  Great All-round Vehicle - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By firetoice - April 16 - 12:30 pm

  I purchased this vehicle in September, 2011, replacing a 2010 SRX. Super for longer trips comfortable, quiet, solid, efficient. Fuel economy through 50,000 miles of mixed driving: 24 mpg. Unfortunately, this model has increased in price by ~$7,000 since I purchased my 2010, though I still believe it is a good value.

  46K miles and still not a problem - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By moscoman - September 10 - 11:07 am

  With the exception of tires recently changed, this car has been absolutely a pleasure to own and drive. I waited specifically for the 2012 model to get the larger V6 with increased HP, and it has not disappointed. Extremely comfortable car to drive.

  Good All Around SUV - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By rocky92 - March 28 - 9:15 am

  My 2012 SRX is front wheel drive luxury model with 18 inch wheels. No problems after one year which is nice for an SUV with very many features that could go wrong. Good handling, quite, and good pick up for an SUV and I drive it aggressively. All around MPG is 20 to 21 MPG which is better than the AWD models.

  2012 SRX Performance - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By madillini - March 19 - 12:40 pm

  Bought this car a month ago. Also considered the Lexus 350. It wasnt even close. The SRX seems much roomier inside and has many more nice features. The exterior is chiseled yet sleek, the interior is roomy and comfortable. Seats are very supportive and love the pull out thigh support on the drivers side. Havent used the GPS much but no problems with accuracy when I did. I actually like the push button parking break. Drive is very quiet, acceleration is quick, steering is responsive, shifting is ultra smooth, this car is a joy to drive.

  Very happy with the SRX - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By commander58 - January 13 - 1:34 pm

  2012 FWD Luxury model. Great lease value compared to competetors such as Acura MDX. Infinity EX, FX, etc. Delaership experience excellent. SRX rides fantastic. Road noise non-existent. Handling, acceleration, shifting of the transmisson all great. Seats are firm, but I find the SRX to be very comfortable. Great feature content on the Luxury trim level. Averaging 21 mpg with mostly highway driving. Very pleased with the exterior & interior appearanc eand build quality. I was in the market for a luxury SUV/CUV and found this to be the best value out there. I have not had a GM product for quite a few years, and Im very impressed so far!

  The car overall is A+ the seats could adjust up on the front side more. The road noise is very little there is some engine noise when getting on it but I kind of like that

  2012 SRX- Style and Luxury! - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By matheson1977 - December 14 - 9:29 pm

  Recently traded our 2008 RX350 in for this car, im extremely happy with the SRX. The Caddy has such style inside and out, its a treat to look at! The performance is also very pleasing, it gives up nothing to the competition in this area, we crossed shoped this vehicle with several others (except the Lexus Rx as we were not all that happy with ours) and the Caddy came up on top.

  Loving it ! - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By f430monza - December 3 - 10:16 pm

  After test driving over 10 cars, I kept on coming back to this one. I drove the 2011 and agree with the comments about it being under powered. Mind you the 3.6 is no Ferrari, but at least the engine doesnt seem stressed under hard acceleration. Even with the 20 inch rims, the car sacrifices little interior noise. Reasons for buying this car vs competitors: Q5- RELIABILITY ( weve had 6 Audis/VW- ALL HAVE BEEN A HEADACHE) GLK- Too small inside. Lexus RX- Too Boring to look at and drive. Evoque- nice, but see Q5 comments and multiply that by 20= Land rover.

  Perfect Bling to Wear - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By lovecaddy - October 27 - 6:16 pm

  Everyone stops and take a look at my new 2012 SRX. Design is like none other. Nothing on the road looks like this. The Lex twin looks small to this. Mine is Black Raven with Stone interior. In the past I was a huge Ford Explorer fan buying 2 in the last 6 years. Trust me, they never offered the luxury of this. Buttons galore including rain sense and power turn in side mirrors for the car wash and bank drive in windows. All the interior of my new SRX have leather with French Stitching on the dash, all side door parts. So much attention to detail. Rides like being on a feather.

  Caddy SRX is a Winner - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By dtrotter61 - September 14 - 9:21 pm

  The addition of the new 3.6L V6 engine made the already good SRX a class leader in its category. While it possessed head turning looks and a luxurious interior, it lacked the performance necessary to run with the Big Dogs. The new engine provides a throaty growl when accelerating and provides plenty of passing power on the freeway. When combined with excellent fit and finish inside and out and great driving dynamics, braking and acceleration, the SRX now has the total package. Having moved from a Lexus RX 350, which I loved, the SRX is more powerful, stylish, engaging and dynamic vehicle that possesses excellent ergonomics and technology.
