Cadillac XLR for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Powerful Northstar V8, Corvette underpinnings provide excellent handling, retractable hardtop.

Cons

Interior lacks the polish of its European rivals, love-it-or-hate-it styling.

What’s new

The XLR is an all-new luxury roadster from Cadillac.

Edmunds says

Cadillac's best shot yet at regaining premier status in the luxury car world.

XLR lifer, 12/17/2004

2004 Cadillac XLR 2dr Roadster (4.6L 8cyl 5A)

The XLR ia an unbelievable car to drive.The performance will amaze you. It out performs my Porsche which I also truly love. The styling sets it apart from all other cars in ANY class. The luxurious interior makes you feel like a king. I dont know what I like more, the comfort or all the looks and questions I get continuously from admirers. It is truly one of a kind.

My Cadillac XLR is a real head turner wherever it goes. If it is in the same lot as a Porche or Mercedes-Benz SL500, people are only interested in the XLR.
