  • Do you think a used Cadillac SRX a good buy for someone on a budget that wants an everyday family car / SUV yet wants luxury too? This review attempts to answer that question. Since it was getting a little long I decided to break it into 2 parts - features and interior is pt 1, and road test review / driving manners is pt 2.

    Cadillac should have kept this body style. It is so sharp and gorgeous. I almost bought an "04, just a couple weeks ago, but I kept reading that the head gasket had issues in '04. But, this is a gorgeous vehicle. Too bad they changed the body style.

    CTS is NOT based on the Caterra. The Caterra is a much smaller car, based on the German Opal. The CTS was a brand new car when it came out.

    • @RnWSolutions
      @RnWSolutions  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought I said that the name CTS replaced Catera Touring Sedan, just like the name STS replaced Seville Touring Sedan. Catera ended production in 2001, so yes I know they are different platforms.

    • @MadManMcGirt
      @MadManMcGirt 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@RnWSolutions as there are several years between the Catera and the CTS, It realy isn't a replacement.
      You are aware, that STS stands for Seville Touring Sedan, so it never replaced it, they just stopped putting the name Seville on the cars, (as it was officially the Seville STS)

    • @RnWSolutions
      @RnWSolutions  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Shane Lieberman here is what I found: “CTS stands for Catera Touring Sedan, as the model came in as Cadillac's successor to the Catera mid-size sedan which was produced from 1997-2001.”

    Was a nice car in its time but the newer body style is much better i fit the 2010 and love it came from a 2006 Bmw x3 and i prefer the Cadillac!!! The bmw was faster but interior looked outdated compared to the Cadillac and veggie you say it was 3yrs older the 2010 x3 had the same interior

    • @RnWSolutions
      @RnWSolutions  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes I agree I had a 2011 SRX for a while and liked it - I buy cars I like, drive them for a while and fix anything wrong, then sell them. The thing about the older ones is it can be had with the V8 - which is nice. I'm sure the newer versions with the turbos are fun.

      This was very reliable but only had 95,000 mikes. I have looked at others with 150k mi but they were beat up so I would say they higher miles are probably not very reliable like a Lexus or Acura.
