After reading the Editor's review for both the 2010 and the 2011 I was ready to scratch the SRX from my test drive models, despite the fact that I liked the styling of the SRX. I owned previous Cadillac's that had problems with quality. Cadillac had some difficult years, i.e., the four-six- eight cylinder year and the year they offered the diesel engine. However, after reading positive consumer reviews for both the 2010 and 2011 models I took a test drive. I was pleasantly surprised. So much surprised that I purchased the 2011 SRX luxury model. Thanks owners for your reviews, you were right on the money.

I've owned the car since new, it is garage kept. It's primarily my wife's car to drive to work, but for trips and to run errands we use my Dodge Durango , which is More comfortable and has far more storage than the Cadillac. In 100k miles we've had to fix the A/C four times, replace both front bearings (within a month of each other), replace the radio, rear backup camera, and the rear hatch struts. we’d replace the car, but it’s paid for. When we do replace it, it won’t be with another Cadillac... Thinking Lincoln Natalia or BMW X-5.

First off, I wanted this model badly, however I didn't research my purchase and it is now costing me. The roof drains tend to clog up and water pours inside when you get heavy rain. Dealer wants $1800 to fix. Water collects in the wheel well causing the rear hatch electronics to short out. Cost to fix $1100 t0 $1800. Headlights tend to fog up and water collects in the bottom of the headlights, Roof doesn't open any longer due to broken link in drive train Cost? $1100., FOB issues. With the fob in my hand the vehicle dash warning message reads "NO FOB DETECTED". FOB works all the door locks and windows but won't start the car. After a few minutes of fooling around with the FOB she'll start. Same thing on engine shut down. Vehicle can't find the FOB. It just seems that it's one thing after another with this model. When everything is working this vehicle gets great gas mileage and has stylish looks. Local Cadillac mechanic cant fix the FOB issue.

I haven't had this suv a year and it's by far the worse suv I ever owned. I have taken this suv in 10-15 times due to the idling. Every time I stop I get a horrible shake. I bought the suv because it was a CPO and no one seems to be able to know what's going on. I will get rid of this crappy suv this summer. Horrible Horrible Horrible!!!!!!

I had a 2011 Luxury Model. Sadly it was totaled by someone last month. This has been the best vehicle I’ve EVER owned! I want to repurchase another one but all vehicles have increased so much, I’m not sure that I can get another Cadillac. My heart breaks but you have got to do what is affordable. Considered a used one, but with what the other person’s insurance is giving me it would have to have too many miles or too many owners and we know what that means! So I’m so sad and it wasn’t even my fault the accident occurred 🥲
