If you want power and finesse, look no further than the 2004 Cadillac XLR. Cadillac found redemption with this new model after an unsuccessful run with the Allante. Equipped with a 4.6 L, 320 hp V8 engine, this 2 door, 2 seat roadster convertible accelerates from 0-60 mph in 6 seconds. The unique Magnetic Ride Control shock absorbers use iron particles to sense every contour in the road.
The 2004 Cadillac XLR gets you 17 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the highway. In addition, the XLR comes in a 2 door convertible trim with standard features that include power windows, power door locks, leather seats, power seats, ABS brakes, traction control, stability control, cd player, and a navigation system. Cargo space beats the competition in its class with 11.6 cubic feet when you leave the top up, 4.4 with the top down. Speaking of the top, reviewers estimate that it takes 30 seconds to fold down with one push of a button. The interior provides ample room and quality materials for a coupe. Tech afficionados will appreciate the keyless ignition and doors. In short, reviewers rave about the Cadillac XLR. One consumer even went so far as to say "I have died and gone to Heaven" after driving one. Good luck finding one though. Cadillac made only around 4,000 XLR's during the first model year and prices might make you think twice before buying. In any event, work hard, follow your dreams, and maybe you too can one day cruise around in this acclaimed status symbol.
What owners say
"Overall, owners really enjoy the classic convertible design and sporty look of the 2004 Cadillac XLR. They appreciate its solid build and advanced features like heated and cooled seats, navigation, and a heads-up display. However, some owners have pointed out the expensive repairs and the tight interior space, especially for taller drivers. A few also mention that parts can be costly and hard to find."
The car is built solid there's no comparison for that year of o2 to this car but owning this car the Cadillac XLR is going to cost a lot because you cannot buy over the counter or redone parts for this car they will be 3/10 more than what the normal price would have been if the car continued to be produced
April 9, 2025It was a great car, a little tight for 6’1”, if in storage use tender, keep in mind this is not a Corvette not that I wanted one , but overall nicely put together, handling was great, I would buy again. The looks of a sports car, the comfort of a Cadillac, and a taste of a Corvette.
January 17, 2022Xenon Blue, Shale interior, the most aming car i've ever owned. From soup to nut this car has it, heated and cooled seats, Heads Up Display, Navigation, 6 Disk in dash. And its a hard top converible. Cant beat it

December 22, 2009I love a convertible and this is classic, too bad Cadillac stopped producing them.
June 15, 2020This is a very fun car to drive! Love the sporty look. Repairs have been expensive but we did purchase an extended warranty so that really helped. Put on some really nice road tires and this will preform much better.
