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.

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.

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 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.
