Cadillac XLR (2004)
for sale

Price: US $15,000.00

Description:

Exquisitely maintained low milage XLR. For six years, the two-seat Cadillac XLR roadster was Cadillac's flagship vehicle. Though it shared the same platform as the contemporary Corvette, the XLR variant was not a simple case of corporate badge engineering. It was more of a grand touring machine than a hard-edged sports car, as the Caddy's responses were softer and comfortably refined. It also used a more subdued 4.6-liter 320-horsepower V8 engine rather than the Vette's bigger and edgier V8 power plant.
The use of lightweight components such as aluminum suspension pieces and composite body panels kept the Cadillac XLR from being a bloated luxury two-seater. In addition, the standard Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension system automatically firmed up or softened the suspension based on driving conditions, ensuring generally smooth and responsive maneuvers. The combination of bold, angular styling outside and distinctive eucalyptus-wood cockpit accents gave the XLR a sophisticated presence. Further, the XLR's power-retractable hardtop roof allowed the comfort and security of a coupe when the top was raised.
The Cadillac XLR was a two-seat luxury roadster offered from 2004-'09 that featured a retractable hardtop roof. The XLR came with just about all of the luxury features you'd expect, including 18-inch alloy wheels with run-flat tires, adaptive xenon HID headlights, adaptive cruise control, heated leather seats with plenty of power adjustments, dual-zone automatic climate control, a head-up display, a navigation system and a Bose audio system with satellite radio and a CD changer.
A refined yet muscular 4.6-liter V8 powered the XLR. Initially, a five-speed automatic transmission sent the Northstar V8's 320 hp and 310 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Regardless of transmission, the XLR was a spirited enough performer, with 0-60-mph sprints taking less than 6 seconds and high-speed cruising that was effortless and hushed. Full-throttle shifts were very quick, and the sound of the engine at speed was as good as or better than any V8 in its class. Antilock disc brakes, run-flat tires, a tire-pressure monitor, stability control, head/torso side-impact airbags and rear parking sensors were all standard.
Inside, the Cadillac XLR had rich wood trim and aluminum accents in addition to comfortable leather seating. Altogether it was a clean-looking, modern and warm cabin. It did have its fair share of state-of-the-art technologies such as a head-up display (which showed speed, fuel level and audio status on the windshield), adaptive cruise control and a large touchscreen mounted high in the center stack (which kept the dash free of numerous single-use buttons).
