  • Excellent Car to Drive - 2005 Cadillac XLR
    By -

    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 -

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 -

    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.

  • No XM radio - 2005 Cadillac XLR
    By -

    Bought my 2005 Cadillac XLR in November 2003. It was the fourth XLR delivered to dealership. Cadillac had not figured out where to put the XM antenna, which is now located on center of the trunk lid. I miss having XM radio, but will order it on a new 2006 XLR. This is a nice car and it is very confortable on long trips.

  • Great Car - 2005 Cadillac XLR
    By -

    Great Car whoever designed it sure knew what they were doing. It is really fun to drive, and before you know it you are up to 100 miles an hour. Just going down the highway is hard without going about 70 because it doesnt seem like you are going even 30.

  • Not your typical Caddiac - 2005 Cadillac XLR
    By -

    I love the Cadillac XLR. I have been a Cadillac gal for fifteen years and my husband is a Corvette fan. If he were alive we would have two in the garage. It has the peppy fun ride of a Corvette, but the comfort of a Cadillac.

  • Cadillac joins the Big League - 2005 Cadillac XLR
    By -

    If the crisp creases of the XLRs lines get your attention right away, then the cockpit comfort and layout just reinforce the fact that Cadillac has built one seriious sports car. It has all the gizmos, and some, but all serve to enhance the driving experrience and not confuse and overtwhelm the enthusiast. It is quick of the blocks, but with finesse rather than machismo. The XLRs handling is precise and exhilerating. The retractable top is an engineering masterpice and delivers a whisper quiet interrior when up, and a head turning air in the hair thrill when stowed. Its clean lines, luxury, and power combine to deliver a grand touring roadster to compete with the best Europe has to offer.
