It has heated seats for those cold winter night s.

I love the silver paint which makes it stand out especially when it is clean.
I love the style of my vehicle, the interior as well as the exterior. I love the large sunroof that extends to the back seat. I do not care for the cost of the maintenance. I love that it is very roomy and is a comfortable ride. I do not like that I see a lot of them on the road.

Bob's srx, the thing I like about it the most is the moon roof.
Had trouble with the liftgate twice, that has been my only problem. It rides very well. It is a fully loaded vehicle.
accountCircle Kathy C
The safety features are awesome for this make/model of car. The ride is smooth!
I love my car. It is very reliable. I like the rear trunk space.
accountCircle Angie V
Amazing security and comfort driving all around.
Ultra long sunroof, comfortable seating and adjustments, perfect for family, rides smooth, built in GPS navigation, on star services, XM radio features built in. Back seating that drops down for more rear room ability. Seats are temperature controlled. Anti lock brakes, security equipped, perfect spacing for traveling and children.

Best car I own, with the most comfort to travel.
My car is fun to drive, never gives me problems except if the wrong gas is put in then it sputters. It is roomy and comfortable for my family. I love that its 3 rows but the back folds down for plenty of space for shopping. I can personalize my settings for my seat, music etc.

The caddy had the greatest comforts conveniences.
I brought the car used. The first issue was the rotors needed changing. Then the motor needed to be realigned. Finally after about 3 months after getting the car and driving it within the town, the motor gave out. I had to have the motor replaced. The cost was almost as much as I paid for the vehicle.

I like how I can control the radio from my steering wheel.
I do not have any problems with this vehicle. I get it serviced once a year and it performs well. I really like this vehicle size and its comfort. My favorite vehicle for shopping and going to the beach. Super easy to load item inside and take things out. I just wish it had seat warmers and an AUX outlet.

Like the space I have in the car
I had nothing but problems ever since I bought the car 4 yrs ago, had it for 1 mo and had to get a record to take to dealer it was timing chain, then it was nothing but repairs and now i had it checked its the timing chain again, I have never had that bad luck ( LEMON ) with any car, I am 67 and I had sev cars. My mechanic said he checked with Manufacture and said there r a lot of problem with heir motor in that year.....so I am a very disappointed Lady as of right now, it took all my saved money

It is made very cheaply. Everything falls apart in this car.
I like that it is spacious. I dislike the countless electrical issues that occurs with the car. It is very cheaply made.
accountCircle Amy C
Great car if you can afford it.
Car drives smoothly but minor issues are very costly with a Cadillac. Oil changes are double the average cost. Changing the front blinker lights will cost you $150 due to design and placement of bulbs. Overall, it is a nice vehicle if you can easily afford the extra expenses that come with owning a luxury car.
accountCircle Cassandra B
Great looking car but high maintenance.
I have to continually replace tires when I bought the car it had aftermath rims on it and it has been a headache. Also replace wheel bearings. It is a very good looking car but very high maintenance. I can only use supreme gas in the tank if not it will mess the gas heads up and cause other problems.
accountCircle Wendy P
My 2006 Cadillac SRX interior is nice it's roomy. The third row of seating
Recalls and computer issues. Constant seat belt and tire sensor issues. The sunroof whistles as soon as you reach 80 mph. No room for tools when changing the oil. Rear sunroof glass shattered on its own. This is a common issue Cadillac has not issued a recall.
accountCircle Liz L
Car stereo does not have Bluetooth capability.
The parts to the car are very expensive. Since the vehicle is more than 10 years old, finding parts for it can be difficult. Also, the vehicle does not have Bluetooth capability. I had to buy an adapter to hook up to the cigarette lighter. The actual stereo of the vehicle only plays radio and CD player.

Car had some issues when we first purchased it but it was all covered within the 4 year 50,000 mile warranty. I currently have 146,000+ miles on the car and it still runs fine. Have 12 years with this car, so it has been very reliable.
I still have many original parts that I would never have guessed lasted for 146,000+ miles. Parts that normally need to be replaced at 100,000 miles or less, such as my fuel pump and my alternator, have never been replaced. They are all original. Speaks to the quality of the vehicle to have so many original parts after 12 years and 146,000+ miles.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Ann A.

This SUV has enough Room with third row seating. I love how it drives smooth. Clean looking. Has power to up and go. Love driving it around. The heated seats are amazing. Also love the full sun roof. Great for long distance rides.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Ann A.

This car uses way to much gas. The fuel I have to use is high grade and expensive. There is no button inside the vehicle to open the tailgate. No backup camera. The oil changes are crazy expensive. Not good on in town gas mileage.
