Major Drain tube issues

I absolutely love the look of my 2011. I love the leather interior and entertainment features of this car. I also love the panoramic sun roof but the drain tubes are a BIG ISSUE and COSTLY FIX! These cars are known to have drain tube issues. The tubes stop up and cause the interior floorboards to get soaking wet. The car smells and the trunk fills with water which in turn burns out the lift gate module to burn out. Weve had to replace the module and now have to take it to the dealership to get reprogrammed. Also we have to replace all the drain tubes in the car now to secure that this hopefully will not happen again. SO.... before purchasing this car please research this issue that is KNOWN to happen to the Caddy SRX, All in all I do love my caddy but this is quite costly and insurance does not cover this problem and the dealership will not make it right even tho this is a common problem with this car.

european

This is the first American car I have owned in twenty years. Now I know why. The engine is awful and sounds like a lawn mower. It has zero power and has horrendous gas mileage. The transmission hunts when slowing down and is jerky. The suspension has no give, making all road imperfections a nightmare. All my previous cars were European and I ask myself why Cadillac did not hire some of the talent from their European subsidiaries to design a decent engine and transmission. Its back to the drawing board for Cadillac, and another ten years before i buy another one.

What's with the poor MPG

I had owned Infinity I30 and leased Lexus RX for 2 leased terms (6 yrs) without any complain and wish American autos would recapture some market shares from foreign cars. So I decided to lease SRX and have it for about 3 weeks with 550 miles on it. Combined mpg as per the car computer says less than 15 mpg, a far cry from the window sticker which says 17 & 23. This poor showing despite having a less powerful engine put into the car which sacrifices pick up power and supposedly giving better mileage. This leaves a lot to be desired and would require GM to improve this major short coming. Other than this, the car has been problem free so far and I hope I didn't make a bad decision.
