Explore the 2009 Cadillac XLR

Test drive one! You will want one.

I saw one and fell in love. I didn't know what it was. I looked at and drove a few and bought 09 XLR-Platinum. Take your time and find the right one it's worth the wait.

Luxury and Performance

An elegant Grand Tourer that still turns heads and drives brilliantly. The XLR has many features including adaptive cruise control, heads-up display, memory seats, dual zone air, heated and cooled seats, and many more. The experience is want you'd expect from Cadillac, the performance and precise handling is exhilarating.

This car made even me look good.

I bought the car because I loved the look most of all, but I learned that I loved the handling and comfort just as much.

2nd xlr I?ve owned

I?m a disabled veteran & it?s a task getting in & out of it, but driving it makes me feel 20 years younger. It draws much more attention that desired but the pros exceedingly outweigh the cons.

Great car, Cadillac should have kept it available

Really enjoyed the XLR. Great performance, great gas milage getting 23 city up to 31 on highway. Very dependable. Only problem was cramped cabin. Comfortble but NO room for even the smallest ice chest of other needed item when traveling. Plenty of trunk space even with top down. Would consider another if they were put back into production .

Retired

For the past 20 years, my toy car was an 82 Corvette with a crate engine. Now that i'm retired it was time to retire my land rocket for something more my age, so i bought the Corvette of Cadillacs...The XLR. Best decision I ever made. The car is perfect for my fair weathered, weekend trips to anywhere. The features far surpassed my vettte. (I'm actually still trying to figure out all the buttons, revealing the hidden goodies this car offers. Great car and I would recommend it to anyone.
