World Class Car - 2005 Cadillac XLR
By David Toth - July 8 - 6:49 amThis car blows the BMWs 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.

Awesome - 2005 Cadillac XLR
By Sharon - January 5 - 4:16 pmI traded a 1993 red Corvette for my 2005 Xenon Blue XLR and I have no regrets. I get whistles, thumbs up, nice color, nice car comments from people ages 16 to 75. Truly a fun car to drive and own.

Bought It Used, Saved Depreciation - 2005 Cadillac XLR
By qgsm33 - January 8 - 10:47 pmI looked hard at the Mercedes SLK55 and the SL500. I couldnt afford the SL500 (ouch). The regular SLKs (350, 280, etc) didnt have enough horsepower to really compare. The SLK55 was almost impossible to find used with fairly low miles. Although the SLK55 is a great car, it just seemed too small for me. My daughter said "you look like an elephant riding a peanut" (referring to the short wheel base and short overall car length). Mercedes made a big deal out of their hard top retracting in 19 seconds vs. 30 seconds for the Caddy. My only trouble on the Caddy has been the computer thinking the top isnt fully locked when you hit a hard bump. That has been fixed now via some reprogramming.

A Great and Fun Car - 2005 Cadillac XLR
By Bill - November 25 - 6:31 pmThis vehicle is not only fun to drive, but undoubtedly it gets the most looks of any car on the road.

Amazed - 2005 Cadillac XLR
By Jetboy - November 11 - 11:17 pmI truly expected to have some problems with this car being limited production and a new design with complicated electronics and top but to my amazement it has been totally trouble free for 16,000 miles now with hundreds of top down cycles. I was considering a Vette when I found this, much better choice for comfort while not giving up much in handling or performance.

XLR, Best of the Breed - 2005 Cadillac XLR
By GoVols - August 13 - 7:04 pmThis is the most commented-on car I have had since I owned a 1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 in the 70s. It has power, performance, comfort and (most of all) style. From its front angles it looks like the Batmobile. I am very happy with the car. The only problem is the touch screen for audio/mav/etc. is unreadable with the top down on a sunny day.

An Excellant Review - 2005 Cadillac XLR
By XL R Roadster - May 17 - 11:11 pmI had always wanted a Corvette and had been looking at Corvettes. I took my Cadillac DeVille in for service and they were asking me when I was going to trade. I told them I was wanting something different. They told me about the XLR that was coming out. When they got one in they called me to look at it and I fell in love with it. It is so much fun to drive and really turns heads. I have a second car and I dont drive it every day. I took a trip to Lafayette, LA and it was a pleasure. It is totally a sports car. I have thoroughly enjoyed this car.

Needs more trunk space - 2005 Cadillac XLR
By Frank - September 1 - 9:36 pmWow- 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.

A Great Car - Fun to Drive - 2005 Cadillac XLR
By LeeRoyLRT - August 16 - 11:07 pmThis is one fine automobile. Quality inside and out. Very quite with great performance. Finally a true sports car with luxury. I love the crash avoidance system, yes you may call it cruise control, but on the way home from a trip and it senses vehicles in front of me in a torrential down pour and I am only going 47 mph and I cant see them. I think much more highly of this option than of normal cruise control. Go GM, especially Cadillac.
