XLR - The Complete Personal Car

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.

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!

Great car, just a bit small for tall

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.
