2011 Cadillac SRX – Used Car of The Week

The 2011 Cadillac SRX has some big shoes to fill.  It’s a Cadillac so it has a certain cachet, but it has to have good quality components, adequate acceleration, plenty of room and something for the kids to watch on long drives.

The 2011 Cadillac SRX lives up to its name in every aspect. The engine provides more than enough power for any driver. The interior is full of extra features that make driving the Cadillac SRX good for long trips. The exterior looks like a Cadillac ought to look.

From the side, the SRX had long broad lines that suggest importance and size. The front is properly heavy and complicated, The roof slopes back in an aggressive line. The interior is where the people who own a Cadillac live and General Motors is aware of that. They used quality materials and striking design to make any drive in the SRX enjoyable. Anyone buying a Cadillac expects unusual luxury touches and the SRX has them. If you want to consult the navigation system, a touch screen rises out of the dash instead of dominating the front of the dashboard. The entertainment system for the rear seats will play two different programs at once. Really a good idea if you have kids of different ages.

Cadillac simplified the engine choices for 2012. There’s only one, and one is all that’s needed. A 3.6 liter V6 delivering 308 horsepower and 265 lb-ft. of torque lies under the hood of every 2012 SRX. Power goes to the front wheels or, as an option, all wheels through a six speed automatic transmission. Zero to 60 mph goes by in 7.1 seconds, a very good time for this type of car. Fuel economy comes in at 17 mpg city and 24 mpg on the highway. With optional equipment, the SRX can tow up to 3,500 pounds and has 30 cubic feet of cargo space without folding the rear seats and 61 cubic feet if both sides are laid down.

Choices are the hallmark of American cars. Cadillac offers four trim levels; base, Luxury, Performance and Premium. The base model isn’t a stripped down invitation to move up to a higher level. It includes automatic headlights, remote engine start, eight-way power seat for the driver and a 60/40 split rear seat that reclines.
The Luxury trim level includes parking sensors in the front and rear, outside mirrors that fold when a button is pushed and dim when needed on the driver’s side, a power lift gate, adjustable thigh support for the driver, an eight way adjustable seat for the passenger, rearview cameras and an optional navigation system that can be activated by voice. The Performance trim adds 20 inch wheels, adaptive dampers on the all wheel drive model, sport tuned suspension and upgraded steering. The Premium trim level includes three zone climate control, heated rear seats and ventilated front seats. Passengers have their own audio controls in the Premium level.
