The car is very comfortable to ride in. My SRX has all the bells and whistles with electric seat controls. I often adjust the lumbar support to my needs depending on how bad my back is hurting that day. Heated seats also make for a very warm tush on a cold day. see full Cadillac SRX review |

Much smaller compare to the R-class. The third row is a joke. see full Cadillac SRX review |

For how big the SRX looks, it's passenger space is somewhat craped. It's not terrible by any means, but it's not very roomy either. see full Cadillac SRX review |

The R3 Recaro seats had side bolsters that were a bit tight for us. I am below average in size as a male, and my wife is also very small and we found the bolsters cut into our hips far more than was comfortable. The seats are racing oriented only. see full Mazda RX-8 review |
