Cadillac SRX. thoughts? anyone driven one?

[MikeMike]

he is hoping that he wont spend more than an 8 grand difference between the SRX, and the trade in of the avalanche (GMS discount). but i think the difference may be around 10 grand.

however, i read what edmunds said about it, and other spots. everything i have read says it is a great vehicle, and at invoice price, i think it would excel in its division. does any one else have any input?

Which one is he looking at? 6 or 8 cylinder? RWD or AWD version?

Regardless of those, I find the SRX interior and exterior to look so much better than the Avalanche.

 

[MikeMike]

well, if he only wants to pay 8 grand, the v6 RWD would be right there, the V8 bumps the price up like 8 grand.

It's a great ride. I used to sell them. The RWD V8 is the one to get.

Well we're not TALKING about the Infiniti, are we! There are an infinite (haha) number of cars that I would take before an SRX. But we're not talking about any of them.

i took it for a test drive last weekend, i loved it. it drove well, was very comfortable inside and the engine had a lot of pep, the only reason i decided against it is its probably irrespoinsble for a 25 year old to spend 45K on a car vs 25K - 30K

yea, but my dad can get invoice price on any GM car basically, whatever price GMS gives us we get no haggling. like the SRX is 15% off sticker or so. i know it is right at invoice. and at invoice, i dont think the FX is worth the premium.

Why did you create this thread when it is well-known that you're GM's little bitch?

oh, and i think you're the only one that finds that quote in your sig to be funny...

SRX's are pretty good I hear. It won a recent comparo as well.

From what I have read on it, it seems to be very performance oriented. And that sunroof is just plain cool.

Because he wanted to know about the SRX like the topic stated. Going by your name are you Apples little Bitch? maybe Nissans little bitch, Toyota bitch, could even be BMWs little Bitch.

so, since i am asking about my fathers choice of vehicle, i am GM's bitch?

hmm, if i could get sticker price on any GM vehicle, i would get GM also, but since i dont think i am covered as it is my grandfather who worked for them, i will look elsewhere.

but you cant beat getting a $40K vehicle for <$35K when every vehicle it compares to is $45k and above.

yea, you are deffinately nissan, and apples bitch. so cool.

and we have never had a single problem with any of the GM vehicles we have bought. sure, there is a tailgate strap thingy recall on my fathers avalanche, but that is minor. hmm, nope no other problems with the vehicles we have bought new. now, the toyota Rav 4 my mother has, SUCKS i cant stand it. anytime i have the AC on and try to accelerate, it takes about 10 seconds for it to rev, and then try to go. it just wont go. nissan i have never driven.

the srx seems to win against everything the magazines have thrown at it. from the FX35 to the cayenne. i'd hit it.

 

[TallBill]

I don't follow the SUV scene all to much, but rode in a friends new SRX today and it seriously kicked ass. The owner was extremely happy with the purchase. It rode smooth, had some pep to it. I love how its a smaller suv. I'm used to my mom's forester. And the interior of the SRX was also top notch. It is very rare that I would compliment an suv.

Why puss out? Go all-out and get this

The Cayenne in the SRXs price range isn't the one that we lust for. Bring on the Cayenne Turbo.
