I have previously owned Lexus products including the SC430 and I feel that the Americans, specifically Cadillac have hit the mark on the XLR. It is more powerful, more advanced and certainly more fun to dry than the Lexus. This is remarkable considering that the Lexus is one of the best cars in the world. I feel that the XLR proves that American automakers can, when they want, build a car that is second to none.

Wow- Car gets the looks, I wish the wood grain would not scrach so easy. Fun to drive with top down. Radio needs better antenna, but sound is great.

My 2005 Cadillac XLR has been better than I expected in terms of being fun to drive and the build quality. I have not had any problems with it at all at all after six months of ownership. Heads turn constantly when I drive by. This car is faster than I can go, quicker than I need, and turns and brakes better than my last Porsche. My oonly problem with it, and this is a minor gripe, is that when backing out of a parking space, the roll bar partially blocks my view.

I love my XlR, it's sporty and goes very fast! Although, it has been in the shop for repairs many times! It had to have a new rear end put in, the air conditioner worked on and the speed control worked on. But all in all it's a beautiful car, not for long trips not much trunk space and really not that comfortable after 8hrs. My husband thinks the driver's seat is very uncomfortable but I don't. I feel bad that I rated the relibility of it poorly, we have had Cad. for a long time and never had much trouble. Our dealer is very nice and always has a loaner car ready for us. Maybe because it's so new we just have to get the bugs out.

This car blows the BMW's that I have been driving off the road. The XLR is fast, handles great, and extremely comfortable. I also love the bold design and I have been stopped many times by admirers of the car. Taking the XLR on road trips is a joy, allowing one to enjoy both the power and comfort of the car.
