2004 Cadillac SRX Overview

Introduction

The 2004 Cadillac SRX is as useful as your mother's station wagon or sport-utility vehicle, but it sure doesn't look or drive like your mother's car.The SRX sports futuristic styling that stands out in a sea of boxy sport-utilities and minivans that fill school parking lots.And it drives more like a European sports sedan than it does a minivan or sport utility.

Still, the SRX, which goes head-to-head the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class, is strictly for affluent families.It starts at about $39,000, but it can be loaded up with a host of available features so that it closes in on the $60,000 mark.

We like the stable yet responsive handling and smooth, extremely quiet ride.The V8 versions offer smooth, confident power, while the all-wheel-drive models are among the best-handling vehicles in the class on snow and ice.The edgy, angular styling is distinctive and the interior is stylish, comfortable and practical, though not warm and inviting.Read full review
