  Better than the new one - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By mattjames24 - December 28 - 3:00 pm

  Purchased as a demo fully loaded (minus the navigation system and V8) and absolutely love the car. The magnetic ride control gives the car a performance/handling on par with BMW. The moonroof is great, especially when open on the long drive home from work. The only downside was the high cost of brake work after the service department failed to notice the wear. But all in all a great car and much better than the cheap, underpowered one released 2010. on the long drive home from work.

  Electrical Issues - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By seamoore - September 24 - 2:00 am

  Soon after purchase of this pre-owned Caddy, I noticed that the radio presets were lost, took in for service, "nothing wrong". Returned, said "internal error" AKA "we never looked!" Replaced the radio, Same problem after new radio installed. Returned back to dealership for 4th time when the windows were "stuck" half way open and no drivers side controls. Now they are going to replace the "unified switch body" and they say that this IS the problem. Well see? Frustrated that no one seems to be able to find the problem. Anyone else have this issue?

  Never thought Id hate a Cadillac - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Laura - September 1 - 8:25 pm

  I bought my 06 SRX 2 months ago, and within the first week it started having electrical issues radio presets lost memory, sunroof and windows wouldnt close, tilt reverse mirrors wouldnt work, and why it was stalling. The dealership handled the issue poorly, theyve had the car for almost 25 days in the last 2 months & still couldnt fix the problem. I took it to another dealership for a 2nd opinion, and it was fixed within an hour. I guess it was a known issue for the battery and computer modules to be tighten, so that all electrical lbs of power can support all the functions. After about 3 days, all the issues came back again.

  "Disapointed" - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By pete m - September 10 - 8:24 pm

  I bought a caddy because my dad always had caddy"s, and said you get a lot more for your money. I bought it when it had 59k on it. But being a "cadllac"I thought this would not be an issue. I have had nothing but repair after repair, and to top it off, it use"s "oil"... The dealer has told me that using a qt. Every 2k miles is considered normal!And there was nothing they could do. Told the dealer, my next car will be a Toyota.

  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.

  Big Disapointment - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Jason - April 21 - 7:29 pm

  This is my first Cadillac and over all I have been very pleased. The ride is "Cadillac", handling and performance is more than I expected. However, after only two plus years I am going to trade it in for another SUV. Im in sales and drive over 35K miles per year. My SRX burns a quart of oil every 1.5K miles. It seems as often as I put gas in I put in oil. No Cadillac dealership either wants to or can help me with my issue. Most disappointing!

  Changes Need to be Made - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Bob Swope - September 23 - 6:44 pm

  The Cadillac SRX is an enjoyable vehicle to drive in town and on the road. Its road noise is much less than other vehicles we have ridden in. The gas mileage is not as good as our previous DeVilles got though.

  Nice Ride - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Bill Foo - July 11 - 2:05 pm

  I traded in a 2004 Infiniti FX35 for a Cadillac SRX because my wife found the ride on the FX to be too harsh and the cargo space lacking. The SRX rides as one would expect a Cadillac -- very smooth and soft, yet the handling is quite acceptable. Oddly enough the FX had better gas mileage. On a round trip from Long Island, NY to Allentown, PA I achieved 18 MPG on the SRX averaging 70-80 mph. Similar conditions with the FX yielded 21 MPG. The last time I owned an American car was in 1982. Ive gone foreign ever since. GM has done something nice here to win me back. Overall Im very pleased with the purchase, but wish the acceleration to be slightly better perhaps I should have gotten the V8.

  This vehicle rocks! - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By robert i. - June 3 - 7:04 am

  AThe SRX is a beautiful vehicle. My major complaint is a shortage of storage bins. I am always trying to find a place to put stuff. The exhaust is almost a growl - it is pleasant. The appearane attracts positive comments everywhere I go. Most people cannot beleive that this is a Cadillac. We are thinking of aquiring a second one - it is a very cool, satisifying vehicle. Our dealer was super as well!
