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.

  2012 SRX is a lemon - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By gjet1 - November 27 - 8:25 pm

  I purchased a 2012 srx luxury model in march of 2012. Since then a rear shock broke car was 2 days old. Next the brakes made a strange chirping noise, front pads and rotors, now the engine misfires. It has been in shop for a total of 45 days for this problem. GM cannot fix it not the dealer where car was purchased or the GM engineer dept. The car just misfires when it feels like it. GM tried cols 1,4 map sensor,throttle and alot of other parts. Today the steering make noise. Nothing but problems and headaches. I have driven many caddy loaner cars all 2012 srx and at least 3 of them had this misfire problem. My ADVICE STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR. THE NEW STANDARD OF THE WORLD DISSAPOINTING.

  I was in love with my 05 SRX until I started having major problems. I have replaced the Catalytic Converter,The Transmission and there is a definite problem with the engines that treats oil like water! General Motors has always had a bad reputation for the quality of the automobiles they deliver and as far as I am concerned ,I am very disappointed in the major problems consumers are having that are not addressed by GM. I will Never purchase another GM automobile. Its beginning to sound like an old truck and I am ready to junk it......Never had problems like that with Toyota

  Best out there - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By thetvmn - October 23 - 2:41 am

  I love my 2010 SRX! Not only is it a beautiful car on the outside, but the interior is amazing. The moonroofs are great for fall cruising or just riding around on a starry night. If youre a car person, you might notice that the designers didnt forget Cadillacs heritage. From the subtle "tailfins" to the chrome V on the dash, theres no mistaking it as anything else than the classic American automaker. And as for the bad reviews: With grammar like that, I doubt one would be educated/successful enough to own an SRX unless they bought it off a junk lot in the first place. I highly recommend this car!

  More Than a AWD Station Wagon - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By guy41 - October 1 - 7:08 am

  I purchased the 2004 SRX to replace a Buick Riviera and a Chevrolet AWD Astro van. It was difficult finding a vehicle with the sporty ride and handling of the Buick that could also perform some of the daily tasks of the Astro. Suprisingly the SRX does it all with style and grace. I like this model more than the new ones for its sporty station wagon style. Even after 102k miles it makes me smile when Im behind the wheel and I would buy another.

  Know Your Car!! - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By oliviad1214 - September 23 - 2:36 pm

  There seems to be a lot of frustration when it comes to the oil on this car. When you are driving a luxury car you need to keep up with certain things that you wouldnt need to in a Honda. I have my oil checked after every 100+ mile trip and topped off and get my oil change every 3,000 miles. Its a great reliable car with amazing handling. The gas mileage could be better but no complaints, again a high maintenance vehicle. You need to take care of it though, and commit to regular maintenance, if you cant then you shouldnt be buying luxury.

  SRX puts the Sport in SUV - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By thomas2006 - July 19 - 11:58 pm

  Smooth, Fast and fun to drive. I traded in my 2008 Mustang GT and I havent looked back. I would buy another anytime. I drive over 80 miles a day to work and back. I now look forward to the trip. You cant beat the Bose stereo. It is almost a surreal experience.

  REALLY disappointed with me 10 SRX!!! - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By ctaylor66062 - July 13 - 8:01 pm

  Ive owned my Cadillac SRX for almost 2 years now. I was drawn to its sexy looks inside and out. Since Ive owned it, it has been in and out of the shop over 10 times for various issues (wont start, side view mirror shaking, chrome trim fell off, electronic issues.) I think the thing that is most annoying about the SRX is the horrible visibility. On numerous occasions I have almost hit cars/pedestrian etc because of the awful visibility front and rear. Also this crossover is extremely small compared to its competitors. I have two kids who ride in boosters... so basically it only seats 4. No 3rd person can fit in the back row. I cant wait to trade this car in!

  SRX w/20 Sport Package - runs great, looks great - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By dsowa - June 2 - 12:12 am

  I bought a used black 2008 V6 SRX with 28K miles this year. I added the 20-inch sport wheels and it looks fantastic from any angle. Must have been pampered by the former owner as its nearly flawless after over four years. I wish I had the Ultraview sunroof, but its one less thing to break in the long run. Potential buyers beware of water leaks around the back hatch that leave water in the tire jack storage well. Its an expensive fix (700+$), and thats if you catch it early and theres no other damage. Other than that one problem, I love this car.

  A Bit of a Bummer - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By jmelquist - May 31 - 6:44 pm

  Owned or leased over 10 Cadillacs prior to my SRX AWD - always with a great experience ... unfortunately, this vehicle has been a disappointment. I liked the exterior looks - mpg ok however, should have checked the vehicles performance and technology out better - both a disappointment - not the standard I have come to expect from Cadillac. Found the vehicle to be noticeably underpowered - transmission shifts in a odd way at times - very irritating technology (e.g. front crash warning beeps in the garage when backing out in reverse, the front seat when you turn off the vehicle moves back automatically so far you would not want someone in the rear seat, etc).
