I have a 2010 Cadillac SRX 3.0L Premium Crossover from Crest Cadillac in Plano<\/a> for a weekend test drive review.\u00a0 You can find all of my Test Drive reports tagged Test Drive<\/a>.\u00a0 All articles regarding the SRX can be found in the SRX category<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Saturday night my Wife and I picked up my Brother & Sister In Law and attended Sex in the City 2 at the Gold Class Cinema<\/a> in Fairview, Texas.\u00a0 Gold Class Cinema is an upscale approach to dinner and a movie.\u00a0 We were celebrating my Sister In Law’s birthday, and this made for a very nice evening out.<\/p>\n

The Cadillac SRX of course was excellent for picking up another couple and enjoying a more formal evening.\u00a0 It is easy access in\/out, and has very good rear seat space and leg room.<\/p>\n

The Premium Model Cadillac SRX includes a backup camera view.\u00a0 Here is the view out the back of the SRX:<\/p>\n

and this is an equivalent view from the backup camera as shown on the navigation display:<\/p>\n

Note that this is an augmented reality display.\u00a0 The light orange grid highlights the projected backup path of the SRX based on the current angle of the steering wheel.\u00a0 So if I proceed to backup right now, that is where the SRX is going.\u00a0 I had no problem seeing out the back of the SRX, but I love the backup camera aid, the integration of the projected path of the vehicle, the whole approach.\u00a0 This is a very nice execution.<\/p>\n

The 2010 Cadillac SRX Premium includes as standard equipment Adaptive Forward Lighting.\u00a0 This feature causes the headlights to ‘steer’ along with the turn of the front wheels, lighting your intended path of travel.\u00a0 This is a very desirable feature, as it makes it quite a bit easier to see at night, and lets you see potential obstacles faster.\u00a0 This is another small detail feature of the best Cadillacs that is almost a footnote in the ordering guide or the window sticker but makes a real difference in the enjoyment of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
