  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).

  2010 SRX has problems - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By jswinpa - April 24 - 11:12 am

  the 2010 SRX (basically the 2011 is the same car) is great looking, gets so-so mpg, is a bit underpowered but OK -- but be warned, I and at least one other SRX owner I met, have had the bad experience of the battery inexplicably draining overnight - and in my case the Cadillac service guys cant find the cause. GM customer service answer to my dilemma: "we cant do anything if the service people cant duplicate the problem!" Do they think I am draining the battery for the fun of taking the car back to the 50s type dealership (three times, and leaving the car for a total of 8 days)? They apparently forgot that Im not only a customer, but one of the taxpayers whose tax $ saved their butts!

  2010 - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By kathy2010 - March 19 - 3:45 pm

  Not nice sounds in the WI weather, when it is colder then 20 degrees, it sounds awful like worn springs of an old jeep, terrible. Experienced car not starting with either remote, seat warmers needed to be repaired, a recall, leather seats that are not durable.

  If your planning on spending $50k look at something European - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By jbspray_77 - February 27 - 7:02 pm

  Have had this car for 6 months, and recently took it on a 10 hr road trip and ended up falling out of love with it. When we got it we though it was a great value compared to the big three from Germany. The ride is really rough. I suspect this was some sort of effort to make the SRX sporty. It is really tight, and it seemed every little bump could be heard and felt inside it car. The interior is nice, and the price for the content is better than those from Germany. But gas milage is so-so. We average about 25 MPG on the high way, and 15 city. Its overall average isnt much better than my fullsize truck. If youre gonna spend $50k there are better offering for mid-size crossovers.

  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.

  Good Value - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By LenV - September 15 - 2:00 am

  After driving ALL suv and crossover vehicles, we chose the SRX. It was more comfortable than the X3 and Q5 and presented a better value to us. The feel of the vehicle was heavier and more substantial on the road than most vehicles of a similar size and cost. Fuel mileage is good and we found the highway manners quite good. Cargo room is adequate and the cargo gate is a nice idea. Keeps things in place in the hatch. Cadillac service and dealer attention is second to none and the full maintenance for three years is great, free car wash anytime, road side service and lets not forget ONSTAR. We moved from a 2007 Suburban, talk about large and comfortable, the SRX is GREAT.

  The "Cadillac" Of Crossovers - 2011 Cadillac SRX
  By Almost A Perfect 10 - September 13 - 2:00 am

  The designers really out did themselves with the SRX. Having always driven Sedan DeVilles or a DTS, I wasnt sure this car would be right for me, but it is! The fit and finish is perfect, and in Crystal Red it draws a lot of attention. The ride and comfort is very similar to the DTS I traded in as well as the overall feel of driving. It has just about every feature one could want, including a Bose sound system. I rated the reliability at 5 because the car only has 400 miles on it, and I dont know what to expect in the future. I suspect it will perform as expected.
