XLR Turns Heads

The XLR is the perfect car to cruise the boulevard and turn heads from young and old alike. We just like to drive around and watch people watch us. So many come up to us when parked that we have made new friends all up and down the east coast. It sounds like a hot rod and doesn't disappoint on performance. The car has all the luxury features one could ask for though cabin storage is really non-existant.

I purchased this car in Cathedral City, CA and drove it cross country to FL. What a joy! The handling and ride were outstanding. This is my dream car, I can't even imagine anything topping it, although I am sure they will in years to come.

Fast ready to go and ease of driving is amazing. Has more immediate turn on a dime ability. Steering is tight precise and direct.

Awesome car. I liked the old saying " the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys". It is truly a fun car to drive and it turns a lot of heads. To me there are only 2 things that are negative and that is since I'm very tall and 79 years old,I fall into the seat and since the car is so low to the ground you don't have that smooth ride like a larger Cadillac as in my SRX. But I don't have an issue with this fantastic toy. The one other drawback is General Motors does not make repair parts anymore.
