2010 3.0 FWD Luxury SRX/2011 3.6L AWD CTS Performance Sport Wagon
This is just a base vehicle comparison, and my personal observation only.
I realize I could have got the additional options on a SRX Performance model.
As I have mentioned, the Gen 2 SRX is an AWESOME vehicle. But coming from a Gen 1 SRX, which rode more like a car, the Gen 2, just wasn’t the vehicle for me.
I wish nothing more than happy ownership to you all.
Observations after 5 days of wagon ownership
What I like about the wagon:
Rides like a car, oh, it is a car!! and very responsive (sport suspension)
A whole lot quieter
Less gear searching
Waaaay more zip
A/C actually works!!!
Cargo fence
Seat memory, actually remembers!!!!!
Nearly the same cargo space
My Link
Rear View Camera
Fog Lamps
Evolution Green, bugs blend in.
The same sunroof as the SRX
The get the blank oughta my way front end appearance
What I don’t like about the wagon, and will miss:
Ambient lighting doesn’t continue to the rear doors, no floor lighting
A lot less door storage
A lot less console storage
Tighter cockpit
No power folding mirrors
No time display in DIC
Falling in, instead of sliding in
No push button start
No hidden trailer hitch
Cheesey sunroof shade
Not being part of the SRX forum (lots of good members here)
What I won’t miss at all:
SUV ride
SUV noise (road & wind)
Gear searching
Tranny Drone at 75-80mph
White Diamond. Though beautiful, it shows every chip, bug, etc
What I gained, and just love, but paid for it!!
3.6L V6
AWD
Performance Model
Performance Luxury Package:
Heated/Cooled seats
Heated steering wheel
Power tilt/tele wheel
HID Adaptive Forward Lighting
Passive Entry
Polished wheels
