  Perfect size - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By GRC - August 14 - 5:46 pm

  Having been the driver of Duallys, trucks and large SUVs over the last 20 years, I am delighted with the roomy compactness of the SRX. I still feel high enough up off the road to be comfortable, and I dont worry about an entire Honda Accord (or the like) being obscured & hidden in the blind spots as is the case with driving large SUVs. The SRX wheels into the smallest of parking spaces with as much ease as any small car. It handles effortlessly and is a pleasure to drive. Cadillac appears to still be King of Bells & Whistles.

  MY LEMON?I - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By BUD MASTERSON - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE(MY 4TH SUV)FOR JUST OVER A MONTH. AT 23 MILES, THE FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE RECUT, THE LEFT FRONT STRUT REPLACED-NEVER EVEN HIT A BUMP. IN THE SHOP FOR 4 DAYS. BEFORE 1600 MILES, THE LEFT FRONT SPRING? HAD TO BE REPLACED-THE VEHICLE WAS LEANING(6 INCHES MORE RR WHEEL SPACE)FAR TO THE LEFT. ALSO HAD A CONTINUING BAD FRONT END SQUEEK. SLAP SHIFT TRANNY MUCH OF THE TIME WONT GO INTO STICK MODE FROM AUTO MODE WHILE DRIVING- ANOTHER 4 DAYS IN THE SHOP. THE DEALER WAS ALWAYS TERRIFIC-BUT WHY DOES A BRAND NEW CADDY HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS ALREADY-VERY SCARRY. HOPEFULLY ITS FUTURE IS BETTER

  The special aftermarket packages u need - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By fjordan - July 14 - 8:20 pm

  right, there are 2 pacakges you definitely need to add in addtional to the bare-bone base model (V6 RWD). 1. luxury package . (Not lux-performance pkg, which is a hoax and buy you nothing more than more cost of gasoline...) 2. After market: wood-view package. the reason is that the original design of SRXs central panel is a bit blackish, and the added flavor of wood trim will make the interior 200% more gorgeous, classic and impressive. Beyond these 2 packages, the Caddy SRX seats are just as comfortable as any mercedes. The acceleration is the best in the bunch as compared with Porsche Cayenne or X5.

  Best bang for the buck - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By BPatel - June 23 - 3:42 pm

  Bought Used SRX, got a very good deal as American cars depreciate a lot. But so far enjoy the ride and features. It Drives like a Sport sedan, Handles like one and it does get noticed in parking lots. Seats are very comfortable, 3rd row is good for kids. UltraView SunRoof has kept kids happy to watch high rises, stars and planes! Bose Audio reproduces every note on the CD. Gives Decent fuel economy

  oil and water - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By dave - June 6 - 12:27 pm

  i really like the car, but like someone else commented on the oil, my oil disappeared. about 2500 miles into a mobil 1 oil change. no leaks, not burning. (was told that the sync. oil might be geting through seals) that bothers me. also the tailgate leaks, dlr. couldnt fix it. i will someday. other than that. love it.

  quite a few problems - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Sameer Sinha - March 13 - 5:25 pm

  I purchased this new. youd expect a $55,000 will be flawless but that i snot the case quite a few mechnical problems. Suspension noise- got replaced, driveshaft seal noise, exhaust system noise, troque converter noise, audio replced twice. interior bracket and clips replced. When it is not in the shop it is awesome. rides great, not a great touring car due to uncomfortable rea seats.

  Poor V6 Engine Quality - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Allen Mason - January 21 - 2:50 pm

  Bought the SRX in 05. I loved the car until Mar 08. First it ran hot was towed to dealer that replaced water pump for $300. 2 months later she was driving the car and it started shaking. She took it to the dealer that checked the oil and said it was over three quarts low. They added oil and charged $117. The engine never leaked or smoked, so where did the oil go. Thee dealer could not tell us . In 2 weeks the check engine light came on. Took to dealer who ran diagnostic and found a cyl was damaged due to low oil. The car was always serviced at dealer with Mobil 1. Tried to get new engine for $8000, but none found, even by two dealers. Finally had a local garage install a used one for $2,800

  Dont buy one - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By john - January 16 - 4:33 pm

  This thing is not worth spit. It has way too many reliability problems mainly with the so called "computer". Ours went out, they replaced it, then the gas gage indicator stopped working so they reset the computer, then the turn signals stopped and they could not duplicate it then we lost oil but the computer never told us and the dealer didnt know why. We traded it in on a Subaru Forester. The trade-in number was a surprise because it is so low! GM should go bankrupt putting out this SRX crap for too many bucks. We had 40K miles on it and in the shop 6 times!
