Both are paired with a five-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted manually without a clutch. Two engines are available, a V6 and a V8. The Cadillac SRX comes with two rows of seats to carry five people or with an optional power third-row seat to accommodate up to seven passengers. The edgy, angular styling is distinctive and the interior is stylish, comfortable and practical, though not warm and inviting. 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. We like the stable yet responsive handling and smooth, extremely quiet ride. 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. Still, the SRX, which goes head-to-head the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class, is strictly for affluent families. And it drives more like a European sports sedan than it does a minivan or sport utility.
The SRX sports futuristic styling that stands out in a sea of boxy sport-utilities and minivans that fill school parking lots.
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.
