  • Know Your Car!! - 2005 Cadillac SRX

    There seems to be a lot of frustration when it comes to the oil on this car. When you are driving a luxury car you need to keep up with certain things that you wouldnt need to in a Honda. I have my oil checked after every 100+ mile trip and topped off and get my oil change every 3,000 miles. Its a great reliable car with amazing handling. The gas mileage could be better but no complaints, again a high maintenance vehicle. You need to take care of it though, and commit to regular maintenance, if you cant then you shouldnt be buying luxury.

    Okay I love my SRX. I bought it just 5 months ago with 91k on it for trade in value! I cant believe i found a black on black and with the nice 18 in wheels and mine is the only one ive seen with SRX mudflaps on all for tires. I havent had much trouble with my caddy. it would jump when it idled so i took it in and just a cylinder was misfiring quick fix and my turn bulb had to be replaced. took it to a caddy dealer and they were horrible so i took it to a gmc dealer and they were great. ive put about 9k on it in the 5 months since i got it and i have to say is i only had about 1 quart of oil when i get it changed at 94k but you just have to watch ur oil. I Love My SRX nothing drives better

    Buying this SUV was an excellent choice. It is the perfect size, specifically when you have kids (it is not too tall.) The powered third row is a plus! The entertainment system is excellent, specifically the location of the DVD! However, it is noisy. You will hear everything around you even if you have the radio and AC on.

    Having been the driver of Duallys, trucks and large SUVs over the last 20 years, I am delighted with the roomy compactness of the SRX. I still feel high enough up off the road to be comfortable, and I dont worry about an entire Honda Accord (or the like) being obscured & hidden in the blind spots as is the case with driving large SUVs. The SRX wheels into the smallest of parking spaces with as much ease as any small car. It handles effortlessly and is a pleasure to drive. Cadillac appears to still be King of Bells & Whistles.

  • The special aftermarket packages u need - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    right, there are 2 pacakges you definitely need to add in addtional to the bare-bone base model (V6 RWD). 1. luxury package . (Not lux-performance pkg, which is a hoax and buy you nothing more than more cost of gasoline...) 2. After market: wood-view package. the reason is that the original design of SRXs central panel is a bit blackish, and the added flavor of wood trim will make the interior 200% more gorgeous, classic and impressive. Beyond these 2 packages, the Caddy SRX seats are just as comfortable as any mercedes. The acceleration is the best in the bunch as compared with Porsche Cayenne or X5.

  • Best bang for the buck - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    Bought Used SRX, got a very good deal as American cars depreciate a lot. But so far enjoy the ride and features. It Drives like a Sport sedan, Handles like one and it does get noticed in parking lots. Seats are very comfortable, 3rd row is good for kids. UltraView SunRoof has kept kids happy to watch high rises, stars and planes! Bose Audio reproduces every note on the CD. Gives Decent fuel economy

    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.

    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.
