Overview & Reviews

A new three-spoke steering wheel is the only noteworthy change made for the 2008 Cadillac SRX.

• Excellent ride and handling dynamics, strong V6 and V8 engines, roomy and comfortable interior, optional third-row seat.

• Mediocre fuel mileage, old-school six-step tilt steering wheel, overly offset brake and accelerator pedal heights, a few low-grade interior materials.

  Lemon - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By apovolotski - June 21 - 11:19 am

  8 months into the purchase, I begin to believe that Ive got a lemon. Currently, it is broken down and has been here and there throughout the tenure. Here is the chronological order of things that broke down: 1. Handle holder on the roof (the one that you hold on to to get in and out of the car) -- was hammered in -- easy fix. 2. Front seat plastic backing was hanging -- clamp was off -- easy fix. 3. Muffler was rumbling, weird noise level up -- clamp was off -- easy fix. 4. Engine chugging -- spark plug replaced. 5. Back seats rattling wildly and violently at high speeds -- wheel balancing did not solve the problem -- still rattle. 6. Power steering and pump failed. 7.Chugging bad

  SRX w/20 Sport Package - runs great, looks great - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By dsowa - June 2 - 12:12 am

  I bought a used black 2008 V6 SRX with 28K miles this year. I added the 20-inch sport wheels and it looks fantastic from any angle. Must have been pampered by the former owner as its nearly flawless after over four years. I wish I had the Ultraview sunroof, but its one less thing to break in the long run. Potential buyers beware of water leaks around the back hatch that leave water in the tire jack storage well. Its an expensive fix (700+$), and thats if you catch it early and theres no other damage. Other than that one problem, I love this car.

  Great Vehicle, Bad Transmission - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By wrrjr - April 12 - 12:55 pm

  Bought the vehicle used three months ago and love the way it drives on long distances. However with only 56000 the transmission burned out all of the clutches. I had taken it to the dealer but they told me is was a computer issue. It wasnt so the out of town dealer had to completely rebuild the transmission while on vacation. Day after repair we drove it 1100 miles home without a problem. Got 22 mpg on highway at 74 mph. We love the Cadillac.

  Best Car Ive Owned - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By Macdaddy - November 7 - 1:00 am

  Bought nearly 3 years ago now-fully loaded V8 with sport package. Never a problem or even recall. Just change the oil. I wish all cars could be this good and trouble-free.

  My last GM - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By Joe - October 12 - 2:00 am

  Took over the lease at 20K and had way too many trips to the dealer. 2 sets of rear breaks, 1 set of front, sunroof too many time to mention. engine light for no reason, and timing chain twice, also road noise on the highway was ridiculous. For a car of this level this is totally unacceptable. I have always owned GMs but I think this might be my last, I think I will check out the Lincolns or Acura.

  Its really an SUV - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By Rory Boothe - May 1 - 10:14 pm

  I get 22 mpg on the highway. My wife loves it and its the only SUV cross- over that has enough room in the back to really be called an SUV. Im more comfortable in the SRX than in my truck. It has leg room in the back seat as well. The steering & handling is excellent.

  From a 2004 to a 2008 - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By Tom - February 24 - 9:16 am

  Purchased a 2004 SRX and loved it. Considered Lexus, BMW, Lincoln, but went back to an SRX. My wife drives this car almost exclusively but when I drive it is a pure joy. Driving from N.E. Pa to Chicago is not a chore but a great experience.

  What an awesome suprise! - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By ABO - February 18 - 4:46 pm

  As my lease is ending on my 2008 BMW 528I and after driving both Mercedes and BMW for the better part of 10 years..I decided to go American. The SRX that I bought (not leased) is Black on Black 20"chrome wheels, Vogue grille, Nav, panoramic sunroof and more. It drives like a car and has the room I need for weekend trips to Home Depot. I cant believe that I enjoy this vehicle as much as I do, but it truly delivers the best of both worlds.
