  Very happy with the SRX - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By commander58 - January 13 - 1:34 pm

  2012 FWD Luxury model. Great lease value compared to competetors such as Acura MDX. Infinity EX, FX, etc. Delaership experience excellent. SRX rides fantastic. Road noise non-existent. Handling, acceleration, shifting of the transmisson all great. Seats are firm, but I find the SRX to be very comfortable. Great feature content on the Luxury trim level. Averaging 21 mpg with mostly highway driving. Very pleased with the exterior & interior appearanc eand build quality. I was in the market for a luxury SUV/CUV and found this to be the best value out there. I have not had a GM product for quite a few years, and Im very impressed so far!

  Cadillac Forgot Comfort - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By brucetaxes - December 20 - 4:12 pm

  I have had this SUV for 7 weeks and 3500 miles. The seats are VERY uncomfortable. The bolsters are too hard to the point that I have black and blue marks on the back of my thighs. The space between the bolsters is 11 1/2" but my rear end is 13 1/2" and I am not a large man. Maybe a larger person would have their own padding, but I dont. The seats are too hard. The back seat has no leg room and is also very hard. My biggest problem is with the head rest leaning to far forward. I can not sit straight in the seat. So I had to remove the head rest.

  The car overall is A+ the seats could adjust up on the front side more. The road noise is very little there is some engine noise when getting on it but I kind of like that

  2012 SRX- Style and Luxury! - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By matheson1977 - December 14 - 9:29 pm

  Recently traded our 2008 RX350 in for this car, im extremely happy with the SRX. The Caddy has such style inside and out, its a treat to look at! The performance is also very pleasing, it gives up nothing to the competition in this area, we crossed shoped this vehicle with several others (except the Lexus Rx as we were not all that happy with ours) and the Caddy came up on top.

  Loving it ! - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By f430monza - December 3 - 10:16 pm

  After test driving over 10 cars, I kept on coming back to this one. I drove the 2011 and agree with the comments about it being under powered. Mind you the 3.6 is no Ferrari, but at least the engine doesnt seem stressed under hard acceleration. Even with the 20 inch rims, the car sacrifices little interior noise. Reasons for buying this car vs competitors: Q5- RELIABILITY ( weve had 6 Audis/VW- ALL HAVE BEEN A HEADACHE) GLK- Too small inside. Lexus RX- Too Boring to look at and drive. Evoque- nice, but see Q5 comments and multiply that by 20= Land rover.

  Perfect Bling to Wear - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By lovecaddy - October 27 - 6:16 pm

  Everyone stops and take a look at my new 2012 SRX. Design is like none other. Nothing on the road looks like this. The Lex twin looks small to this. Mine is Black Raven with Stone interior. In the past I was a huge Ford Explorer fan buying 2 in the last 6 years. Trust me, they never offered the luxury of this. Buttons galore including rain sense and power turn in side mirrors for the car wash and bank drive in windows. All the interior of my new SRX have leather with French Stitching on the dash, all side door parts. So much attention to detail. Rides like being on a feather.

  Very Happy with Purchase - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By tcars1 - October 10 - 10:58 pm

  I traded out for a Luxury 2012 for a 2011 premium MKX with low miles… which was horrible (going on 5th visit to the dealer in 4 weeks . FYI the MyLincolnTouch is a disaster). While the MKX had way more stuff (mind you none of it worked well), the caddy is a total hit! Awesome! I read complaints about the 2011 engine revving up and down and tried it. I agree. I have had mine for about 5 days now (lol). The 3.6L is very nice and I have been driving it in the ECO mode for the past 2 days. Plenty of power and am getting about 20.7 MPG. The inside is very refined, comfie and stuff is easy to get to.

  Caddy SRX is a Winner - 2012 Cadillac SRX
  By dtrotter61 - September 14 - 9:21 pm

  The addition of the new 3.6L V6 engine made the already good SRX a class leader in its category. While it possessed head turning looks and a luxurious interior, it lacked the performance necessary to run with the Big Dogs. The new engine provides a throaty growl when accelerating and provides plenty of passing power on the freeway. When combined with excellent fit and finish inside and out and great driving dynamics, braking and acceleration, the SRX now has the total package. Having moved from a Lexus RX 350, which I loved, the SRX is more powerful, stylish, engaging and dynamic vehicle that possesses excellent ergonomics and technology.
