There is ample cargo room and storage in the SRX.

The windshield wipers automatically adjust to the conditions well also. It has ample room, but is not an extremely large vehicle. The seats have several adjustments that you can customize to yourself.

The SRX is comfortable to ride in, especially on longer trips. While at the mechanic, it was discovered that the passenger front wheel bearing is also showing signs of excessive wear and tear and will need to be monitored, although the noise has not gotten noticeably worse in the last 10,000 miles. The total cost of the repair was around $180 for the one bearing. It got to the point where the noise was unbearable to continue driving, so the vehicle was taken to a local mechanic. At around 68,000 miles, the car developed an audible whirl, similar to a helicopter that coincided with acceleration and deceleration.

From a reliability standpoint, the only mechanical issue that I have experience, thus far through 78,000 miles, is the driver side wheel bearing. In addition, anyone taller than around six foot would practically be in contact with the roof. The back seats are too vertical and do not provide a comfortable seat for extended drives of two or more hours. The main con that I have previously detailed about the Cadillac SRX was the comfort level of the rear seat cushions and overhead space. Lastly, the gas mileage for this vehicle is very reasonable for a V6 at a consistent 21-23 mpg depending on highway/surface street habits. The drive is relatively smooth, and the engine has enough power to efficiently climb steep hills and conquer semi-rough terrain. is very straight forward and access to required parts is easy. Another benefit of Cadillac is that they design the vehicle in a manner that is conducive to convenient basic maintenance. I also enjoy being able to utilize the programmable controllers for my home garage door, personalize mirrors and seat positioning based on key fob identification, and the panoramic sunroof. The rear seats lay down nearly flat creating a bed like space similar in space to a small pickup. In addition to those aspects, I would say that other benefits include the ability to pair and play audio from cell phones and other personal electronic devices. The weekend proved to be quite memorable and would not have been possible in our previous car.Īs previously stated, the top benefits of this vehicle for me is the cargo storage volume as well as the comfort level for driver and passenger. What makes this memory with my vehicle memorable was the fact that this was the first time that I had seen my parents since we had moved away from our friends and family the previous year. We easily made the slightly over three-hour trip to Savannah with everyone commenting on how comfortable they were on the trip. This trip would be to Savannah, Georgia and happened to be with my mother and father on their first visit to us from California. We purchased our Cadillac SRX shortly after our first road trip with both dogs and quickly planned our next trip. Since we are used to traveling with our first dog, we found that traveling long distances with both dogs as well as all of the luggage that we tote around was not very feasible and comfortable in our previous sedan. Once we moved into our new home (and gained a lot more backyard space), we adopted a second dog. This vehicle was bought in 2015 when my wife and I relocated to Georgia from California in order to pursue a new career opportunity for me in the pharmaceutical industry. However, these seats would be perfect for families with small children or infants. Anyone over 6 feet tall would not feel comfortable for extended periods of time. Additionally, the overhead space is sub optimal. The only real dislikes that I have regarding this vehicle is that the rear seat is pretty standard in regards to comfort. The SRX is the vehicle of choice for about 90% of my families driving for these reasons. At 6'5", I can continuously drive this vehicle for 5+ continuous hours without feeling discomfort. The other main reason for choosing the SRX was due to its comfort level.

You can also utilize the roof cargo rails and install a trailer hitch (which we have done) for added cargo space. The SRX provides as good amount of cargo space with the rear seats folding down. We initially were attracted to this vehicle because we needed more space than our previous sedans provided for longer road trips with our two dogs. I bought this 2012 SRX in 2015 and only paid ~40% of it original MSRP. This vehicle was initially chosen due to its quick depreciation of value.
