Handles Like a Sport Sedan

The most impressive thing about my SRX is the ride. Very responsive, roomy and the kids love the third row of seats. Living in the sunbelt, I have a RWD 6 which is quite responsive without breaking the bank at the fuel pumps (runs fine on regular). Ultraview sunroof is like driving an SUV convertible. I made a smart decision in choosing this vehicle.

Noisy, Spirited SRX

Having had 9 Tahoes, I expexted a vehicle at least as quiet in the SRX. The AWD mated with the V6 is agile, spirited and fun to drive, but much busier sounding than our Trailblazer at 14 grand less. Fuel economy not much better than the Tahoe (the only reason I switched). Seats are superb, navigation system is great, but one needs the eyes of an eagle to read the clock & temp. Ultraview roof is a mixed bag, big open air feeling, noisy when open, creaks open or closed. Third row seat should not be powered, takes forever to raise and lower. Over all quality less than I had hoped for, but nothing major, just small annoyances. Can not believe XM radio and rain sensing wipers weren't standard.

Last December my Mercedes-Benz broke down. I went to this Cadillac dealership to take a look at their Escalade and saw the SRX. After the test drive, I immidiately ordered mine. For the last six months, I did not regret a bit. It drives better than a sedan, more than enough power although mine is a V6, feels save and very comfortable. Best of all, it bears an American name. (Just for those of you that wonder, I was not born here.)

SRX Equals Fun

The SRX handles like a luxury sedan. The V8 engine is fast in its response and you can not tellhow fast your going as the handling is flawless. The SRX offers great visiability looking forward but has some interference due to third row headrests. The leather seats are adjustable to accomadate any size driver comfortably. The controls and guages are also conveniently displayed. The vehicle does lack some convenience storage space compared to other vehicles I have had. The up side is that I do not keep things in the vehicle I do not need for months on end.

Selected after "driver's trials" with the V6 & V8 comparisons at El Toro; Special ordered Nov '04, BlueChip / Ebony, std V8 w/trailer pkg; delayed delivery due to plant shutdown & snow; worth waiting for; wife loves quiet ride, styling, leg room, moon roof & other goodies; I like the vehicle size, driver's road height, adj lumbar, leg room, shifter tran & performance, especially on the mountains between LA & Vegas; would prefer regular gas vs. premium but will keep tank full anyhow; mileage reasonable for V8 power about as advertised; ride stiffer than typical luxury sedan, but better than most, and great when coupled with the super handling on narrow winding roads; don't plan true off-roading but will do "local-bad" roads.
