The ever awesome caddy srx
It is big and roomy but not annoyingly huge. It is very comfortable. Everything is easy to access. It has heated seats and steering wheel.

Cadillacs are amazing family or single owner vehicle.
Cadillac SRX is an amazing vehicle, is family size large enough to seat 5 + people crate for a family or just by yourself; I have a child so it is perfect for us. It drives smooth as most Cadillacs drive; my favorite feature is the ac every person can adjust their own even in the backseat. Plenty of room even with a full load of people, easy to drive to work and come home, pick up kids and go out then come home without any problems.

The most important thing about this car is that the car parts might be a little inflated because it's a Cadillac
Yes this is a nice car that for an 08 it has great features, like backup sensors. The bad thing is the cost of some parts.
accountCircle Mary S
It has been a very reliable car.
I like the way it performs. I love that it is not low to the ground. I haven't had any problems with it.
accountCircle Raymond K
A lot of luxury features not found on other makes in the same price range.
This car is super quiet. It rides nice. Very comfortable seats. Easy to get in and out. Door locks have been a problem from day one. Gas mileage is more than I expected. 124000 miles.

One most important thing about this car is comfort.
Very easy to drive. Great gas mileage! Seats are roomy and easily adjust. No blind spots. Of course, it is a Cadillac so you would expect perfection. I have owned 4 and would consider the same make and model for my next vehicle.

The best car I've ever owned!!
My car has been great. It now has 65000 miles & still runs just fine. We have very few problems. Other than regular maintenance & new battery & tires, there have been no problems. The auto has a wonderful entertainment system that my grandchildren loved the first years we had the car. The system still works great. The radio & CS are still in perfect working order. The sound is excellent. I love the moon roof. It has been great in all weather. Even though my car has a V6 it has all the power I'd ever need. It has surprisingly powerful pick up. All in all, it's the best automobile I've ever had.

Transmission issue with this make and model.
Runs good when it not having continuous problems.

The joys of owning a Cadillac!
I like the bigness of it. I don't like the outside mirrors because they are too big. Also the vehicle is a gas guzzler for sure. Good for Costco trips. Black is hot in Florida in the summer especially. The all wheel drive part is noisy when you drive. Brakes are good. It cost $200 to replace one turn signal. Poor design for sure.
accountCircle Emily C
Expensive to maintain & but has good space.
I do not like the shape. I like the surface window. It is unreliable so I cannot travel far. I like the tech it has.
accountCircle Rachel L
Overall the vehicle is ok. Great cargo space, but poor gas mileage.
I dislike the poor gas mileage and expensive oil changes. I like the open roof concept and heated seats.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jess K.

T is a heavy vehicle and it is easy to drive for winter use. It is a nice looking vehicle and very comfortable. It is spacious and has plenty of room for transporting items or having a variety of passengers. It has leather seats which are easy to clean.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jess K.

We have had this vehicle for a few years and have had to have so much work done to it. I think it was because it sat without being driven for a few years but it has cost us a lot of time and money. This is really the only con as when it has been operating it is great.

Is The 2008 Cadillac SRX A Good Car?

Yes. Nice for large shopping trips. Bad on gas. Cost 200 dollars to change a turn signal light. Crazy design. My BMW didn’t cost that much for service
Kenny S.

How Reliable Is The 2008 Cadillac SRX?

Yes it is reliable. No problems except with design changing signal bulbs. Kind of hard to see with the big side mirrors. They could have been much smaller
