Enjoying My Wife's SRX

I am used to peppy cars as the car that I turned in was a Cadillac STS, point being is that the 265 Hp Cadillac SRX provides me with all the pep I need. To top this off it is fueled with regular gas. It also gets good gas mileage on trips and around town. I truly enjoy driving this attention getting vehicle. Lexus and Mercedes-Benz people are always examining it wherever I drive. It is dolled up very nicely with pearl white paint and gold striping. I added a set of chrome wheels later on. The origial wheels looked almost plastic, very distasteful. However our salesman suggested we have the original ones chrome plated, well that was the iceing on the cake. Now you know why I enjoy driving my wife's SRX.

The 2005 Cadillac SRX is quiet, responsive, and economical. The inside cargo space is deceiving, it provides more than adequate storage. The V6 engine makes one forget the need for a V8.

A Winner for Cadillac

Just finished the first three months of ownership of my new SRX and am very pleased with the car. After testing both the eight cylinder and the six cylinder engines I opted for the 3.5L six and am not at all disappointed since I find the power is totally adequate. It rides and handles well and combines the best of an SUV and a sedan. On long trips it's as comfortable as my '04 Escalade and not as thirsty. Some have criticized the exhaust note, but I find it pleasing and not at all intrusive. So far everything works as advertised with no problems. Cadillac seems to want to make sure it's owners have an overall excellent ownership experience and I'm certainly very satisfied.

I Love It

I had a 2003 Cadillac Escalade. My new 2005 Cadillac SRX is so fun to drive! It gets pretty darn good gas mileage, but who cares when it is so fun to drive. Getting in takes a little getting used to, because of the wide threshold. I love the Bose sound system. The wood trim is beautiful (I am not so fond of the black dash). Overall, this is one of the best vehicles that I've owned.

Lousy Quality

I bought 2005 SRX for my wife who always wanted a caddy. I also owned 2006 STS at same time. Have had many problems over and over again with with electronics with car. Now timing chain has broke according to my local garage due to low oil pressure. Since buying this caddy I traded in my STS due to poor quality with all the gadets in the car. The SRX is a great example of nice car not built well. Engine makes lots of noise, and uses oil. When you buy a cadillac you expect a car above the rest! I have owned at least five different cars over past few years and will NEVER buy another cadillac again new or used. I'm now waiting on GM to see if they will take any responsiblity for poor quality car
