"Beautiful car!!! Lines on it are awesome. Gets sooo many looks it's unreal. Several guys have approached me about my "bat-mobile." A worthwhile car that doesn't beat you up. Ride is decent to pretty nice depending upon your subjective likes/dislikes. Softer than a corvette for sure and much quieter. ALL leather interior makes a HUGE difference. Not only for sound but also looks! Corners very, very well. I've taken a 90 degree turn at 45, no problem...better hang on though. Tires are very wide. All 4 tires are the same size. Acceleration is okay...engine roar is more exciting. 325hp does get up and go. If you stay out of it, 29-30 mpg is possible on the hwy. In the city, 12-14mpg. Semi-auto with manual on the stick is subpar. If you've ever driven a Porsche or a BMW, the Caddy cannot hang with the aforementioned's pattle shifting capabilities. I would peg a Corvette to be the same as the XLR in this sense. Top is really easy to operate. Press a button and hold it down for 20-30 seconds and presto...you're ready to go. Road noise with top down is surprisingly quiet. With the windows up, you can have a conversation and be understood. No yelling or having to raise your voice. Great car. Replacement parts are expensive b/c it's a Caddy. Have had the care for 8 months and only 1 major mechanical problem. Gear shift stuck in park. Got a clever work around though. Other than that, car purrs. Mines black and it's awesome! Enjoy!"

"Very responsive, having problems with the power steering, very hard to steer but no other problems. Would trade for a low mileage V series."

"It's great on the highway very fast if step on!!!!! Light blubs are very high & oil changes but other than that it's a great fast car. A eye blower when driving on the road. GM's best !!!!!!!!! Summer time when top down it's great treat to yourself. A Man's older car that score points in driving."
