  • The SRX is Simply the Best - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    The 2005 Cadillac SRX is smooth,speedy, and agile. It is great fun to drive with performance that may startle you. If youre looking for a beautiful, refined, performance SUV with great styling; drive this one. This might be the best vehicle that Ive ever owned.

    Fine all purpose SUV type car. Good on the road and in town. Best styled of all SUVs. So many of the others look alike - the SRX is the only SUV people comment favorably the design. Have taken it around Montana in the summer and Texas in the winter.

  • Great Car!! - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    This is the second SRX I have owned. The 2005 is a nice upgrade from the 2004. This car gets lots of looks! On the road gas milleage is 22 MPG, not bad for 320 HP engine. Love the car.

  • Bug free for 2 years - 2005 Cadillac SRX

    This is the first American car Ive purchased in 25 years and I cant believe it hasnt had a single bug or problem with it. This is a first in any car Ive ever owned! Used to Drive Lexus and BMW but ill stick with Cadillac since the car has been dependable and America needs my business.

Radio and 6 CD changer caused digital trip reset was repl under warranty. Performance RWD V8-315 HP w/ 5 spd trans in city and on fwy ~comparable to 1999 FWD V8-300 HP Cad DeVille Concours w/ 4 spd trans SRX more agile, more responsive, more fun to drive, but ~10% less MPG. Declined dealer computer re-flash (not mfgr recall) after noting Cad Forum impacts on braking & performance. It also fits in my garage.

  • Everything you need to know but.... - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    After studying the data available and test driving numerous SUVs, I bought the SRX. And, I havent been disappointed. Put it through its paces on a twisty road and although not up to my C5 Vette standard it was alot of fun. The interior is very roomy and quiet with great visibility.

  • Very Reliable - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I have had my 2005 SRX for two years and have driven over 30,000 miles. I have only returned to the dealer for oil changes and tire rotation. This is a very reliable and pleasurable vehicle to drive. The build quality is excellent. I would recommend this car to anyone seeking a luxury crossover.

  • Best Crossover Available - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I drove all of the competition (M3 & 5, Mazda CX-7, Acura RDX, Nissan Murano, VW Touareg, Mercedes R350, Chrysler Pacifica, Ford Freestyle) and went back to the Caddy dealer. This is the most fun to drive large vehicle Ive ever owned and this is the 30th car/truck Ive had in 35 years. My Vette was more fun to drive but not worth a darn for hauling groceries and lousy in the snow. Its fit and finish are excellent and I love the edgy styling, it doesnt look like all of the other cookie cutter, big rounded box SUVs on the road. Drive one, you wont be disappointed.

  • Love this SUV! - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    After test driving several, very uncomfortable SUVs, I got in the SRX, accelerated, and drove off the lot the very same day!

  • 2005 SRX V6 AWD - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I had an Acura TSX prior to this and compared to it, honestly I have more fun and driving experience overall in this SRX. Granted I know I do not get the looks that I would get in my Acura, but that is a good thing to kinda blend in, in the way that the SRX performs. I am glad I purchased the vehicle and I am looking forward to seeing the new 2007 model and contemplate on going to the V8 model. I drove the 2006 V8 model and didnt really notice a huge difference in power, except when passing at hwy speeds is the only time noticed a bit more performance, but this is not major as I easily hit high speeds when passing in the V6 model. I hope this helps.
