i really like the car, but like someone else commented on the oil, my oil disappeared. about 2500 miles into a mobil 1 oil change. no leaks, not burning. (was told that the sync. oil might be geting through seals) that bothers me. also the tailgate leaks, dlr. couldn't fix it. i will someday. other than that. love it.

15 months and still Loving It

We've owned our 6-cyl. AWD SRX for 15 months now and absolutely love it. The look and design are real head turners, and the ride and performance are awesome. Some minor glitches had to be fixed inthe first year (software recalls), but mechanically the vehicle has been wonderful, fit and finsh excellent. Best features are the superior ride, tight handling and great ultraview sun roof. Basically its my wife's car, but I love getting to drive it on the weekends.

Love my SRX

Since I already owned a Cadillac SLS and a small motor home for traveling, I purchased the SRX for the utility aspect that I needed, instead of a small pickup truck. With the 3rd row seats folded down, the SRX gives me plenty of room to haul small to medium loads. I disagree with Edmunds review of the inside. The wood trim inside as well as the GPS makes my SRX look very impressive. All my friends are blown away by the appearance of the inside as well as the body style. It is the best handling vehicle I have ever owned. It has quick response, excellent stability control, automatic all wheel drive drive in case I get stuck in the Florida sand. Ultra view moon roof is such a luxury.

Not Pleased

I have enjoyed my SRX and like any other car it needed to be serviced, but this one has been in more than I had hoped. I believe Cadillac makes sound vehicles, but need to improve the quality of their dealership mechanical services. I was in 5 times just for a seat belt issue. The car also blew a cylinder at about 20,000 miles and the dealership failed to replace the oil in the vehicle when they repaired it. Had to bring it in again. They blamed it on me. Used 3 different dealerships over the so far and was not happy with any. Never had this type of problem with other makes of vehicle that I owned. Won't purchase another one because of the dealership service.

Great all around vehicle. Super performance in the wet conditions of the Pacific NW. All wheel drive is able to effectively utilize the 320 HP. Handles and stops excellent. Great utility and use of space, excellent visibility out for rear seat passengers including third row kids seat. Makes the vehicle seem more roomy.
