Cadillac XLR-V reviews

2008 Cadillac XLR-V Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 2008 Cadillac XLR-V:

• In the rarefied realm of the $100 grand luxury sport roadster, the XLR-V acquits itself handsomely with its combination of edgy style, strong performance and a boatload of luxury features.- Edmunds.com

• The suspension, transmission, steering and brakes of the XLR-V have all been artfully upgraded as well as the engine, to produce a car that accelerates, corners, stops and rides in a way that?s more aggressive, tighter, sharper and more tied to the road than is a standard XLR, yet that remains true to Cadillac standards of comfort and luxury.- Forbes

What reviewers liked least about the 2008 Cadillac XLR-V:

• The Cadillac XLR-V's cabin is attractive, but attractive simply isn't good enough for a car in this price range.- Edmunds.com

• The steering is like a late-in-life Marlon Brando having a root canal: weighty but numb. It gains some feel over the base XLR's rack but still isn't communicative enough...- Automobile

Best one-liners about the 2008 Cadillac XLR-V:

• Though not without flaws, the 2007 Cadillac XLR-V, thanks to its thundering V8, impressive feature list and distinctive looks, is a poignant alternative to the more common luxury roadsters and convertibles from Europe.- Edmunds.com
