Cadillac offers the 2010 SRX with two engine choices, a direct injection 3-liter V-6 making 265 horsepower, or this turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 making 300 horsepower. The former engine gets about 1 mpg better fuel economy.

Offering the same capacity as a traditional SUV, the SRX seats five, and includes room for luggage.

The SRX uses a conventional suspension, although ant-sway bars give it a sporting character.

A six-speed automatic is the only transmission choice for the SRX. It has manual and sport modes, the latter being suitably aggressive in downshifting.

An Eco button on the console runs the engine at lower speeds. We didn't notice much difference between normal and Eco modes.

The controls below the clock let you choose menu items on the cabin tech interface, but the LCD is also a touch screen, which is useful for alphanumeric inputs.

We particularly like that the navigation system proactively warns about bad traffic on the road ahead.
