  • Best one I ever owned - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    By far the best I ever owned. We traded a Highlander on this SRX, worlds of difference. Fun to drive, probably the safest SUV on the market. I can see why its SUV of the year two years running. We opted for the storage as opposed to the third row seating as we are empty nesters. The V-6 is quick and smooth, the only improvement could be a automatic rear door. The ultraview is great. Best SUV we ever owned. Employee pricing makes it even better! Great car, great deal, makes driving fun again!

    I was amazed to find that the rear storage does hold golf clubs either across or front to back in the storage area without putting down the 2nd row seats.

    My Cadillac SRX is a fun SUV that does not drive and feel like a truck. The 6-cyl. engine is very fast and all I need for the road. I also like it that there are not many of these on the road everywhere and people want to know what is it. It looks clean and has the Cadillac quality and prestige.

  • Switched and proud - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    This is the first American vehicle I have purchased and I couldnt be happier! Couldnt resist the deal (everyone buys @ employee price) and the style and performance leave nothing to be desired. Just returned from a 2,800 mile road trip and the vehicle performed flawlessly! Gas mileage is 23+ MPG, the stereo and rear seat entertainment system lived up to their promises. The comfort is second to none. Seats, driving position quietness, etc. make this a family hauler bar none. Handling in the mountains was sure footed and confidence inspiring. Get lots of lucks of approval and/or admiration. If this car performs well over time, I will switch to American with the other one as well.

  • Our SRX saved our lives - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    While traveling South to Florida,we had a very bad accident in our brand new SRX. We hit the guard rail, went airborn into the northbound lane on I 95 in Virginia and then rolled over 8 times, hit a tractor trailer truck twice and landed, straped in our seat belts, in the car but upside down on the roof. The car was demolished but the passenger section had about 3 feet of room between us and the bottom of the car. We both had very significant injuries but when the police arrived on the scene they expected to find fatalities not people who were alive. Our dog was in a dog car seat in the second row and she survived with NO injuries. We have replaced the car (even the same color). Love the car.

  • Cadillac SRX - Great Vehicle - 2005 Cadillac SRX

    The SRX has just the right amount of storage space for our frequent trips to the sunny south. The ride and handling is excellent. The step-in height is a little high, for a small person. Plenty of power in all conditions. Gas mileage good for a 4,400 lb. vehicle. The large sunroof is great, but for highway driving its to windy and you need the additional pop-up 3rd row seat conventional sunroof only.

    I researched my next vehicle for over a year. Glad I picked the SRX. It has the 3rd row seat for times we need extra room and has great handling. Never thought Id want a Cadillac but theyre on a roll lately with the new designs. Only have had for a month but were rolling up the miles.

    I compared thsi car with a host of SUVs in the same price/feature range (Lexus, BMW, Volvo, Acura, Mercedes). There was no question once I test drove this car. Handling is a dream! Power in the mountains (colorado) is remarkable and equals the turbo charged Saab 9.5se that my wife drives. Excellent comfort/interior for driver and passengers. Learning the computer and all its features is a bit time consuming and somewhat complicated. visability (rear side views from driver seat) is not great.

  • Take it back - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    In the 15 months Ive owned this car it has been in the shop over 45 days. The large sunroof rattles. Replaced it and still not good. Im on the 3rd. radio. Still bad. Dead battery problems. The wipers squeak. Dealer cant fix it. There is a burning smell in the car and GM states there is no problem but they suspect the hoses. Amazing. This car is nothing but a rattle trap. Ive had more problems with this car than any other car I have. I have an attorney and am going for the Lemon Law in Michigan.

  • Company Vehicle - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    Overall, vehicle is fun to drive and very functional in all weather conditions. The six-cylinder engine privides ample power and the seating is fine for four adults. ( without the added third seat ) gas mileage averages around 20 mpg. I would consider another SRX when my lease is up on this one.
