The Cadillac SRX, a brand I never thought I would drive, was the first one on our list we visited. Here is my review.
Cadillac SRX
Exterior: A
Gorgeous from all angles. This car is sexy.
Cabin: A
Very spacious cabin and very high trim level. Also, there’s a lot of glass in this car, so excellent visibility for the driver wherever he’s looking (e.g. Turning around to back the car up I felt like there was no car, only glass.)
Back seat: A
Plenty of room, even with the driver’s seat pushed back to accommodate my 6’1″ frame.
Trunk: D
Once we put the stroller in here (which we brought to the test drive), there was virtually no space left. No third row, so there’s no extra space to steal. Let’s face it manufacturers: that glove compartment you put in the floor of the trunk is good for road flares and a spare pack of dental floss.
Ride (Smoothness and Quiet): A
So the tongue in cheek drawback with how smooth and quiet this ride was was that I was at 70 on a residential road without knowing it. No exaggeration. That might be a problem. (By contrast, I felt like I would have had to punch a hole in the floor and run my way to 70 in the Veracruz). All kidding aside, I would love the trip to Massachusetts in this car.
Gas Mileage: 17/23 (AWD)
Outfit: Comes with all the trimmings pretty much included.
Notes:
Salesman said MSRP was $43k, we’d get it for $40k. But at 5.9% financing, it’s more expensive than we’re comfortable with. But if anything changes on that front, we would love to take this car on long trips or just down the street.
