  Class act - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Jan - February 26 - 7:39 am

  Have enjoyed my SRX on most levels. Fun to drive, great looking, easy to handle & the look and feel of understated elegence. I have purchased it fully loaded & what a joy it has been. The SRX appeals to all the drivers in the family with only one complaint by me, fuel consumption.

  Fine Performing SUV - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Gregg - January 22 - 6:47 pm

  My experience with this SUV has been nothing but satisfaction. I can see why its called a crossover type. It can please on all levels. It feels and drive like a fine car and can accelerate quickly and smoothly as a sport car. Spacious inside without looking big and gaudy on the outside. The body design is sporty looking and yet refined. I did not expect to even consider this vehicle because it was in its second year of production but the test drive simply left the competition behind. Not only is quality built under the hood but also is pleasure and comfort. We took a 1400 roundtrip and driving fatique was never a factor!

  Great truck - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Aleks - January 8 - 9:19 am

  Im an automotive plastics engineer. I also own a bike and race car. I am very critical of quality and performance in anything I own or drive. I also own an 06 Toyota 4 runner. Im happy to say that I am very impressed with the quality and performance of this truck. The seats are very comfortable, the glass roof (s) are very large with power shades on both, the transmission smooth, great handling, good power, good brakes, good sound system, nice extra features like little gloveboxes in doors, etc.. The only somewhat negatives: gas mileage, a couple of panels not so tight on the gap tolerances, odd slight valvetrain noise...and thats about it. Its a great vehicle. V8 a must too.

  Cadillac SRX 8 - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Donald Anderson - April 26 - 8:10 am

  We got this as a demo with only 3500 miles on it, now has 8700. We have made two long trips with this car and found it to be extremely comfortable. It handles like a sports car and preforms excellent. However we have had to take it back for a stuck sunroof, rear washer quit, and to check the back up warning system. We also have a Mountaineer that is now a 2nd choice to drive auto. It has every option except AWD. In Atlanta not a necessary feature. Avg about 20 mpg through mountains driving from Atl to Detroit. Researched the SUVs throughly, this is the best choice!

  Brand New 2006 SRX - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By dctex99 - March 18 - 1:08 am

  I love everything about the SRX. I just bought a brand new leftover 2006 model at a great price. It handles well, gets a lot of looks, and I got a great price on it in early 07. I highly recommend it.

  Sensible, Safe Luxury - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By paul - February 11 - 5:27 pm

  I have a family of four and we wanted an AWD SUV with the optional 3rd row seat. I wanted something sporty and fast, my wife wanted the ideal soccer mom ride. The SRX is both, a great family hauler that feels safe and is reliable in all conditions. We love the heated seats, handling in ice and snow, traction control and stopping power. But wait, this vehicle is fast and handles extremely well, feeling like a luxury sedan and not a nicely wrapped truck. It has beautiful fit and finish, great Bose sound, and a quiet interior. I did exhaustive research before buying, comparing the SRX to the MDX and RAV4. It was no contest, and Ive never owned a Cadillac before.

  Not the Old Mans Car - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By strack - January 29 - 9:30 pm

  This SUV handles more like a car than a SUV. I have had it for seven months and love it! You think you are driving a sports car when you are not.

  Pleasent Suprise - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By john - January 17 - 5:46 pm

  I spent 95% of my time looking at other cars and the final 5% looking at / researching the Cadillac SRX and wow was I surprised. Its kind of like finding that great restaurant / hotel / vacation spot and not wanting to tell anyone about it to keep it "exclusive."

  A Good Choice - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Andolena - January 11 - 4:13 pm

  I have a 2006 V8 SRX with All Wheel Drive. I have to say that the V8 engine makes quite a difference (my mother has the V6). However, you really only feel the extra power if you accelerate while already moving (like passing) and then it flies! Off the line this vehicle sort of lumbers as it is quite heavy. Also, my SRX does feel much sturdier and less hollow than the V6, Im not sure why. My drive to work is 40 minutes and I actually enjoy it now, it is very relaxed and has a great factory stereo... as opposed to my VERY unreliable Saab which had less than 30,000 miles! My only complaint is that I cant seem to adjust the seat to be 100% comfortable. I think this car is just not made for women who are 5 2"!

  Best Car I Have Ever Owned - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Driver - December 27 - 12:27 pm

  Of the 48 cars I have owned so far, including MB, Lincoln, Bentley and Volvo, this is easily the best in terms of fun to drive, reliability and comfort. Many of the Asian cars had no power passenger seat many insisted on 4 wheel drive which I neither need nor want. Caddy built this one for me and Im delighted.
