  • 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.

    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

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Best Luxury Performance SUV out there - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    Compared the SRX to the X5 and Cayenne it won hands down. Excellent combination of style, versatility, and performance. The ride is a lot smoother than the competition without a handling penalty. The third seat is also somehting else that comes in handy at times that no one else in the class seems to offer. The SRX has plenty of gadgets to keep anyone busy and the Ultraview roof is a must have option. So far the car has been solid and dealership service has been excellent. Also note that the SRX can run on regular fuel which is a nice cost savings at the pump
