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.

  Im excited about driving all over again - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By algiorda - August 27 - 2:00 am

  I wanted to get a Deville for that renowned Caddy ride, but needed more room to cart stuff around. I test drove the SRX and fell in love. I have the Blue Chip color with light Tan interior, DVD system, no sunroof, no Nav system. I am in love with this car. I cant wait to drive it everyday. It handles very tight, the seats are very scuptured to your body, theres plenty of head and shoulder room, fit and finish is outstanding, power, shifting, and handling are smooth as silk.

  First Time Domestic Buyer / Would Do Again - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By cochtera - August 24 - 4:50 pm

  We have always owned imports, but I have become a believer in Cadillac. We bought a pre-owned 04 SRX V8 with every available option. It has great space and incredible performance. It is as fun to drive as our Volvo V70 wagon. I highly recommend it!

  Dont Buy - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Lee Martin - August 23 - 6:33 am

  The Cadillac SRX is a rattle trap. The moonroof creeks, rattles, and pops. The front rattles over slight bumps. My car went to the dealer for a lube job that only lasted for a month and then tje rattles came back. This vehicle rides like a pickup truck. It does have plenty of power and handles nicely. It is not worth the money.

  Not the Best in the World - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By ATICO - August 21 - 6:01 pm

  All four tires on my 2004 Cadillac SRX, Goodyear Eagles, cupped within the first 5,000 miles. They made horrible noise. I could not get anyone to listen to me until the car had 24,000 miles on it and rode and sounded like a Sherman Tank. The battery had to be replaced. I also had the tire monitor repaired three times and the door seal reaplaced.

  I might look like a granny...but - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By krissyburke - August 6 - 6:33 pm

  I love this car, it is so smooth. The other day we had huge amounts of stream line winds, you couldnt even feel them in this car let alone hear them! The only problem I have is, sometimes I feel more like a granny driving this car, when all of my friends have their sporty mom vehicles. I am still only 27 and not quite ready to fully give up my youth just yet. However, with hopefully a third baby on the way this car was really the way to go for us. So, I might look like a granny in this car at times,...but I still love it!

  Excellent road car! - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By William Rahner - July 24 - 9:13 pm

  I love the car! Despite negative reliability ratings from Consumer Reports, the only maintenance issue Ive had was the collapse of the two front shock absorbers, which the dealer immediately corrected. The vehicle has a wonderful ride and great handling characteristics, especially on the highway. Its quiet and comfortable, and the seats are firm and very supportive. My wife, who is not easily impressed with domestic makes, really loves it. Its been great on road trips, averaging 24 MPG on the highway. The Northstar V8, is considerably more thirsty Im told, but I dont miss the horsepower...the V6 is quite responsive. I recommend the car without reservation.

  SRX - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Natalie Smith - July 24 - 7:30 pm

  The SRX is an outstanding vehicle to drive and to look at in the driveway. It has good power, a tight turning range, and is fun to drive. The extra large sunroof gives it the feel of a convertible without all of the road noise. It seems to be very tightly manufactured. I enjoy driving it as much as my Infiniti G35!
