No repairs or issues at all see full Cadillac review |
2006 | 4dr Sedan 320-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The car has very few problems. The Northstar engine is built like a trouble-free tank. The few problems it may have in the future, all cars have them, so its not a deal maker or breaker. see full Cadillac review |

2007 | 4dr SUV 320-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Hands down the reliability of the SRX is terrible. I've often wondered what I got myself into buying it. Parts are expensive and typical of GM, nearly impossible to replace yourself. Wheel bearing gone? Well you're replacing the enture hub, not just the bearing. see full Cadillac review |
2007 | 4dr Sedan 320-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
