. Given the weight it accelerates nicely and effortlessly The interior design is well-integrated--controls are easy to use and intuitive and the seats are great. The quality exceeded my expectations-- I can't find any fault.

I have owned several SUVs, both forign and domestic (including the Mercedes ML320). The SRX is the best all around Vehicle I have owned. Power is just right with the V-6. Comfort is tops with a smooth ride, but a firm- sporty feel. The SRX sits lower than most SUVs, giving me the confidence to toss it into a corner without fear of tipping. Interior is pleasant; seats handled a 750 mile trip with no discomfort. All in all, this is GM's finest hour.
