Many areas of concern. Navigation/Radio/Dic system is a mess. Poor lighting-impossible to control. No compass. Clock-temperature characters are too small. Needs to be completely redsigned. Can't program so that doors won't lock when in gear. Very dangerous. Front seats are very hard and uncomfortable. My passengers share this view. Can't open back window which is a design flaw. Rear hatch door is heavy. Should be able to "pop" it open. Would like to have true keyless entry like Ford products with combination numbers on exterior of car. Car drives and handles very well. If GM fixes the above issues I will trade for another. If not, I will trade for a Ford product this fall.
IT IS A CADILLAC !!!

The Cadillac SRX is a rattle trap. The moonroof creeks, rattles, and pops. The front rattles over slight bumps. My car went to the dealer for a lube job that only lasted for a month and then tje rattles came back. This vehicle rides like a pickup truck. It does have plenty of power and handles nicely. It is not worth the money.
Oh No, not an SRX

If you plan to purchase a cadillac SRX, Please go to the bank and deposit $20k in a special maintenance account if you buy an SRX and keep it very long you will need it. Here is my experience. I inherited this 2005 SRX from my late uncle with only 62,000 miles in 2018. He only drove it a few thousand miles a year. He had it maintained at the dealership every 90 days whether it needed it or not. The maintenance records are with the vehicle. In one year I spent over over $7,000 in major maintenance costs including a timing chain, intake gasket, power steering pump, and new transmission. Now 5,000 miles later at just over 67,000 it blew a rod and needs completely overhauled or a new motor. Even with 67,000 miles and a new motor the trade in value is less than $5,000. What a disappointment from cadillac.

Bought the SRX in '05. I loved the car until Mar 08. First it ran hot was towed to dealer that replaced water pump for $300. 2 months later she was driving the car and it started shaking. She took it to the dealer that checked the oil and said it was over three quarts low. They added oil and charged $117. The engine never leaked or smoked, so where did the oil go. Thee dealer could not tell us . In 2 weeks the check engine light came on. Took to dealer who ran diagnostic and found a cyl was damaged due to low oil. The car was always serviced at dealer with Mobil 1. Tried to get new engine for $8000, but none found, even by two dealers. Finally had a local garage install a used one for $2,800
