2004 Cadillac XLR 2dr Roadster (4.6L 8cyl 5A)
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 First Cadillac

2004 Cadillac XLR 2dr Roadster (4.6L 8cyl 5A)
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.
love it

2004 Cadillac XLR 2dr Roadster (4.6L 8cyl 5A)
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.
