The SRX is a quiet, comfortable ride loaded with features. Unfortunately, the mechanical reliability is less than stellar. At 112k miles, the check engine light indicates the timing chain needs replacing at a cost of nearly $2000. Yesterday it needed a front wheel bearing replacement. I've owned almost every make of car in my 52 years of driving and never needed a wheel bearing replacement, but then I never owned a Cadillac. Looks like this will be my first and last Cadillac.
Having owned 2 corvettes a Ferrari F355 a BMW m6 I can honestly say this is by far the fastest, most comfortable and most beautiful vehicle inside and out that I have ever had. I long to drive it even if only to the grocery store. Always put the recorder on when valet parking as you can see them salivate as you pull up.
I have had two 2008 Cadillacs. One with 257,000 kms (160,000 mi) which was written off due to wildlife this summer: a safe, dependable, versatile, fast SUV. I found a replacement 2008 SRX with only 69,000 kms on it, and after 10,000 kms, find it to be the same high quality in all respects. And it's the Sport model which means 20" wheels, a 6-speed transmission and several other goodies. And it's that beautiful red colour. Great cars.
amazing price
This is the 9th Caddy I have owned, and the worse. If I would list all of problems and $$$ spent, I would surely throw-up. I have been a Cad owner most of my life. All in all, the prior Cads were great cars but quality slipped at GM and the 2004 was a major POS. (If you don't know what a POS means, ask your kids.) To list the many problems would be like remarrying the fat, ugly wife that you divorced. I now drive a 2015 Escalade and it holds the quality that Cadillac has been known for.
This vehicle is the best large SUV on the road today. Excellent in millage, comfort, roomy nest road handling with the best sound system known to man; the Bose system. Every safety device from numerous airbags to every possible warning signal that has been used in any vehicle on the road today. From the magnetic suspension system to the auto level device, you will always be comfortable. There is no pug-in system for the 2009 Hybrid; a recharging battery is located under the second row seats.
CTS is a quality car to purchase and drive
