This is the first American vehicle I have purchased and I couldn't be happier! Couldn't resist the deal (everyone buys @ employee price) and the style and performance leave nothing to be desired. Just returned from a 2,800 mile road trip and the vehicle performed flawlessly! Gas mileage is 23+ MPG, the stereo and rear seat entertainment system lived up to their promises. The comfort is second to none. Seats, driving position quietness, etc. make this a family hauler bar none. Handling in the mountains was sure footed and confidence inspiring. Get lots of lucks of approval and/or admiration. If this car performs well over time, I will switch to American with the other one as well.

The special aftermarket packages u need

2005 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

right, there are 2 pacakges you definitely need to add in addtional to the bare-bone base model (V6 RWD). 1. luxury package . (Not lux-performance pkg, which is a hoax and buy you nothing more than more cost of gasoline...) 2. After market: wood-view package. the reason is that the original design of SRX's central panel is a bit blackish, and the added flavor of wood trim will make the interior 200% more gorgeous, classic and impressive. Beyond these 2 packages, the Caddy SRX seats are just as comfortable as any mercedes. The acceleration is the best in the bunch as compared with Porsche Cayenne or X5.

Having been the driver of Duallys, trucks and large SUVs over the last 20 years, I am delighted with the roomy compactness of the SRX. I still feel high enough up off the road to be comfortable, and I don't worry about an entire Honda Accord (or the like) being obscured & hidden in the blind spots as is the case with driving large SUVs. The SRX wheels into the smallest of parking spaces with as much ease as any small car. It handles effortlessly and is a pleasure to drive. Cadillac appears to still be King of Bells & Whistles.

By far the best I ever owned. We traded a Highlander on this SRX, worlds of difference. Fun to drive, probably the safest SUV on the market. I can see why it's SUV of the year two years running. We opted for the storage as opposed to the third row seating as we are empty nesters. The V-6 is quick and smooth, the only improvement could be a automatic rear door. The ultraview is great. Best SUV we ever owned. Employee pricing makes it even better! Great car, great deal, makes driving fun again!

The car drives great. Only had one problem a blown fuse. I learned an expensive lesson. If you have the 3.6 V6 do not take the battery lose unless you wait one hour to reconnect. If connected to soon it can either lock the ECM (engine control modual) or worse fry it. In either case the car will not crank and the key can not be removed from the ignition. Now my wife says we should have bought a Lexus.

This is my first Cadillac and third SUV. So far very happy! My SRX is fully loaded with sunroof, navigation system and rear DVD. Eveything works great. Had a problem with a vibration in the center console, but my dealership fixed it right away. I wish it did have better gas millage, but with any SUV you should never expect great fuel economy.

Having a DeVille as previous car, the ride is not as smooth but for a SUV it handles and rides great. Having the glass top for viewing is really great and to ride with it open does give the feel of conv. But only drawback is I can't have satellite radio on the model with the glass top. Gas mileage on the highway is disappointing for a six cyl. car it comes at barely 22mpg. My biggest problem is that my wife loves it and I rather have a DeVille.

My Grandfather used to drive his Caddy to Florida every year. I always thought of Caddies as "senior citizen's vehicles". Well no more! I have been driving foreign cars for the last 20 years, but decided to look at the new Cadillac's which appealed to my eye, but what about build and performance? The quality so far is letter perfect. The car runs on regular fuel and the dealer service was as good as Lexus or any other foreign car. They finally got it right. Step on the gas and you really don't believe there's a 6 under the hood. No need for the optional V8 here. The other day, the "car" informed me that the front left tire had low (23psi) pressure. There was a nail in my tire. How about that? This truck has safety too.

I traded in a 2001 Mercedes-Benz C320 for this vehicle. We needed more room because we just had a new baby and all the car seats wouldn't fit. I also wanted something with better handling in the winter than the Mercedes. So I picked the SRX-we added the dual DVD players-so the kids would be thrilled. I got the car with the AWD, which will be great in these harsh upstate NY winters. The only thing I really dislike is the horrible gas mileage. We have taken a few highway roadtrips, and are only averaging 17 mpg highway. Other than that this car is just like an SUV, more room, great layout, family friendly and the sunroof is amazing! I read some reviews here before I bought the SRX and these helped decide me!

SRX - Return of the Station Wagon

I bought a Cadillac SRX because of it's style and because I didn't want to get another Lexus SUV. The SRX is a dream to drive. It is more comfortable than a Lexus and it has superior handling (no fear of rollover on turns). But, I miss the Japanese common-sense engineering. The location of the AC, heater, and rear window wiper controls on the SRX require your full attention (eyes off the road) when adjusting. You cannot avoid rubbing the backs of your legs on the rocker panels when exiting the car (this gets them very dirty when raining or snowing). There is no remote gas cap lid (you have to buy a locking gas cap like we did in the 70's). Lastly, the second row seats do not fold flat.

