  • Available Northstar V8, ample interior space, optional third-row seat, sporty handling.
Cons:
  • A few cheap interior materials, love-it-or-hate-it styling, V8 models get expensive quickly.

  • Its Finally Gone - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    The SRX was sold last week with absolutely no regret. We were very excited when we originally bought the SRX because of its looks and performance. Both of the attributes held to be true to the end. Interior finish was awful and build quality was about as bad as it could get. The dealer tried to make things work but Cadillac was very uncooperative. The sunroof would not function at times and creaked and rattled all of the time. The engine burned 5 quarts of oil in the last 8k miles driven and Cadillac said that was in tolerance. The final straw was the sunroof began leaking with water pooling under the third seat. It really is too bad that the car had to be dumped on the market.

    Have not been pleased with this Cadillac. I had never owned a General Motors product and I can truthfully this will be the last one. Compared to the 8 Fords I have owned (and driven over 100K each) there is no comparison to GM. I will be going back to Ford. The transmission is extremely rough shifting at lower speeds - normal says the dealer. It uses a QT of oil every 1000 miles - no leaks says the dealer. The check engine light goes off and on but the dealer cant find out why. The air pressure senors on the rear tell me both tires are flat after one hour on the road - not even going to ask the dealer to try to fix that.

    I truly enjoy the luxury and the smooth ride that this car provides. It is very comfortable and easy to handle. The only problem would be the gas mileage but in this day and time Im sure none of us are excited about gas prices.

  • There YOU go, Euro car? - 2004 Cadillac SRX

    40k miles. Panoramic roof is why I bought it, & like best. Have a Benz & a BMW. Foreign car snobs diss the handling. I prefer it over the Benz, & its different, but about equal in fun to the Beamer, but with better leg room up front. This car is what the family picks to ride. Stereo is great. Ride & handling surprisingly good. Dead Quiet at 70MPH Electronic controls in ice / snow best of the luxury cars. Hard to make it do something bad when teaching kids to drive on ice. Mine doesnt rattle. Wood steering wheel & heated seats are nice. Doors solid, stay solid. Dash appearance & vinyl visors cheesy compared to seats Service has been excellent. Looking for an 08 right now.

    After leasing a 99 Eldo, I leased an 02 Subaru Outback Legacy (LL Bean edition). Both vehicles were upscale for their class and had many great features. I looked for a quality used vehicle as I wanted to get away from premium fuel. I traded in my used 96 Seville which finally had too many miles for the SRX which runs on regular. Would have been a smart fuel move except for the poor mileage I am getting and rising fuel prices. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with this vehicles handling and ride. I purchased used as I am getting ready to retire and dont want big payments, but I miss the comfort of the Eldo (wish they still made them) and dont want a new vehicle with cheap seating.

    I love the sound of the Northstar growl during acceleration and its excellent handling. Kids really enjoy the Sky Roof and so do I.

  • I really wanted to love this car, but... - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    Something is always broken. Driveline vibration required axle rebuild. Numerous suspension repairs, particularly front. Replaced the radio 2x. Brake pads last 12,000 miles max. Towed when electric failed due to bad dealer repair. Front fenders crease from mild front impact (small subtle bend in middle of tire well). Dont buy this car if you have children. Seatbelts dont work well with child seats because buckles are too large - cant get the seat tight. Not designed for childseat in safest position in middle rear, just outside positions. And can you believe the 2wd version tipped up in us govt rollover testing. Somehow GM avoided the test for the first 4 years of production.

  • Most satisfaction of any car owned - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    Having owned or leased 4 cars in the last ten years, this is the most satisfied Ive been with any car. V8/transmission is quiet and smooth as any. Longer wheelbase and AWD gives it great handling and confidence in winter climates. Ultraview sunroof is unique and very enjoyable to have. Pricey when you put it all together, but in this case you get what you pay for.
