  • Traded in MINIVAN!! - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I love my new SUV, the Cadillac SRX. After searching every midsize luxery SUV on the market, I found the one I really loved!! It was time to get rid of my Town & Country Limited minivan, and go back to an SUV owner.

  • Problems after warranty - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I loved my SRX 2005 until recently. I had a seat belt break. The laminant on the dash is peeling off. My sunroof rattles, and now I have water in the back compartment under the third seat which has caused my headrests to mildew and also my 3rd seat has some mildew areas. It has been a major inconvenience to find where it is leaking from. Ive read other reviews and on the 2004 model a few customers have had leaks under their 3rd seats from the sunroof. Has this been a problem for others. Maybe this is something Cadillac should look in to. Maybe there should be a recall on this problem before others have to deal with it.

  • Not Pleased - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I have enjoyed my SRX and like any other car it needed to be serviced, but this one has been in more than I had hoped. I believe Cadillac makes sound vehicles, but need to improve the quality of their dealership mechanical services. I was in 5 times just for a seat belt issue. The car also blew a cylinder at about 20,000 miles and the dealership failed to replace the oil in the vehicle when they repaired it. Had to bring it in again. They blamed it on me. Used 3 different dealerships over the so far and was not happy with any. Never had this type of problem with other makes of vehicle that I owned. Wont purchase another one because of the dealership service.

  • Pretty but always in the shop! - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    This car is fun to drive, great power, comfortable and always broken. Every two weeks this car must go in for a major repair (under warranty, thank goodness). Engine (oil leaks and consumption), tranny (went out twice in 2 weeks, factory replacements are terrible, second time they had a local shop rebuild it right), power steering, A/C 4x, drive shafts front and rear, rear differential, sun roof motor (still has intermittent problems), drivers seat and controls, paint (twice), weather striping (doors and sun roof), radio with control display, CD player, interior lights and switches. Im probably forgetting some stuff but I hope you get my point.

  • Nice car - 2005 Cadillac SRX

    Is it a car or is it a truck. I have had SUVs of shapes and sizes (mostly german). This is comfortable and powerful even as a 6.

  • Questionable Love Affair - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    My previous car fell apart @ 530,00 miles. After tons of research, I found my SRX & fell in love with the price & the great condition for being used. 36 days into owning it, on a weekend trip, it made some funny noises. We pulled over a lot, but other than the check emissions light, nothing appeared to be wrong. The next morning, I started it up & the engine sounded HORRIBLE! We checked the oil & there WASNT ANY! We put nearly 6qts of oil in it and took it to the dealer the next day. There wasnt any sign of a leak & the dealer said it hadnt used oil either. Its purred like a kitten ever since & no more oil loss. Has anyone had this happen to them or explain what might have happened?

    Ive never enojoyed driving a car so much. I feel like Im in a sports car but have the versatility of a SUV what can hold 7. I get oohs and ahhs wherever I go.

    WE have had our SRX for almost three Months and LOVE IT

  • Outstanding SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    Drove about 5 used SRXs before I selected this one. They all drive differently - mainly suspension. I particularly love the smoothness of acceleration and braking. Had wood steering wheel and console... added wood kit from dealer. Previously had a Mercury Mountaineer. Like the increased gas mileage - averaging 18.9 in mixed driving per the computer.

  • My 05 Certified SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    Have only owned this vehicle for 1 week! Got a certified 100,000 mile one with 40K miles. Turns heads. I am currently getting in mixed highway and street travel 20.8 miles per gallon. Very please compared to that of most SUVs. Handles very well when pushed too. Otherwise it is a very smooth highway cruiser. Nice alternative to my old SUV!