Overall, I am very pleased with Cadillac SRX. I have an AWD V6 version with all the extras. I have found the navigation system, which I find priceless,and my kids love the DVD system and the Ultraview roof. I love the handling of this SUV. It's very easy to drive and doesn't seem like I'm driving a truck. I have test driven other SUVs that are hard to manuever.

I have to admit that after test driving the Volvo XC90, Lexus RX330, and VW Tourag that I was impressed by the handling and quaility of the SRX. Comparing size, class, and options it is the best in class in my opinion. What's best about the Cadillac SRX is the the price beats the other 3 and the quality doesn't suffer. Finally an American SUV that competes with the others and can hold its ground. If you don't believe take it for a drive and feel the difference.

This is the first American car I've bought in 20 years. So far it has not had one single bug (unlike my BMW's that go computer out of control). I got every option available and love the huge sunroof, magnetic glide ride and Bose stereo system. The first generation satellite radio cut out all the time in the city. The only regret I have is the poor gas mileage. My SRX only gets 11 mpg in the city and 18.5 on the highway.

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.

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.

I just got my 2005 SRX today and found it to be a decent SUV. It has a very attractive exterior and a decent engine. But one you get inside everything disappoints. The "leather" felt more like vinyl and their is way to much rubber and plastic everywere. The entire interior felt cheap. Compared to my parents' Acura MDX has a much more luxurios feel and real leather. I found the engine to be annoyingly loud in comparison to the MDX. I did enjoy the handling of the SRX quite a bit though as it felt like I was driving my TL instead on a Minivan. My biggest gripe is the fact that my friend's Accord (and naturally my TL) are much more luxurious then this "Luxury" SUV. GM's gotta work on interiors.

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.

I compared thsi car with a host of SUV's in the same price/feature range (Lexus, BMW, Volvo, Acura, Mercedes). There was no question once I test drove this car. Handling is a dream! Power in the mountains (colorado) is remarkable and equals the turbo charged Saab 9.5se that my wife drives. Excellent comfort/interior for driver and passengers. Learning the computer and all its features is a bit time consuming and somewhat complicated. visability (rear side views from driver seat) is not great.

I love driving this car! The Ultraview sunroof is superior feature! The handling and comfort add up to pure luxury. My 6'2" son tells me the back seat is most comfortable he's been in.

We recently leased this car and are very pleased with it. I traded in my Escalade because it was too big and not good in gas mileage. The SRX has everything that we need and came fully loaded with the exception of the navigation and DVD system. We have are own. It is fun to drive and easy to figure out with the included CD. We love the looks of the car and so does everyone else. There is no other car like it as I have been looking at smaller SUVs and none of them have the cargo space or the looks and options such as the SRX. The 6 Cyl/AWD is great. I have no complaints with this car. The dealership is great as well as the employee discount. This is my first lease program. Works out great!

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.

I find the SRX to be very comfortable, easy to drive, and convenient for traveling or shopping. It handles well and feels secure, even on slippery or snow covered roads in winter. I really would have liked to have the pull-out visor extensions on the sun visors...they are not really a luxury, but a necessity, at times. Occasionally, the electrical system goes out of whack, unlocking the doors for no reason while I am driving. If I leave a door open for a long time, as when unloading groceries, the memory goes out and I have to reprogram my seat position controls. Occasionally, the sunroof sticks open, but I have always been able to get it working by myself. Other than that, I love it.

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 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.

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

After using the SRX for over 1 year, I still feel very pleased with my decision to buy one. The commodity of getting in and out of the SRX separtes it from most SUV's. On many occasions I have received very possitive comments from people of all ages regarding the looks of this vehicle.

My 2005 Cadillac SRX is still a new vehicle, but so far so great! It has a very cool and unique looking exterior design. I have the V6, which seems to have plenty of power for this vehicle. The enormous sunroof is amazing. It has plenty of room inside, but not a huge SUV feel. It also has a very smooth ride on the highway, a terrific sound system (Bose), and rich looking interior. I haven't tested it in much snow yet, I but am confident it's all I need.

The 2005 Cadillac SRX is a lovely car and lots of fun to drive. Do not, however, get the third seat unless you regularly transport children. it is not good for adults, and the alternate, lots of nifty little hampers, is very welcome. Cadillac will practically give you the car if you don't want the sun roof, so think that over. (It's awesome, however, for those that like sun roofs.) After six months, I may have used the navigation system three times, all in the first two weeks. For us, OnStar is a must, and we actually used it in an emergency.
