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.

  Whats with the poor MPG - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By FirsttimeCaddyowner - November 27 - 2:00 am

  I had owned Infinity I30 and leased Lexus RX for 2 leased terms (6 yrs) without any complain and wish American autos would recapture some market shares from foreign cars. So I decided to lease SRX and have it for about 3 weeks with 550 miles on it. Combined mpg as per the car computer says less than 15 mpg, a far cry from the window sticker which says 17 & 23. This poor showing despite having a less powerful engine put into the car which sacrifices pick up power and supposedly giving better mileage. This leaves a lot to be desired and would require GM to improve this major short coming. Other than this, the car has been problem free so far and I hope I didnt make a bad decision.

  Best Car Ive Owned - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By Macdaddy - November 7 - 1:00 am

  Bought nearly 3 years ago now-fully loaded V8 with sport package. Never a problem or even recall. Just change the oil. I wish all cars could be this good and trouble-free.

  I love my 2011 SRX - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By edward - November 7 - 1:00 am

  I am very pleased with my SRX. I have owned Cadillac in the past and they proved to be a problem. Hopefully I have not made a mistake with this vehicle. I only have 250 miles at this writing and I am pleased with the new Cadillac warranty. I agree, the transmission is sometimes confused... but I do not have a heavy foot so acceleration is fine for me. I love the styling and the car is fun to drive.

  I love my Caddy - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By sam7759 - November 6 - 2:00 am

  This is the first Cadillac I ever owned, bought it used from carmax and love it. I never had the oil problem I read about, in fact I change my oil every 5,000 miles and had no problem at all with it. Good over the road, drove it from Los Angeles to Sacramento a few times and had a nice trip every time.

  MY SRX A LEMON - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By John - November 6 - 2:00 am

  Couldnt wait to buy this beauty, its the best looking crossover, without a doubt, inside and out. Negatives: bad front to side vision, a ton of blind spots poor acceleration from stop rough ride gas mileage okay, runs on regular. Mine was a lemon: rear axle needed work (175 miles) rear hatch and sunroof leaked since new (burnt out rear hatch motor, leaking has not been fixed yet) sporadic "real rough" idle on cold starts molding fell off? My daughter bought the same car 2 weeks before us and she has not had any problems with hers, she loves it. GM is buying back my lemon.

  Happy happy - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By joe silver - November 2 - 2:00 am

  I have 5600 miles so far, in regard to performance i have no complaints. As far as power goes its nore then i need, and for a 4000 pound car it moves along nicely. The ride is good for an suv/crossover. City mileage is not the greatest i am getting 15.5 mpg how ever i am getting at best on 3 long trips 28 mpg each trip, thats on the on board computer and by doing the math and keeping under 70 mph. I have had one body problem and that was the small piece on chrome molding on the drivers mirror fell off, (caddy dealer replaced it free). All in all i love the car, its a head turner!

  Nice car - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By pghguy517 - October 26 - 2:00 am

  I love the car! Looks and rides great, well built. The dealership that I bought it from was the only disappointment. No experience with their repair shop, but their sales staff was the worst. The Lincoln dealer staff next door was much better.

  Beware - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Belinda Bennett - October 25 - 2:00 am

  I leased this car in March of 2007 new. I have had nothing but trouble since. The car stopped on me twice, transmission problems and had to be towed each time. Rear end problems twice, tire problems all of the time, and a tire gauge that never stops flashing. When I asked about getting rid of the car I was told everything that was wrong could be fixed and nothing could be done about it. I am afraid to go out of town in this car. Seven weeks ago (Aug. or Sept.2010)the bearings on the passenger side were replaced. I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone. The car is beautiful in looks but not fit to be placed in the Cadillac class. I am glad the lease is almost over. Never again.

  Almost a perfect 10 - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By Almost Perfect - October 23 - 2:00 am

  I traded a 2007 DTS in for this SRX to hold me until the new XTS arrives next year. Im not a Crossover person, but this is a really nice change. Fit and finish is perfect, and the optional Crystal Red I ordered is a real eye catcher. Seats are too firm, but I can live with it. The engine leaves a lot to be desired, but its fair. Rides like a luxury should, but very noisy when you need to pass, or merge on the freeway from the underpowered engine. Poor fuel mileage with about 165 tops in city driving. At 6 theres plenty of leg room, and some to spare. Difficult to program different things i.e. radio etc.

  Love my SRX! - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By ctaylor66062 - October 21 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my SRX Luxury model for about 2 months and I love it! I love the way it drives and looks. I cant wait to get in my car and drive it every day! I have people ask me all the time what kind of car it is. Its definitely a head turner especially since mine is red!
