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.

Outstanding All-Around Family Vehicle - 2004 Cadillac SRX
By Leonard - January 26 - 12:12 pmI was a little concerned about buying a used SRX, having read about many owners negative experiences. However, after driving this car once I knew it would be ours. This is a spacious and comfortable SUV-wagon-crossover- whatever but it drives like a sport sedan! Im a big guy that is used to driving a new full-sized Chevy pickup, but the SRX fits me like a glove. After putting a few thousand miles on the car and a couple long rides hauling both people and cargo, I have to admit there isnt much more I could ask for. The V6 is surprisingly powerful, quick-revving, and can deliver decent MPG if you behave yourself. For a used AWD luxury vehicle, this was an amazing value.

Lousy Quality - 2005 Cadillac SRX
By kolber - January 21 - 4:51 pmI bought 2005 SRX for my wife who always wanted a caddy. I also owned 2006 STS at same time. Have had many problems over and over again with with electronics with car. Now timing chain has broke according to my local garage due to low oil pressure. Since buying this caddy I traded in my STS due to poor quality with all the gadets in the car. The SRX is a great example of nice car not built well. Engine makes lots of noise, and uses oil. When you buy a cadillac you expect a car above the rest! I have owned at least five different cars over past few years and will NEVER buy another cadillac again new or used. Im now waiting on GM to see if they will take any responsiblity for poor quality car

fun to drive - 2010 Cadillac SRX
By red white - January 21 - 12:54 pmI really enjoy driving this car as I dont personally feel like I need gobs of horsepower or torque because as I mature (older) I tend to put less emphasis on performance as opposed to comfort, reliability, and upscale features. If you purchase the srx with the standard 3.0 liter engine its important to remember that performance is not what you will get. I was pleased with the way the car handled (we travelled to Florida 1585 miles) and the fact that I wasnt the least bit fatigued after driving for 27 hours with on nights rest. Visibility not as overly compromised as some reviewers have said it was, as I found it easy to adjust to because of the large exterior mirrors

Not much power, youre paying for luxury - 2010 Cadillac SRX
By Annette - January 19 - 7:48 amThis review is based on a rental for two weeks while my Mitsubishi was in the body shop. The bottom line is that you are paying for the "toys" in this vehicle rather than performance. I expected a vehicle priced this high should have some pep when it comes to the gas pedal. Its pretty sluggish when it comes to shifting. In automatic mode, it was revving at 4500 rpms before it shifted into 3rd gear. You are basically paying for the goodies & gadgets inside the vehicle. Is it really worth it or would you rather have good performance?

This is no Cadillac! Keep your old SRX - 2010 Cadillac SRX
By Ryan - January 12 - 9:13 amThis is NOT a Cadillac, this is a "luxury version" of a Chevy Equinox, a small eco-SUV. Nowhere near as comfortable, useful, or fun to drive as our 2004 SRX (which is a TRUE Cadillac-designed vehicle). We were excited when we heard about the upcoming redesigned SRX for 2010, but now regret waiting. Going to get a low- mile or unsold 2009 SRX instead.

Stiff Ride - 2010 Cadillac SRX
By Dick Anthony - January 8 - 1:38 pmWe test drove a basic model,front wheel drive with 18" wheels and purposely drove over bad roads. The ride was excellent. However we wanted and purchased the Premium model with all the options. The first drive in it I knew we made a mistake because of the handling. It is to stiff and noisy over uneven surfaces, nothing like the model we test drove. I inquired when ordering the car if we could get it without the sport suspension and 20" wheels, but you could not. But I thought "oh this a Cadillac, it must ride nice". Mistake!! All the other features of it are excellent. Warning, test drive the actual model you will be buying.

Great decision...! - 2010 Cadillac SRX
By J - January 2 - 2:45 pm07BMW X3 to 10SRX. We too looked at Q5, GLK, MKX, RX. SRX has more content and offers more value. Fit and finish very good. Power is adequate for this type of vehicle. We have done a 1500M road trip and it was great. Around town it is perfectly fine..! Interior is really nice and better than all the others. You get more VALUE with Cadillac. All the others are ala-carte and add up too quickly. Cadillac targeted LEXUS and quite frankly it is no contest, the two dont compare. The SRX is hands down a better product overall. We really like our white/grey/chrome wheel, performance version, it was a great decision indeed. Its my ladies crossover and she is very happy. Wow..we have a Cadillac !

V8 Sport RWD...great used buy - 2007 Cadillac SRX
By gwcpasrx - January 1 - 11:24 pmBought used off lease from a used car lot. Needed utility, tow capacity, over 6200 GVWR for tax purposes. V8 RWD sport package/black is a great looking car. Previously had an Infiniti G35 rwd, and this car is close in perfomance, but I can tow my boats and have room in the back. Rear seat has been used for teenagers on an hour trip, and they didnt mind at all. I love driving this car every day at the price I paid used (about 50% less than new with 28K miles). Car is fast, will leave 2 stripes of rubber with locking rear. Did get stuck last weekend in soft grass...AWD would have been nice, but otherwise, I dont miss it.

1st Happy Cady Owner - 2010 Cadillac SRX
By Cady Happy - January 1 - 11:06 amRead much about the lack of pick-up in t enew SRX. My suspencions are these are previous V-8 owners (massive SUVs). The car is great, corners great (beats our Pilot), interior is well designed and the CRV is such a joy to drive. So much technology, still learning after 1100 miles. By the way, stomp on the gas and the SRX does take off without hesitation. Its a CRV not a Vette!

LOVE IT!!! - 2004 Cadillac SRX
By jr512 - December 24 - 10:00 amThis was a car purchased for my wife. She has a severe back problem and was looking for comfort and ease while having the room for 3 + children. As a BMW owner I rejoyced in knowing that my wife would no longer be taking my car instead of the minivan we had previously. Funny thing is, I find myself jumping into the Cadillac more often than my own car.
