Good vehicle
Good SUV, comparable to my wife's Lexus Rx300. More power, less engine noise, better handling, even more quiet. The additional woodgrain package is a must for appearance...makes it look $1,000 better. Needs the same addition that was placed on the Lexus. A bummper cover in the rear to keep marks off of the top of the bumper. Very good vehicle so far, 2,500 miles.
Big Mistake
I cannot believe that GM would build a Cadillac without a sensor to let you know that the oil is low. The other reviews sound like me. Had I know that the SRX V6 uses so much oil and there is not a light that tells you there is no oil in the car I definitely would not have bought it. Driving from LA to Sacramento the car starts jerking but no warning light comes on so I think I just filled up with bad gas and continue to drive another 100 miles. Well it was not the gas it was no oil in the engine. I owned the car 4 months and was scheduled for an oil change two days later. I cannot believe GM does not fix this problem. The warranty does not cover engine damage due to no oil in the car.

New Cadillac SRX
The wife and I love this truck. The only thing we think they could have do better on the door interior door panels should have a leather trim or some thing we looked at a inf and a Lexus but not happy with the lack of power. I drive a 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 1/2 ton hemi and love it as you can see the wife likes power.
Cadillac SRX owner comments
We've driven the SRX 3,000 miles since the purchase 45 days ago. 1/3 of it on a long trip; the remainder has been city driving. We use the speed control whenever possible and avoid 'rabbit' starts in stop and go driving. Both my wife and I have 50 years of driving experience, most of it with GM and Toyota vehicles. We have the six cylinder model and optional rear seats so it seats 7.
Problems after warranty
I loved my SRX 2005 until recently. I had a seat belt break. The laminant on the dash is peeling off. My sunroof rattles, and now I have water in the back compartment under the third seat which has caused my headrests to mildew and also my 3rd seat has some mildew areas. It has been a major inconvenience to find where it is leaking from. I've read other reviews and on the 2004 model a few customers have had leaks under their 3rd seats from the sunroof. Has this been a problem for others. Maybe this is something Cadillac should look in to. Maybe there should be a recall on this problem before others have to deal with it.
