Overview & Reviews

A luxury crossover SUV, the Cadillac SRX utilizes components and construction more often associated with cars rather than the rugged truck-based underpinnings GM uses for its more traditional SUVs. The result is a more comfortable ride and better handling, along with plenty of versatility unless you need to tackle heavy-duty chores such as towing or off-road travel. Typically priced below European rivals, the SRX makes for a genuinely appealing alternative thanks to its distinctive styling, pleasant driving character and feature-rich cabin.

If you're shopping for a used Cadillac SRX, you'll find early models with either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and options like a third-row seat and a V8. Later versions of this Cadillac crossover are a bit smaller, with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, two rows of seating and V6 power. Although the newer version sacrifices some space, power and performance, it offers a significantly nicer interior with upgraded materials and technology.

  The "Cadillac" Of Crossovers - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By Almost A Perfect 10 - September 13 - 2:00 am

  The designers really out did themselves with the SRX. Having always driven Sedan DeVilles or a DTS, I wasnt sure this car would be right for me, but it is! The fit and finish is perfect, and in Crystal Red it draws a lot of attention. The ride and comfort is very similar to the DTS I traded in as well as the overall feel of driving. It has just about every feature one could want, including a Bose sound system. I rated the reliability at 5 because the car only has 400 miles on it, and I dont know what to expect in the future. I suspect it will perform as expected.

  Pleasure to drive - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By So Far Pleased - September 11 - 2:00 am

  All I have been reading is how this car is short on power, I traded my 2004 SRX with the 320hp North star engine. This car seems to have all the power from a stop and to pass, anyone could need. Combined fuel mileage I am averaging 21 MPG, only have 1450 miles on it but so far no problems. I did have to remove the front headrest and turn them around, I am tall and they were hitting the back of my neck.

  Amazing first Cadillac - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By Barbie Doll - September 3 - 5:24 pm

  As a recent college graduate I was looking for a vehicle that was appealing good on gas mileage and overall was comfortable. I am beyond happy with my SRX. I love the quality of the navigation system and how easy it is to use. All my co-workers are in love with the sunroof and how big it is. I must say Im always volunteered to do the driving at works since my car is so comfortable. I will say I was a bit skeptic at first going from a two door sports car to a cross over but I must say I am beyond happy. The only problem I have encountered with the vehicle is one of the aluminum pieces by the driver mirror fell off. I took it to the dealership and it seems a few people have had the same issue.

  Never thought Id hate a Cadillac - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Laura - September 1 - 8:25 pm

  I bought my 06 SRX 2 months ago, and within the first week it started having electrical issues radio presets lost memory, sunroof and windows wouldnt close, tilt reverse mirrors wouldnt work, and why it was stalling. The dealership handled the issue poorly, theyve had the car for almost 25 days in the last 2 months & still couldnt fix the problem. I took it to another dealership for a 2nd opinion, and it was fixed within an hour. I guess it was a known issue for the battery and computer modules to be tighten, so that all electrical lbs of power can support all the functions. After about 3 days, all the issues came back again.

  Disappointed in Cadillac & GM - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Syracuse 185 - August 25 - 11:24 am

  This premium car was our first return to buying from an American based car company. Sad to say, we are we disappointed in the quality and reliability of the car and the integrity of GM. This car has been in the shop 10X the amount of times our other (Japanese) cars. Despite the care we have given the car it is rusting straight through in several places. In the last four months we have spend over $900 a month in repairs to keep it on the road (excluding tires, oil, etc). What a money pit. We went back to buying Toyota again this spring.

  Luxurious & Reliable, worth every penny! - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By bobscadisrx04 - August 24 - 1:46 pm

  I never thought I would enjoy a crossover vehicle as much as the Cadillac Srx! The performance is amazing, I always tell people its like driving a luxury tank around. Very safe and handles like a dream. Not crazy about the gas mileage, but thats my only complaint. The seats are amazingly comfortable, and the features are impressive. I dont have the sunrooof, but almost every other feature, and its been a great car for me. I owned an Audi before, and will never go back. Cadillac is the way to go!

  Great Luxury for the price - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By T-Bay - August 3 - 7:37 pm

  During my test drive I fell in love with the car. I didnt use the sport mode until I got it home. This has eliminated any concerns I had about pick up and the ability to pass on the highway. I bought the luxury model without the nav system. Onstar downloads turn by turn navigation directly to the small screen on the steering wheel. It also comes over your stereo system prior to a turn. Brilliant! The pop up and rear view camera are nice but I am glad I saved the $2400. It also comes with rear and front parking assist without the camera and pop up. The interior is incredible and really makes the driving experience a dream. Great value for a luxury crossover!

  Would buy another - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By thuff - August 2 - 6:49 pm

  I bought my 2004 in 2005 and it went in the shop a few times for this or that but was always taken care of. always given a Cadillac replacement vehicle but my only complaint are that the turn light go out a lot because they are running lights also. I love my car my wife has a convertible mustang and we always take my car because of comfort it rides like a dream the a/c is so good it will make you cold on a day of temps over 100 degrees. Id buy another in a minute!

  What a vehicle! Pure class. - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By D-Lyted - July 28 - 8:08 am

  We just purchased our new SRX Luxury edition and are truly delighted. Having looked at Acura, Audi and the Toyota Venza, the SRX beats them all. It uses regular gas, gets great gas mileage and rides blissfully. If you look closely at the form, function and finish of the interior and exterior, it truly is elegant. LED lights front and rear (is that a tail fin?), 18 inch Michelins, self leveling xenon headlights, turn signal in mirrors and side marker of car, electric open rear hatch programmable to your garage height etc. WOW!

  Nothing but trouble - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Nothing but trouble - July 16 - 8:08 am

  I purchased this car used and thought I had gotten a good deal. Unfortunately in the last two years, I have had nothing but problems with this car. I just had the water pump replaced ($700), two belts, now the tire monitor isnt working. Ive had to also replaced the power steering lines and parts related to the coolant system. I feel like Im in the shop more than anything. The list goes on re: parts that have needed replacement. On a positive note, it is a very comfortable car and handles amazing on the road. I wish this car was made to last more than a few years for its price. Very disappointing. I dont think Id ever buy a GM vehicle again.
