  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.

  First Cadillac, no surprises - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By Fibbidiboo - August 7 - 10:43 am

  Frankly, I must be naive. Thinking GM- the large bank that also makes cars- could compete with the finest autos from Lexus, BMW and Mercedes reveals a sudden lapse in judgment. Yes, the Eucalyptus wood is beautiful but the bin doors are pure Cavalier quality. Sure the design is provacative, but evidently engineer imagination must have been worn out by the time they got to the wheels. I mean do all new Cadillac shoes have to look the same? But the biggest clue to engineering misfires evidenced itself on a recent 1,200 mile trip in which the heat from the transmission tunnel fused my vitamins together in the trunk. And getting it to recognize the FOB so that I can start it is a hope/prayer.

  Everthing I had expected is coming true as this baby boomer really wanted a fast and exciting entry level two seater. It excellent and quick to respond. The oil life seems to be okay and gas mileage okay. I have never been in a vechicle that people have given there thumbs up on the style of it.

  out too soon? - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By Chris - June 10 - 10:03 am

  Many details were missed in my Cadillac XLR. For example, when you raise the trunk lid outside in the rain the water drains off the forward lid and into the trunk. This causes a damp, musty odor and wets anything inside. The electronics on the car are very complicated and the owners manual is poorly written. If a passenger who is not familiar with the car is left inside without a fob, they cant get out. This is very dangerous in an emergency! There is an electrical drain on the battery. When my car not used 2 or 3 days the battery dies. This has happened 3 times in 18 months requiring road service. Most of the aforemtioned problems are fixable and would make the ownership experience much more enjoyable, but Cadillac has a deaf ear!

  Fun and eye catching Car - 2005 Cadillac XLR

  When driving to my destination a Porche tried to overtake my Cadillac. I smoked him out of the gate and he gave me a thumbs up!

  My XLR - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By Elizabeth Henderson - July 10 - 2:00 am

  I love my XlR, its 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 its a beautiful car, not for long trips not much trunk space and really not that comfortable after 8hrs. My husband thinks the drivers seat is very uncomfortable but I dont. 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 its so new we just have to get the bugs out.
