It isn’t all bad, but I’ll weigh it out for you. Pros: 1. The ultraview sunroof. It’s beautiful and terrible at the same time. Mine leaked. That was fun. 2. It’s a Cadillac. It’s comfy and the handling was great. Cons: 1. Sloppy Trans! The shifts are lazy and soft. Definitely not great even in sport mode which is a joke. 2. Power. Mine was the 3.0, I don’t know about the 3.6 but going up hills in this thing was not a treat. It makes you wonder am I going to end up flooring this thing to get up this hill? 3. Brake pedal feel. I hated the way it felt. You really had to put some effort if you wanted to stop. It was a little tiring after a while. 4. Overall reliability. Timing chain failed on mine. Common for these. Engine had to be replaced before 90k miles. If you buy one of these, change the oil religiously. But sometimes that doesn’t seem to help. 5. Headlight are a joke! Cadillac recalled the headlights they sucked so much. To be honest, it was a comfortable highway cruising money pit.

I traded a 2007 DTS in for this SRX to hold me until the new XTS arrives next year. I'm not a Crossover person, but this is a really nice change. Fit and finish is perfect, and the optional Crystal Red I ordered is a real eye catcher. Seats are too firm, but I can live with it. The engine leaves a lot to be desired, but it's fair. Rides like a luxury should, but very noisy when you need to pass, or merge on the freeway from the underpowered engine. Poor fuel mileage with about 16'5 tops in city driving. At 6' there's plenty of leg room, and some to spare. Difficult to program different things i.e. radio etc.

Smooth, loaded, love it! Purchases from Premier Auto Haus in Downers Grove , IL salesperson was Mike. Great service Transaction was quick and easy. They paid to change the differential fluid with no problem and haven’t had any issues with the car. It rides like brand new. I purchased silver/ Black 2011 Cadillac SRX PREMIUM EDITION AWD. I paid $11,000 cash taxes included.

I recently bought an SRX so I can't really speak to reliability but ...It seems attention to detail is there, very nice interior and an excellent body. The pickup is excellent particularly with the autostick. Gas mileage is a bit disappointing but avoid the lead foot and use autostick and you should be fine. The trunk area is nice, and I particularly like the hidden large well which is lined so it is great for frozen items.I really like the fence divider on rails the trunk area has very handy (can stow in the well).
don't buy this year make and model of cadillac

the car shutters when driving slow, the dealer says its a design char. I call it a flaw and I have never had a car that shuttered when you turned the wheel. well let me take that back. I have but I replaced the power steering unit and I fixed it. I have a 2004 cts drives like a dream still. this car sucks. I just bought it and I cant believe this new steering unit is not powerfull enough to turn the wheels. I drive underground a lot to park the car and it shutters. I mean really. its a Cadillac it should be up to min. of industry standards if not exceed them. Hell I could of bought a Honda and not had this much trouble. I cant believe the dealer knows bout the steering and still sold me the car. they saw me coming. why not fix it for good then sell the car. not just pawn it off on another customer. Cadillac should not do that. Im frustrated the dealer wont help me. Im afraid im going to have to get legal help. the transmition geezh. it revs too high then when it shifts it gives you whiplash. it underpowered a poorly designed car. its a lemon. they wont admit it. don't buy this make and model get a cts instead.or if you want to get a suv buy anything else and certainly not this make and year. one nice thing about the car.... the sound system.. Period.
