Even all of my dents look good !

My. Only complaint is it uses so much gas ! Beside that I have enjoyed it for 10 years --- very few problems--- had to replacsun roof and now one back door does not unlock work . It has to be done manually ! Not much for a car that has had many clients looking for homes , in it !!!

Caddy Shack

I was in love with this car!! The exterior and interior were in pristine condition considering it was 10 years old. My favorite feature was definitely the sub roof that spanned the length of the vehicle. However the width of space on the drivers side was very tight for my husband who is 6 ft tall.

What a value!!!!!

Purchased as a replacement for a totaled SUV. Just a spur of the moment thing. Winter needed all wheel drive vehicle. What a car very impressed, never knew this car even existed. Just a joy to drive with so many comfort options. Will never set any speed records but it is just a V6. All wheel drive works as good as or better then previous MB.

Smooth Ride

Perfect luxury crossover. Spacious, all the bells and whistles. Enjoyed the third row seat. I owned the V8 model so it was a bit of a gas guzzler.

RELIABLE AND STYLISH CAR

This is a reliable and very comfortable car with three row leather seats in great condition. It features all the bells and whistles you can imagine. Fully automated sunroof gives you a feeling like you are in a cabriolet. Great safety features offer ABS and Cruise Control. Pleasure and fun to drive.

We got a lemon!

We have owned this car for just over 8 years now and can't wait to get rid of it. It has had a water leak on the front drivers side post so it drips down onto the floor. Dealership couldn't find the problem. It has 157,000 km now and uses more oil then gas. Dealership will be happy to replace pistons and rings with a new over size kit for $6800.00. Not going to happen. The steering have has been replaced 3 times because the heater inside quit working. The 4th one has been in now for 4 years and seems to be working nicely. A few good points are that it is a great highway car. Very comfortable on long trips. Steering and ride are responsive and reliable. Will never own another Cadillac.

Love my SRX

I bought my 2008 Cadillac SRX a few years back when it had only 75,000 Km's on it (Currently has 195,774). There have been zero issues with the fit and finish of the car's interior or exterior with the expected service and maintenance costs associated with any North American built vehicle. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and as such we have 4 different seasons that our vehicles must contend with and the SRX shines in all of them. A couple of design issues such as having to remove the entire front bumper, along with front wheels to change a headlight bulb or a delicate power 3rd row seating function...but other than that, I'd buy the 2008 SRX again. I prefer the 2004-2009 models over the newer version although the 2016-17 X models look great too. Use the cruise control as I do and you'll save a ton of money on gas, especially on the V6 model as I have. I'd purchase the SRX again and again over the Mercedes, Lexus or BMW...all of which my friends had owned and traded in due to either repair costs (BMW & Mercedes) or nagging reliability issues as in the (Lexus). Did I mention I also purchased a 2006 Cadillac SRX and also love it!

Great Fun 2008 SRX Cadillac

For our third vehicle we purchased a used 2008 SRX Cadillac. This is for my husband's car to replace his 2001 Chevy Pick Up Truck (that he still wanted to keep) for hauling stuff just for that. The SRX Cadillac is for trips and travel around town. With 3rd row seat and wider comfort seat, this is excellent for a ride in visiting our grandkids 500 miles away from us. I drive a 2012 GLK 350 Mercedes and riding in a Cadillac is a superior american car that I recommend also to drive. At first we are skeptical to drive far away from our town but we did great. The comfort and ride is so smooth in the highway. The sunroof added more great fun for the grandkids and our friends viewing the clouds, sun and even the rain and snow are a spectacular sight! Overall, this is a great car that we recommend you to enjoy it too like we do! It's an excellent choice!
