Been a member of this forum for the past
two years since I leased my very first Cadillac.
I ended up leasing a LOADED 2008 CTS.
Best car I ever drove hands down.
About to get into a new lease. Initially It
was an easy choice to get into a 2010 CTS
(310 HP). I would get the premium vehicle
loaded with every option for about $51k.
The thought of getting an SRX didn't interest
me, that is until I was on a business trip
in San Francisco and saw a candy red SRX
on display outside of the Ghirardelli Chocolate
Factory.
Not nearly as ugly a vehicle as I thought.
In fact, as I thought about it, I liked the idea
of being higher up on the road almost as if
I was in a SUV but not as huge.
So now I have to pick either going with a
familiar CTS or possibly stepping into an SRX.
So, to help decide, I thought I would ask
your opinion....
Being that the CTS has been voted as one
of the best American vehicles why should
I consider going to a SRX?
Am I going to lose any luxury comfort or
power? What am I gaining with the SRX?
The only immediate downside I noticed
is that the SRX is 265HP vs. 305 for the CTS.
Finally, does it take regular gas like the
CTS? That was a huge plus to owning that
vehicle.
I would love to hear comments from owners.
Thanks in advance.
