  • A Real Looker - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I love the Cadillac exterior styling. I guess it is a love-it-or-hate-it thing! I bought it with 2,000 miles as certified used vehicle with a 100,000 mile warranty. It has already been on a 5,000 + mile round trip, and I have very few complaints. It performed well in all circumstances including snowy mountain roads in Colorado. The navigation system always gets you there, but not always by the best route.

  • Cadillacs best yet - 2005 Cadillac SRX

    This is my 16th Cadillac and I love it. It handles well, rides well. Holds the road great. Quieter than I expected it to be. Plenty of power to over take most vehicles on the road.

  • 2005 Cadillac SRX AWD V8 - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    The 2005 Cadillac SRX has excellent handling and is very quick and very stable in all driving conditions. The cabin is very comfortable, we have a 62" son who can sit comfortably in the back seat. We enjoy the sunroof a lot.

  • Dissapointed - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    The 2005 Cadillac SRX is a very nice truck if you own a gas station. With todays technolgy, 12 MPG city and 18 highway is unthinkable for this vehicle. A Tahoe gets better mileage! The sunroof is a very nice fearure, but the 3rd row seats are a joke.

  • Great car - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I have nothing but good things to say about my Cadillac SRX. It is fast enough for me and a comfortable road car. It has a functional interior and superb handling along with decent gas mileage.

  • Barely a luxury SUV - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    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.

  • Very Happy with First Cadillac - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    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.

  • Interior - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    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.

  • SRX Equals Fun - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    The SRX handles like a luxury sedan. The V8 engine is fast in its response and you can not tellhow fast your going as the handling is flawless. The SRX offers great visiability looking forward but has some interference due to third row headrests. The leather seats are adjustable to accomadate any size driver comfortably. The controls and guages are also conveniently displayed. The vehicle does lack some convenience storage space compared to other vehicles I have had. The up side is that I do not keep things in the vehicle I do not need for months on end.

  • Noisy, Spirited SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    Having had 9 Tahoes, I expexted a vehicle at least as quiet in the SRX. The AWD mated with the V6 is agile, spirited and fun to drive, but much busier sounding than our Trailblazer at 14 grand less. Fuel economy not much better than the Tahoe (the only reason I switched). Seats are superb, navigation system is great, but one needs the eyes of an eagle to read the clock & temp. Ultraview roof is a mixed bag, big open air feeling, noisy when open, creaks open or closed. Third row seat should not be powered, takes forever to raise and lower. Over all quality less than I had hoped for, but nothing major, just small annoyances. Can not believe XM radio and rain sensing wipers werent standard.
