It is super reliable and it does not waste gas.
It is super reliable no problems and it does not waste so much gas and there is a lot of room for my kids and family members or friends.

Cadillac Is a great name in luxury vehicles but needs a lot of service.
I love all the comfort features that the car has. I hate that since we purchased it, we have spend as much money on we owe on the car to keep it running!.
accountCircle Marcia F
My vehicle has proven to be everything we were looking for in a vehicle.
I really like this vehicle. It is roomy, rides comfortably, good gas mileage and looks great! It has a third row seat which is great for grandkids. My absolute favorite feature is the heated seats! Living in upstate New York it gets pretty cold in winter. Heated seats are a great feature.

Not very good on gas mileage.
I really like the sun/moonroof. Dislike the radio system because it is not always clear. Like the size of the vehicle.

Sensors - mileage, oil, tranny fluid, window wash, back up sensors.
Any maintenance on your vehicle, you have to take the entire engine out to do, and that causes a lot of issues for me, because labor is expensive. Also, there are a lot of sensors and they all tend to go out at the same time, causing expensive costs as well.

Sunroof that goes along the entire roof
It's great no problems or issues with it since we have owned it. We love how much room it has for our family and the sunroof is awesome. The built in DVD player also comes in handy for long distance trips. The only downfall is it is terrible in gas. We cannot keep it filled up

The Cadillac brand has been around a long time and is a reliable manufacturer producing quality cars.
Seats are heated adjustable and comfortable. Third row seating available. Good sound system.

A Cadillac srx is a great vehicle to own.
Comfortable, nice looking, and reliable. Expensive to fix. Cannot feel the speed that you are going so pay attention to the speedometer.

Expensive to maintain and drive.
It is extremely expensive to maintain. Simple things like oil change, transmission fluid change cost a fortune. It has lots of mechanical issues. It has an extremely low mile per gallon value. Despite the v8 engine that it has it is really slow on climbs.

Things break easily. Expensive parts.
Nothing but problems with this vehicle. Being that it is a cadillac, all the parts are 10 times more expensive.

Parts are expensive. Even getting an oil change is expensive.
Service stability system constantly comes on the screen. When it does, the car pulls to the left. Abs constantly turns on whether Its raining or dry out.

Cadillac srx review cons of the 2004 model.
The parts for the Cadillac are outrageously expensive. Most of the parts are only able to be bought at a Chevy dealer. The car has recalls a lot. It seems like once you get one thing fixed another thing is breaking. It is not worth the money for what you are getting.

Cadillac srx is not worth buying!
Cadillac srx runs very smooth, but has many issues within. From the motor, cat converter, and suspension. Have had the car for a while and had to put extensive work into maintaining it. Went through two catalytic converters and had to replace suspension in back tires. Have had the car over ten plus year and would recommend not buying the srx, better off getting a newer model which runs way better. Plus I have heard this from multiple Cadillac srx owners, not just an issue with my car.

Heartbroken
I just purchased my 2004 SRX.I needed something big enough for my Grandkids sits. I have never owned a Cadillac. I ask tons of questions and agreed on a price.Before I literally could make it home had tohave almost$900 worth of work done to it then took it in to find out it needed over $1000 more work! Parts for a vehicle 16 years old should NOT require a loan taken out! Today the main highway had some snow,slushand occasionally ice

2004 Cadillac SRX would not recommend
I bought it used in September 2018. I haven't had it a year yet and have had to have multiple repairs on it. I've had to buy a new battery, there was a leak in the oil unit, costing me about 500 dollars, and something happened with the sensor unit, costing me another 1000 dollars to repair. I wouldn't recommend this vehicle.
