Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Potent engine lineup, roomy and comfortable interior, optional third-row seat, excellent ride and handling dynamics.

Cons

Questionable interior design and materials, missing key convenience features, mediocre fuel mileage with V8.

What’s new

No major changes for the SRX this year.

Edmunds says

Roomy on the inside and a superb handler on the street, the SRX is a desirable alternative to the premium import crossover SUVs.

2005 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)

I purchased this new. you'd expect a $55,000 will be flawless but that i snot the case quite a few mechnical problems. Suspension noise- got replaced, driveshaft seal noise, exhaust system noise, troque converter noise, audio replced twice. interior bracket and clips replced. When it is not in the shop it is awesome. rides great, not a great touring car due to uncomfortable rea seats.

I'm 62 years old and worse car I've ever owned

2005 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

I bought this car new in 2005, first 4 months it went through 5 or the dashboard computers.

This was supposed to be my dream car and instead has become …

2005 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

I was in love with my 05 SRX until I started having major problems. I have replaced the Catalytic Converter,The Transmission and there is a definite problem with the engines that treats oil like water! General Motors has always had a bad reputation for the quality of the automobiles they deliver and as far as I am concerned ,I am very disappointed in the major problems consumers are …

2005 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

This is the first Cadillac I ever owned, bought it used from carmax and love it. I never had the oil problem I read about, in fact I change my oil every 5,000 miles and had no problem at all with it. Good over the road, drove it from Los Angeles to Sacramento a few times and had a nice trip every time.
