  • The 2005 Cadillac SRX is My Favorite Vehicle - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    The 2005 Cadillac SRX is a wonderfully comfortable vehicle to drive. The 6-cyclinder engine could be a little peppier, espectially when getting onto highways. I found the steering to be tight and excellent.

    Acquired this V6-SRX-RWD in June for my wife. Im "breaking it in" for her; But, truth be told,I cant part with it. The 5-speed auto SNAPs off the shifts with precision if I need to get on it. The V6s variable valve timing pumps torque right out of the chute and hits 255 ft/lbs around 2800RPM. Feels like my Mustang-GT. And it can run nicely on regular gas. Build quality is excellent! Seams are all in alignment: no gaps. Excellent seats and power adjustments. Stock stereo rocks. Handling and ride really surprised me. Much better than any GM product Ive been around. European feel. Only 3800 miles so far but only one problem. Cadillac has a software bug: the two trip meters zero out

    I have purchased 8 new vehicles over the past 12 years and this is by far the best handling car. We just love it.

  • From the Caribbean - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    After using the SRX for over 1 year, I still feel very pleased with my decision to buy one. The commodity of getting in and out of the SRX separtes it from most SUVs. On many occasions I have received very possitive comments from people of all ages regarding the looks of this vehicle.

  • I Love my Car! - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I find the SRX to be very comfortable, easy to drive, and convenient for traveling or shopping. It handles well and feels secure, even on slippery or snow covered roads in winter. I really would have liked to have the pull-out visor extensions on the sun visors...they are not really a luxury, but a necessity, at times. Occasionally, the electrical system goes out of whack, unlocking the doors for no reason while I am driving. If I leave a door open for a long time, as when unloading groceries, the memory goes out and I have to reprogram my seat position controls. Occasionally, the sunroof sticks open, but I have always been able to get it working by myself. Other than that, I love it.

  • Best Vehicle that Ive Owned - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I love my Cadillac SRX. Driving it through the north Virginia mountains with the roof open in late spring was a great vacation.

  • Not Very Good - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    My 05 Cadillac SRX makes terrible noises that dealerships cant locate. The noises sound like grinding metal.

  • Dont Buy - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    The Cadillac SRX is a rattle trap. The moonroof creeks, rattles, and pops. The front rattles over slight bumps. My car went to the dealer for a lube job that only lasted for a month and then tje rattles came back. This vehicle rides like a pickup truck. It does have plenty of power and handles nicely. It is not worth the money.

  • Great Ride - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    My 2005 Cadillac SRX is the best vehicle I have ever owned! No other Crossover SUV is even close to the ride and comfort of my Cadillac SRX. I test drove the BMW and Benz before buying my SRX and the SRX is head and shoulders above the other two. Believe it or not this is the first American car that I have ever owned! Great job by Cadillac with this vehicle.

  • One year old and not one bug or repair - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    This is the first American car Ive bought in 20 years. So far it has not had one single bug (unlike my BMWs that go computer out of control). I got every option available and love the huge sunroof, magnetic glide ride and Bose stereo system. The first generation satellite radio cut out all the time in the city. The only regret I have is the poor gas mileage. My SRX only gets 11 mpg in the city and 18.5 on the highway.
