Don't be lured by luxury!
I have read many reviews regarding the SRX, nearly all of them positive. However.... I have owned my 2006 for just over 2 years now and can't even count the number of times I've had to take it to the shop for major repairs. These include the panorama sun roof not closing, the wheel bearings needing to be replaced not once but twice, check engine light coming on for reasons the shop was unable to duplicate (of course!), electrical issues causing the engine to quit and the final straw-no compression to the engine, which required a tow to the dealership, a call to GM, and more than a week's worth of repairs. I have absolutely had it with this car! $6000+ in repairs in 2 years? Not acceptable.
I can't believe I LOVE a car!
My SRX is the most comfortable car I have ever owned including the Yukon! I get 24-28 MPG highway,18 city. most stylish, classy car on road. Seats, panorama roof, back seats, stereo,are great! 3rd row is for kids not adults! Am going to purchase new one in 2010 in red! Drives great in snow (Chicago) & rain. Handles like a dream with the two different size tires on front and back, ingenious idea. Picks up very quickly great maneuverability, awesome stereo. I tried the Porsche Cayenne, Volvo, Mdx, Lexus 300 & BMWX3,5 none compared to SRX that's why it was Car of the year 2006! Great job Cadillac! Finally it takes 87 gas, what a extra bonus esp. now!!! Ha, Ha BMW

Please help me fix my steering and brake lights
The problems started with the steering locking up when you were taking off and turning sharp at the same time. Now it doesn't lock up but the tc,abs,and brake lights stay on in the instrument panel. Also the brake lights in back stay lit up and the steering is hard. I paid a mechanic for diagnosis test he gave me a print out current code C0550 ecu malfunction. The thing is he has just bought the equipment to do the test and he doesn't know how to make the repairs. I need to try and fix this issue myself. At least some of it. And I just got this car paid for I can't afford to pay for dealership repairs

Psychological lift at the end of the day
This car is so fun to drive: it erases the memory of minor setbacks during the work day. My choice has satisfied my objectives of getting a fun to drive, cool, unique, AWD vehicle with heated seats. This car is easy to maintain and safe. To think I might have settled for a less inspired Japanese crossover. Thanks Cadillac!
Maintenance costs make it not worth it.
I bought this car used when it 7 years old and had 60k on it... not bad. I put ALOT of highway miles on it because my son lived 4 hours away (at the time). In the beginning it was a very smooth ride; very quiet, with power to spare. The next couple of years, however, has been full of major mechanical problems and the parts for this thing are really expensive. I would encourage anyone considering this car to reconsider and look elsewhere. The cost of oil changes alone can run from $70 to $100 a pop.
