  2 years of ownership - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By edwestrfld - June 11 - 3:25 pm

  The car is a blast to drive and always turns heads on the road. I have lost count of the number of people giving me the thumbs up. The XLR has been a solid performer. I had one computer chip issue in the first two months, which was quickly fixed. My car was one of the first off the line, and had brake squeal with low speed stops. Cadillac replaced all four rotors with upgrades. All subsequent cars produced have the same rotors. Have had one chip in the paint on the retractable roof. External trunk release was replaced. You do have to tell the carwash guys the trunk is "powered" and you dont close it by hand. Also has a hidden panel they inevitably dont clean.

  AWESOME - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By caddy lover - June 10 - 4:31 pm

  I have driven the Cadillac XLR and it is amazing, better than I would have expected. I got more stares from people than with my Mercedes-Benz. Its just a great car, which few people have which makes it even better.

  Birthday Present from Wife - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By Charley Dickey - June 2 - 1:21 pm

  I love 2005 Cadillac XLR. I can change it from hard top to convertible at a stop light! It is a pleasure to drive. Unfortunately, its luggage space with the top down is practically nil.

  second one - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By howdy - May 31 - 1:59 pm

  I enjoyed my first Cadillac XLR, a 2004 model, so much that traded it in for a new 2005 model! I have been a Chevrolet Corvette nut for many years (from 1965 on - and have owned several). The XLR fits better for comfort and style. Instead of the old Corvette wave, the XLR demands the ogle of admiration from those who see it on the road. There still are not very many out there.

  Excellent Car to Drive - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By greg holloway - May 29 - 7:51 am

  The exterior and interior look of the Cadillac XLR "turns heads" everywhere you go. Its power and handling feel like a race car. No car make compares with the comfort of Cadillac and the interior seats, by comparison to all other two door sports cars, is unparallelled. Its strong standard features do not make you want to do add ons. This is an exceptional car - GM did this right.

  Corvette with Class - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By Matt Lucchese - May 27 - 5:55 pm

  The Cadillac XLR is absolutly fantastic! it handles as well as my best friends Chevrolet Corvette, but it isnt as fast. The car looks much better than the vette, and with the luxurious interior, is much more comfortable than it. Having the hardtop convertible is the best feature of the car because youll never have the old rag look.

  Cadillac XLR - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By SR - May 20 - 1:59 pm

  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.

  Most Impressive - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By Allan - May 3 - 10:40 am

  I previously had a Mercedes-Benz 500SL, which cost close to $20,000 more than my Cadillac XLR. Even if the numbers were the same I would still opt for the XLR. Across the board, this is one of the best and fun to drive vehicles that I have ever had.

  By BobJ - April 30 - 1:55 pm

  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.

  New Cadillac XLR 2005 - 2005 Cadillac XLR
  By John L Martin - April 21 - 2:16 pm

  The new 2005 Cadillac XLR competes easily with the Mercedes-Benz SL500 and has in my examination surppassed the it for ease of driver use. Cadillacs XLR technology integration is the best in its class. The edge in overall performance goes to the XLR. The interior luxury is on par with the SL500 with the XLRs looking more modern. Its general styling best in its class. Its comtemporary edge makes heads turn. Everyday driving is where the XLR excels with all features standard except for XM digital radio. In summary, the Cadillac XLR is sitting at the first position in luxury sports roadsters when you consider the price.
