This car is fun to drive, great power, comfortable and always broken. Every two weeks this car must go in for a major repair (under warranty, thank goodness). Engine (oil leaks and consumption), tranny (went out twice in 2 weeks, factory replacements are terrible, second time they had a local shop rebuild it right), power steering, A/C 4x, drive shafts front and rear, rear differential, sun roof motor (still has intermittent problems), drivers seat and controls, paint (twice), weather striping (doors and sun roof), radio with control display, CD player, interior lights and switches. I'm probably forgetting some stuff but I hope you get my point.

This car is a lemon to the nth degree!!! We bought this with 70,000 miles on it and it now has 118,000 miles on it and we have put over $9k in maintenance costs in this piece of junk (not including regular maintenance i.e oil changes, tune ups, etc.). Our car repair shop absolutely love us. We give them so much business!!! The SUV gives you the feel of a luxury vehicle with the rear parking assist, leather seats, center console display, OnStar, Sirius/XM capability, power seats, etc. but don't let that fool you. This car is a lemon and any dealership who sells these cars should be fined!!! My wife and I are hard working people just like the next people and we don't have the extra money to keep putting money into this piece of SH!+!!! That $9k could be going to a lot of other things like paying down other debt, putting more money into our children's college fund, funding our emergency fund, getting a better quality vehicle, etc. I wish I would have read more owner reviews before buying this car. One of the worst decisions of my life!!! PLEASE STAY AWAY AND IF A DEALERSHIP SELLS THIS VEHICLE STAY AWAY FROM THEM ALSO!!!

My 5th new cadillac best yet. This is a 2004, which I now have about 11,000 miles on. Zero problems so far. Rides and handles better than any other Cadillacs I had.

Beautiful Car, body style less bulky more streamline than the newer SRX. Excellent visibility which the newer vehicles lack Still have the Large Stylish Cadillac Safety Lights Front and Rear. The Cadillac Trademark Grill that holds its Luxurious Style more so than again the newer SRX

This vehicle is very comfortable while sporty at the same time. The third row seat and DVD system rocks as my little girl so frequently says. The traction control and stability system is great. I really can't say anything bad....
