    Cadillac XLR

    EPA MPG: 20 mpg

    RECALL ALERT:
    There is 1 recall on this vehicle. Learn More.

    Road Test

    The XLR is an elegant hardtop convertible with a refined powertrain. But despite being based on the Chevrolet Corvette, it feels less sporty than the less expensive Cadillac CTS and STS sedans. Unlike the Corvette, it uses Cadillac's smaller, less-potent Northstar V8. Ultimately, the XLR comes up short in ride, handling, and interior refinement.
