The XLR ia an unbelievable car to drive.The performance will amaze you. It out performs my Porsche which I also truly love. The styling sets it apart from all other cars in ANY class. The luxurious interior makes you feel like a king. I dont know what I like more, the comfort or all the looks and questions I get continuously from admirers. It is truly one of a kind.

My husband purchased my red XLR new as a present to replace another vehicle on the spur of the moment. We did not evaluate any other cars, Jag, Porsche, BMW, etc. I am thrilled with the car and loved it from the first minute I drove it. I get more thumbs up from other convertible drivers (Porsche comes to mind), teens, general passersby, than I ever have with another vehicle. This car is a beauty, comfortable, fun to drive, fast, and well designed. You'll really want to exceed the speed limit in this one, it is so smooth. The feel of a sports car with the comfort of a sedan.

My Cadillac XLR is a real head turner wherever it goes. If it is in the same lot as a Porche or Mercedes-Benz SL500, people are only interested in the XLR.

My overall experience with this car has been positive, though I have had some problems with top operation. It is a lot of fun to drive. It turns a lot of heads when on the road.

The only thing lacking is a manual six- speed transmission. Passing acceleration is breathtaking. The convertible hardtop is absolutely watertight.It was worth the wait.

Traded my 93 Allante on a Black XLR and wonder now why I didn't do it sooner. The integration of Navigation, XM Radio, HUD, Adaptive Cruise Control and all the other features makes a terrific total package. Ride & handling and performance are outstanding. Using the Vette chassis was a great engineering decision. The stiffness really helps the handling. This is a complete vehicle. Has everything I want in a personal vehicle. Just retirned from a trip to the mountains of NC. The manual trans. feature was a great step forward from the old method of downshifting an auto trans.

So much TOO say... THE BEST CAR OUT IN FRONT OF IT'S COMPETITORS, hence; THEY ARE TRAILING "XLR"! I BELIEVE "XLR" IS THE LEADER XLR IS WAY OUT IN FRONT, THERE IS NO COMPARISON! Killer sound system! QUICK ACCELERATION! I FELL REALLY RICH AND "SAFE" IN THIS FINELY MADE AUTO. HERE IS WHY, "I was in Fort Worth, Texas on a rainy cold day, when a car suddenly braked. I had to slam on my brakes! this Cadillacs' brakes work surprisingly so good that it stopped within a few feet of the rear of that car. What amazed me is we were on a decline with wet roads!!! Cadillac has the best brake system I have ever experienced!"

The daytime running and front signal lights have too high a wattage bulb. the bulb melts the lens, and reduces the assembly to junk! at $2100.00 to replace the set, and no remediation for the problem by GM, it makes for less than a good experience of ownership! The crooks at the dealership of course waited to tell me about this after the warranty was expired. I am not happy with the dealership or Cadillac Division of General Motors. It will be a cold day in hell before I get another Cadillac, or let a caddy dealer work on either my XLR, or my SRX!

The Cadillac XLR is a great car, but it is just a bit small for tall drivers (I'm 6-4). Mine had several several system problems, but all taken care of under warranty.

Car arrived last week. It is Black on Black. It has the same ride feel as my Audi A4. Love all the Gismos, Especialy the (HUD) or Head up Display, Power Retractble hard top, verry good Sound system, Adaptive cruise control, etc etc. They should have more interior color options. Overall I am pleased. Jacques

A pure attention getter. Only one on the road really turns heads. Drives like a "Luxury" sports car. Handles like a Corvette (I have one of those also). Top goes up and down like a real movie production. A real "Class Act".

IT HAS TURNED MANY HEADS. SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE CONSIDERING PURCHASING CARS. IT'S FUN TO DRIVE, IS RESPONSIVE TO GAS PEDAL, STEERING AND BREAKING. CONVERTING THE HARDTOP IS QUICK, AND DRIVE AS A CONVERTIBLE IS A JOY. QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS EXCELLENT. THE TECHNOLOGY IS AHEAD OF ITS TIME.

Brakes squeak and belts have to be greased monthly! Am told by my local dealer that the brakes squeak because all high performance cars do? Also told that there was nothing they could do about belts - it is a general motors issue - of course warranty has expired - SURPRISE!

A Cadillac that is a Corvette, Everyone wants to know what it is, everywhere we go. Who would have believed kids would be admiring a Cadillac this way, Performance and handling are exceptional...world class...AND yes, we've owned BMWs too. This is superior. This is the ultimate American Sports car and the ultimate American luxury car ever built. It surpasses everything Japan and Europe have on the market. We can buy anything we choose and we've owned many of the envied cars on the market. This is the first car we've genuinely been excited about for many years.

I learned to drive in a DeVille when I was 16. I have owned 3 Cadillacs since then. I am a 31 year old mother of two. I most recently owned a 1999 Eldorodo. I thought I wanted a CTS until I drove the XLR. They are both, supremely CADILLAC!!!! But, trying to recapture that feeling of young and free, I chose the XLR!!! Just drive one!!!! Look out Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW!!! Cadillac is back!!!!

Hello my name is Frank, I just wanted to tell everyone that if you are looking for style, comfort, and the finer things in life, and have $75,000 to buy it, then this is your car. On the other hand, it basicly has the same engine and my 1996 Mustang Cobra 4.6L 8cyl 5 speed and I payed a lot less for that car then I did this one. So in my opinion its not worth the price, I only payed for the Cadillac symbol on the front grill.
A very nice car!!!

This car is a work of art. I was driving down the Las Vegas Strip last week and a young man, who was walking around arm in arm with his girlfriend sightseeing, left her standing on the sidewalk, stepped out into the street took out his phone and snapped 3 photos of my Xenon Blue XLR. The fit and finish of this car are excellent, the engine powerfull yet somehow quiet, the handling is precise and lightning quick, the ride is amazing. this car signals a rebirth of Cadillac's proud past.

This car is unbelievable. Great fun and very powerful. The only semi-bad thing is the price. If you have to ask, you can afford it. As expected with all Cadillacs, the comfort, quality and reliability is beyond excellent. You also get a lot of attention in this car, which is usually a good thing.
