  Barely a luxury SUV - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Triple R - August 9 - 7:46 pm

  I just got my 2005 SRX today and found it to be a decent SUV. It has a very attractive exterior and a decent engine. But one you get inside everything disappoints. The "leather" felt more like vinyl and their is way to much rubber and plastic everywere. The entire interior felt cheap. Compared to my parents Acura MDX has a much more luxurios feel and real leather. I found the engine to be annoyingly loud in comparison to the MDX. I did enjoy the handling of the SRX quite a bit though as it felt like I was driving my TL instead on a Minivan. My biggest gripe is the fact that my friends Accord (and naturally my TL) are much more luxurious then this "Luxury" SUV. GMs gotta work on interiors.

  4,000 Miles & Counting - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Frank - August 6 - 8:28 pm

  Only negatives include less than optimum visability with rear seats in up position, cargo shade/cover not very durable and limited storage space in real area. The ride at slow and high speeds is exceptional, pick up great and overal handling above average. We just returned from a trip that started in the Atlanta area, to Cleveland, Ohio, Milwaukee, WI, Indianapolis Indiana, through Kentucky, Tennessee and back to Georgia without a hitch. It is just a fun vehicle to drive.

  Back in a Cadillac - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Richard Guizlo - August 5 - 10:17 am

  After a ten year hiatus, I decided to give Cadillac another shot, and so far Im really glad I did. I am really enjoying my SRX. It is a great ride, and so far I have zero complaints. I chose the SRX over BMW X-5 and Infiniti FX35 because I couldnt see paying that much more for those.

  Porsche owner buys the Caddy - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By francosuisse - August 2 - 6:48 pm

  As an owner of a Porsche 911 C4, I was going to buy a Cayenne S. But after I test-drove both the Porsche and the Cadillac SRX, there was no hesitation anymore. The SRX feeling on the road is much better than the Cayenne (probably the magentic ride control). I also add the impression that it was better performing than the Porsche (esp. the auto 5-speed transmission is better tuned to the engine).

  Troy - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Troy - July 31 - 9:12 pm

  The Cadillac SRX has great utility and curb appeal and it drives like a sports car rather than like a truck. It has more power than all other SUVs except for the Poirsche Cayenne.

  SRX survey - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Edye Weller - July 30 - 10:25 pm

  This SRX is so easy to drive and handle, also on long road trips and so very comfortable. Loved the memory seats. the lift gate is easy to close and I am 5. The back of the SRX has a plug in for a small refrigerator and we use it when we travel. We also like all the conviences for all the passengers, heat and air, all the storage and cubby holes for thing.

  Very Happy with First Cadillac - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By David F. - July 25 - 5:16 pm

  This is my first Cadillac and third SUV. So far very happy! My SRX is fully loaded with sunroof, navigation system and rear DVD. Eveything works great. Had a problem with a vibration in the center console, but my dealership fixed it right away. I wish it did have better gas millage, but with any SUV you should never expect great fuel economy.

  By slim63 - July 24 - 11:59 pm

  I have only had the vehicle for a week but so far it is the best Ive ever owned. Looked at the Lexus and BMW because of the 3rd row seat in them. The comfort and performance is amazing. Will update after a few months.

  Who says SUVs cant be comfortable? - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Albee - July 23 - 9:11 am

  My Grandfather used to drive his Caddy to Florida every year. I always thought of Caddies as "senior citizens vehicles". Well no more! I have been driving foreign cars for the last 20 years, but decided to look at the new Cadillacs which appealed to my eye, but what about build and performance? The quality so far is letter perfect. The car runs on regular fuel and the dealer service was as good as Lexus or any other foreign car. They finally got it right. Step on the gas and you really dont believe theres a 6 under the hood. No need for the optional V8 here. The other day, the "car" informed me that the front left tire had low (23psi) pressure. There was a nail in my tire. How about that? This truck has safety too.

  Interior - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Grant T - July 22 - 10:00 am

  Poor interior apearance, turn signal lever rough finish. Wood grain kit added really improved the interior apearance. Head rest on second row seats impair rear view on the interior mirror. For the price of this SUV, Cadilac could have done better on the interior.
