Repairs though very few are expensive. Body parts will be more rare and expensive as the car ages. You will absolutely love it forever.

I have had 4 Corvette's before this car. When I was looking for something new and fun, Of course I looked at the C6 Vette's but I liked the interior and exterior color combos they both offered. I prefer this color of the infared and Shale color combo over any the Corvette had to offer. Plus this car rides great. With it's weight distribution of 50/50, I have not broken the rear end loose once driving the Ca. Sierra roads. Just a wonderful car. Very much a hear turner everywhere I go.

Before purchasing the XLR V, only 2,188 were produced, I test drove the Base model XLR over 13,500 produced as well. My only comment on the V model is that it's an upgraded base model on steroids. Love the additional supercharged power, acceleration and the sound of the engine when the pedal is put to the metal. I only participate in car shows and average 800 miles yearly. 9.9 times out of 10 times, it's the only XLR V in attendance surrounded by Ferraris, Lambos, MBZs, BMWs, Jaguars, Teslas and other exotic cars. Haven't had any mechanical issues since my initial purchase in Nov 2014. Counting my lucky stars when I hit the starter button. Buy it, drive it, if you want daily attention. As a senior citizen, I'm in the 4th quarter of my life and the XLR V will take me to my end game with a smile on my face. A previous Vette and Porsche owner and they don't even come close IMHO. Since the car is out of production as of 2009, certain spare parts are impossible to find. Example, head and tail lights. Don't have an accident.

I traded a 2005 Honda S2000 for this car - WOW! This is a car that I never believed that an US car company would build, let alone Cadillac. Its handling is up there with the top line BMW and Mercedes. Its gas mileage is 20-22 mpg. This is a very nice ride.
Love the XLR-V

Owning and driving this vehicle has been a dream come true. It has performance, handling, comfort and style. I constantly receive compliments on it. Cadillac has done a fine job with this vehicle. My Son can say, "This is my father's Cadillac.' Smile, and have a blessed day.
The XLR-V is a Great Car

This is the best car for driving, looking and owning. It's the greatest car that I have ever owned. Its acceleration and handling couldn't be better.
Almost Perfect

I have owned several head turning cars and motor cycles, but this beats them all. From old ladies to young men and kids, people have chased me through parking lots and tried to flag me down on the street, just to get a look and learn more about it. They are usually shocked to find out that it is a Cadillac. Yes, this happens to the point it that it is a problem. Aside from that, it is great fun to drive. The acceleration and handling are so very nice, yet the car is so refined. It is simply a refined "wildcar". It has an amazingly fantastic aftermarket sound (meaning the engine). The great sound system is stock.

This is the fastest car I have ever had. It drives extremely smoothly and has great power with a bit of a whine like I have heard on newer airplanes. It drives great, however, I am not a high tech guy and this car is high tech. It take a lot of effort to ot to learn to appreciate everything. It comes with a pre-packaged cell phone and OnStar, which is very cool. This car is sharp. I love the power and am surprised that I haven't been pulled over yet. The high tech features make it attractive to others that haven't seen the digital info projected like 3D over the steering wheel at the front of the car. The radio blares and for a sports car. It has a very smooth ride.

I've had a few performance parts put on my car and it really makes me smile when I put my foot into it. Dynoede at 465 HP to the ground.

2006 XLR-V thoughts

These cars are very cool but quite expensive to repair, headlights and taillights are currently selling USED for over $2500 each. So, if you are diving one keep you distance from hoopleheads on their phones. The "V" version with near 450 hp from it's hand built supercharged 4.4 liter engine is fun to drive, the 6 speed auto handles the energy just fine. 0-60 in about 4.6 secs. It does not ride like a Cadillac, more like a Vette, especially since it's based on the C6 Vette. The rear end trans makes the balance near 50-50 so handling is fine. Beware with the top down storage is minimal, however I usually travel top up with the luggage then take it out at the destination and drop the top! These cars are yet to be appreciated but I expect they will soon.

I bought the XLR-V because I wanted something new and different. The car had a beautiful look. I've had it for almost two years and I love it. People walk up to me and tell me that my car is outstanding. I've had no problems with this car, only one minor recall for programing. I would recomend the XLR very highly.
