Cadillac SRX Review

2009 Cadillac SRX

Price Range: $38,105 - $48,960

Handling
The Cadillac SRX and the average luxury SUV have roughly similar tires. With their comparable turning radiuses, the average luxury SUV and the SRX indubitably handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The average luxury SUV's engine is a bit smaller than the Cadillac SRX's, but not terribly so. The average luxury SUV has no lessons to learn regarding pickup from the Cadillac SRX.

Utility
The typical luxury SUV's bigger trunk will accommodate more big things than the Cadillac SRX. Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the SRX over the average luxury SUV. Towing is markedly more the typical luxury SUV's forte than it is the Cadillac SRX's.

Convenience
You will have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the SRX than with the average luxury SUV.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the SRX offers a bit more head room than the typical luxury SUV, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The SRX provides more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the average luxury SUV does.

Dimensions
The typical luxury SUV is considerably more ponderous than the Cadillac SRX. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the average luxury SUV than the Cadillac SRX because of its more capacious tank. The average luxury SUV and the Cadillac SRX compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the average luxury SUV to the dealership as the Cadillac SRX. With respect to fuel economy, the typical luxury SUV and the SRX don't differ much. The average luxury SUV doesn't pale in comparison to the Cadillac SRX regarding fuel economy. As far as MSRP, the SRX costs markedly less than the average luxury SUV. When it comes to out-the-door cost, the Cadillac SRX doesn't cost much less than the average luxury SUV.

Overview
Although the basic warranty that comes with the average luxury SUV is slightly longer than the SRX's, the difference isn't too marked.

Other
The Cadillac SRX emits fewer smog-forming pollutants per 15,000 miles than the average luxury SUV.

Real Car Pricing

When it comes to getting car prices from off the internet, you need to be aware of the issues. Because those car prices don't generally include specific options packages. And those options can add thousands of dollars to the sticker price.

Even if you factor in the cost of the options you want, you won't know your actual cost. That's because the dealership won't have exactly the set of options or trims you're interested in. They will only sell you what they have on the lot, take it or leave it.

So if you want the right options and the best deal, get an internet price quote.

The sales person will tell you:

What's on the lot
What options the vehicles have
The lowest internet price.

And if that dealership doesn't have what you want, get an internet quote from another dealership without leaving your house.

No Hassle Negotiation

Anyone who's spent hours haggling at a dealership knows there has to be a better way. And there is. Getting internet price quotes means you can work with a dealer from home. That means no driving around, no high pressure situations and less chance of making a mistake you'll regret later.

You email a dealership about a particular make and model and they come back with what they have on the lot. So you are negotiating for a particular car the price, color, options, and trim level you want. If they don't have what you want, just contact a different dealership. Once you've found the car of your dreams, you visit the dealership and close the deal. Sweet.
