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.

  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.

  Love this car - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By caddyfan - February 10 - 5:18 am

  There is nothing not to like. I have owned Honda and Toyota for years and thought it was time to buy American." This car has needed nothing other than one oil change. Reliability is excellent, despite the reviews. This car is a well kept secret.

  A great car - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By nevadagame - January 27 - 10:00 am

  The only way to understand just how much fun a big car can be to drive is to teat drive the SRX. Smooth and quite doesnt come close. A suspension system that absorbs rough road like magic. Its fast, solid and feels like nothing else.

  Poor V6 Engine Quality - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Allen Mason - January 21 - 2:50 pm

  Bought the SRX in 05. I loved the car until Mar 08. First it ran hot was towed to dealer that replaced water pump for $300. 2 months later she was driving the car and it started shaking. She took it to the dealer that checked the oil and said it was over three quarts low. They added oil and charged $117. The engine never leaked or smoked, so where did the oil go. Thee dealer could not tell us . In 2 weeks the check engine light came on. Took to dealer who ran diagnostic and found a cyl was damaged due to low oil. The car was always serviced at dealer with Mobil 1. Tried to get new engine for $8000, but none found, even by two dealers. Finally had a local garage install a used one for $2,800

  Dont buy one - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By john - January 16 - 4:33 pm

  This thing is not worth spit. It has way too many reliability problems mainly with the so called "computer". Ours went out, they replaced it, then the gas gage indicator stopped working so they reset the computer, then the turn signals stopped and they could not duplicate it then we lost oil but the computer never told us and the dealer didnt know why. We traded it in on a Subaru Forester. The trade-in number was a surprise because it is so low! GM should go bankrupt putting out this SRX crap for too many bucks. We had 40K miles on it and in the shop 6 times!

  Sleek, Spacious, SRX - 2009 Cadillac SRX
  By Daniel - December 31 - 7:51 pm

  My vehicle is a 2009 Cadillac SRX. It has everything you could think of. Navigation, moonroof, everything. It comes with an optional sport package, a very wise investment. It can come with a chrome mesh grille with special spoilers all over.

  Last Cadillac for me. - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By Skylar10 - December 29 - 3:45 pm

  Have not been pleased with this Cadillac. I had never owned a Cadillac and I can truthfully this will be the last one. The transmission is extremely rough shifting at lower speeds - normal says the dealer. When it is cold -has real trouble shifting from reverse into drive -dealer can never duplicate this problem when I take it in. It uses a QT of oil every 1000 miles - no leaks and this is normal per the dealer . The check engine light goes on and off but the dealer cant find out why. Panaramic sunroof makes lots of noise - dealer cant seem to fix that problem either. Throttle body and fuel pump both had to be replaced at 50k.

  We have had an SRX for 2 1/2 years now - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Mark - Idaho - December 26 - 12:20 pm

  We purchased our SRX in 06 and it had 3,500 miles on it. Great car and we have really enjoyed it. We have had problems with the skyroof, it has been back to the shop 2 times thus far in addition tires can be pricy as the front and back are different sizes. We are going to get a 2008 SRX with AWD but are not concerned with the skyroof this time nor the third seat. The 3rd seat sounds great but it is hard to get to and sits to close to the rear of the car for safety reasons. We would recommend this car.
