2013 Cadillac SRX Luxury 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
The SRX handles well, especially on highways; but visibility is an issue. The rear view mirror is too small. Probably the worst I have dealt with but I suspect the size is such because of the side "pillars" which can obscure your view. So you really need those side mirrors that light up to warn you when a car is passing. Having the defensive driving add-in helps. Plus my model has a … driver's seat that vibrates should you start to drift into another lane. On the highway, I have managed to get 24 mpg. The CUE system needs some major improvements as it is totally non-intuitive nor can apps be added to it which I believe is a big mistake. And the HD radio can drift which makes it difficult to hold on to a station. Storage in the rear compartment is excellent. No spare tire, just a can of stuff that you use to halt a leak/puncture as you then limp in for help. I have had a few problems with the power driver's seat. The seat refused to drop down. It was repaired, unsuccessfully, several times. Finally, I insisted the seat and power mechanism be replaced. But after I left the car with the dealer, who promised to drive it and prove the repairs worked, I received a call informing me the entire seat and all would be replaced. I still enjoy the car but my wife isn't as enthusiastic. Actually, she hates it. She finds she can't cope with the rearview mirror. She drives an Audi Q5. I like the way the SRX handles, and it is great for highway driving and holds the road well for a front wheel drive car. This Caddy is still a road winner. A friend bought the new XT5 and I have noticed some good tweaks, but this model is still great to drive but I have wished at times there was more storage in the back. Time has passed but the car is still a winner with me. As I take care of my cars, the SRX looks new. I'd like to trade it in for a new XT5 but I can't come up with a good enough reason. It's good that I like this car.
2013 SRX an electronic nightmare
Dissatisfied, Osprey, FL, 09/06/2018
2013 Cadillac SRX Luxury 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
I purchased this CPO vehicle 1 1/2 years ago with 42k miles on it. I was in love until the nightmare began. The car would be dead and had to be towed endless times. One major electronic component began to fail one after the other. It even died one time while driving it. Very unreliable. My beautiful vehicle I was so proud to drive, so proud to own has let me down. Now that the new XT5 … has come out and replaced the SRX the value of my SRX has plummeted below my loan amount. I believe my particular vehicle is probably a lemon. I don’t see from other blogs about the 2013 luxury SRX FWD that all the problems I have had are very common.
Ride with style

2013 Cadillac SRX Luxury 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Classy look inside & out. Love the touch screen controls or voice command options. I did have to take the car in for engine work within the first week after I bought it. The work was fully covered by the factory warranty!
poor visibility
