It was a great investment for the price we paid 8 years ago.
I like the medium SUV size. It is easy to park and use for carrying stuff in the back hatch area. It has GREAT comfort amenities and it has been completely reliable.

I love this car, here is why,
I cannot say anything negative about this car, it drives smooth, has no mechanical problems and is very comfortable. I love the look of the car and the luxury features inside. I also love the 360 sunroof, it really is beautiful and it makes the car feel larger inside. The cars feature are easy to use.

Black on black and absolutely beautiful.
The headlights do have a problem with fogging up and are not very bright. It is actually dangerous at night. You can buy a replacement kit. I love the panorama sunroof! I wouldn't have a vehicle without one now. Design and quality are phenomenal for the year it is way beyond its time.

Car is very reliable. Driving and riding is smooth.
Tailgate sensor goes out. Headlights are expensive to change out. Not very gas savvy. Car drives very smooth. Very comfortable vehicle to ride and drive. Overall a great vehicle.

Cadillac srx - mommy mobile, with daddy speed.
The comfort of the Cadillac is top notch. It has all of the features you could want and more. It drives really smooth, even on the roughest of roads. The DVD system is amazing for my 3 year old, it is made road trips so much better. I have had a issue with the turbo, my mechanic states it is a known issue in this model. Apparently they use cheaper parts in the model of Cadillac. This brings me to another point, parts (even though they are made cheap) are so expensive. We are having to replace the struts and it is almost $2,000. I love the luxury of my car but, I am not for sure if we will purchase this model again.

Best car ever fits lots of people.
It is a really comfortable car and really roomy with lots of features and a electric trunk. The design of the Cadillac is really smooth and built for performance to be really aerodynamic and fits many people and a lot of stuff in the back. Overall a really good family car to go to the beach or just travel on vacation.

2010 srx-stay away! No good points to give.
Worst car ever driven. The visibility is awful. The electrical system has issues. The sunroof leaks due to design. Gas mileage is not good. Not the most comfortable ride, considering it is a “Cadillac”. I would heavy advise a person to select a different vehicle for certain.
accountCircle Meagan B
The redness of the Cadillac is the only thing I like.
Gasoline gets into oil and car shakes while stopped. Ac does take awhile to get cold, back seat more than 1 seat belt is broken, one does not click and the other is pulled out and will not retract back up! The sunroof does not work either. And one of the seats do not fold down as well.

Had all 4 ball joints replaced. The head lights collect water and the lights Dim so much it is very hard to see. I am not the only one that has this problem there so many that it should be a recall. The whole unit has to be replaced at a cost of$2000.00 or more.

Rides wonderful if you can keep up with the repairs.
Purchased the car a little over 3 years ago with 40,000 miles. Since then, I have put well over 10,000 in repairs. Some of the things replaced have been ball joints, wheel bearings, alternator, and water pump. I am sure there is more to this list but cannot think of them off the top of my head. Not only this, but have had a ongoing problem with the check engine light coming on and off since the 50,000 mile mark. In addition to the check engine light coming on, the check stabilitrak and engine power reduced comes on at the same time. Now, being in the state of VT with the new law stating you cannot get your car inspected with the check engine light on, I am force to put another 2,000 in it this year in hopes to find a remedy for this situation. I have no choice but to get it fixed because I still owe too much money on the car to trade it in. It is also extremely expensive to fix, simply because of the brand of the car. I will say that the car is extremely comfortable to ride in and the features were good for the year of the car (heated seats, adjustable petals, ect). However, that is the only two good things I can say about the car.

Beware of the quality of a Cadillac!! Nothing but problems with the vehicle!!
The stx has had problems from the beginning, 1st after the car sat overnight the next morning the battery would be dead, Cadillac dealer would bring another battery then it would start for about 3 months then again the battery would be dead, I have had it to the dealer and they still to this day find the problem why this was happening. The next problem was the sunroof leaked which the dealer did repair, the sensor on the hatch went out as I was putting groceries into my car if I had it gotten out of the way it would have crushed me to death, the dealer replaced the sensor. It has never had a smooth ride, before buying the Cadillac I owned a GMC Envoy and it ride 10 times smoother than the caddy. The running light on passenger side went out, it is something to go with a computer chip & will cost $1, 400. 00 to repair, now the timing chains need replacing at $5000. 00. It is not worth putting that much money into, I am going to drive it until the engine dies from the timing chains. It is been a piece of junk from the start!! I would never buy another caddy, gm buys from the cheapest supplier and there quality has gone down the tubes!! They need to go back to making a good product and be loyal to their customers. They want customers to buy their products but they do not want to stand behind there products like in day gone buy!! Google the Cadillac and you will read about all the problems, I would advise not buying one unless you want problems!

Worse and Costly Vehicle Ever Owned
I purchased this vehicle used from a private owner and I've had to change both front entire strut assemblies,both front cv axles, both front out tire rods, both front lower control arms, both racker steering pins, had a tune up, repair air condition hose, trans work, new rear brake pads, and etc yet my check engine light is still on and my abs light is still on, stability trak light on and in the winter time here in Chicago it has me really fearful to drive because it slides across the highway in just slightly snowy weather. I will never purchase or recommend a Cadillac ever. Repairs for simple things are very expensive. Now I'm being told my catalyic converters both need changing. Can't wait to be rid of this costly piece of junk.
accountCircle Rochelle G
Terrible buy. This is one purchase that I regret.
Sensor issues. I had to replace 3 sensors since I bought it in 2014. I had to replace 3 wheel bearings on it along with the battery not long after I purchased certified pre owned. The amplifier just went out in it, and I've had to replace other parts to it as well here and there. I had to replace the headlights on it which cost around $1100. These are all known issues that Cadillac knows about but won't help in replacing. After researching my car issues, I found out that there are several other people that have had the same issues out of their SRX's.

Cadillac makes luxury vehicles.
I haven't had any problems with my vehicle in terms of reliability or performance. The leather interior and lumbar support function in the seats make driving long distances really comfortable. For being an older model the car has phone Bluetooth capabilities and I can connect my phone to an aux for music. The car has navigation and backup cameras - not on most older models. I love my car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Crystal B.

It is the perfect size for my family. It has the child lock button up front for easy access for me. All of the window are automatic. It has remote start. It has push start. It has heated seats! It has dual air control. It has extra storage space under trunk area.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Crystal B.

The cons are that it does not connect to Bluetooth to play your music. It connects to where you can talk on the phone but not to play music. Yes it has a spot to connect your iPod or iPhone and it has a spot to connect using an aux. But the new google phones do not have an six port so we had to buy a special Bluetooth device for my husband's phone to play music.
