Cadillac SRX owner comments - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By Tom C. - May 12 - 2:29 pmWeve driven the SRX 3,000 miles since the purchase 45 days ago. 1/3 of it on a long trip the remainder has been city driving. We use the speed control whenever possible and avoid rabbit starts in stop and go driving. Both my wife and I have 50 years of driving experience, most of it with GM and Toyota vehicles. We have the six cylinder model and optional rear seats so it seats 7.

Its Not A GMC Denali! - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By Fred - May 9 - 7:26 pmHad 2004 GMC Denali before this I got my 2005 SRX V6 AWD - Likes: ride / drives well, looks great. Dislikes: city mileage is only about 14.5 MPG. I do not like the wide door stills! Its very hard to get into and out of the vehicle without getting dirt on your pants. This is not good! On the first weekend, I washed the vehicle and had a major water leak in the left upper corner of the windshield and ran down onto the dash, nice for new car. But they did fixed it! Why a 3:91-1 final drive (ratio)? RPM is approx. 2,300 - 2,400 at 70 MPH.

Great Drive and Performance...But - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By J.Dillon - May 6 - 8:16 pmMany areas of concern. Navigation/Radio/Dic system is a mess. Poor lighting-impossible to control. No compass. Clock-temperature characters are too small. Needs to be completely redsigned. Cant program so that doors wont lock when in gear. Very dangerous. Front seats are very hard and uncomfortable. My passengers share this view. Cant open back window which is a design flaw. Rear hatch door is heavy. Should be able to "pop" it open. Would like to have true keyless entry like Ford products with combination numbers on exterior of car. Car drives and handles very well. If GM fixes the above issues I will trade for another. If not, I will trade for a Ford product this fall.

15 months and still Loving It - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By Tom - May 6 - 1:05 amWeve owned our 6-cyl. AWD SRX for 15 months now and absolutely love it. The look and design are real head turners, and the ride and performance are awesome. Some minor glitches had to be fixed inthe first year (software recalls), but mechanically the vehicle has been wonderful, fit and finsh excellent. Best features are the superior ride, tight handling and great ultraview sun roof. Basically its my wifes car, but I love getting to drive it on the weekends.

SRX review - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By herproudmom - April 28 - 12:31 amThis vehicle is very comfortable while sporty at the same time. The third row seat and DVD system rocks as my little girl so frequently says. The traction control and stability system is great. I really cant say anything bad....

New Cadillac SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By del rae - April 27 - 11:41 pmThe wife and I love this truck. The only thing we think they could have do better on the door interior door panels should have a leather trim or some thing we looked at a inf and a Lexus but not happy with the lack of power. I drive a 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 1/2 ton hemi and love it as you can see the wife likes power.

My SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By njfla - April 21 - 5:56 pmA great vehicle to drive, holds the road well, comfortable, plenty of room for 5 adults, a dog, gifts, 2 suitcases and a ham to travel 300 miles on Christmas. Mileage 23 MPG highway, 16 and a half around town. Not bad!

SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By Ray Prokorym - April 21 - 1:21 pmGreat all around vehicle. Super performance in the wet conditions of the Pacific NW. All wheel drive is able to effectively utilize the 320 HP. Handles and stops excellent. Great utility and use of space, excellent visibility out for rear seat passengers including third row kids seat. Makes the vehicle seem more roomy.

Good vehicle - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By Frank McElveen - April 14 - 11:32 pmGood SUV, comparable to my wifes Lexus Rx300. More power, less engine noise, better handling, even more quiet. The additional woodgrain package is a must for appearance...makes it look $1,000 better. Needs the same addition that was placed on the Lexus. A bummper cover in the rear to keep marks off of the top of the bumper. Very good vehicle so far, 2,500 miles.

Excellent SUV - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By abc - April 9 - 2:26 pmAlthough its a large car, I feel like Im driving a luxury vehicle rather than an SUV. Its a great feeling after 9 years of heavy SUV driving. Cadillac, you did it!
