Best Features?

What is everyones favorite feature on the XLR, (wether you own one or not)

I think the buttonless entry and not having to fool around with a key to start the car is awesome.....as is cooled seats!!! Anyone else?

Re: Best Features?

There a a lot of things I like about this car! I was also going to say the no-key ignition, but I like the Bvlgari remote that alerts the car to your presence, unlocks the door, and sets-up for you!! Usually I am not dazzled by technology, but for this car I am a believer!

I love the honey-colored eucalyptus veneer. I like lighter colors for wood, Canada and the U.S. seem to like the darker "cottage" look for wood color, but I'm with the Europeans on this one.

I like how the cruise control has a built in radar, and maintains a safe distance from the next car in front of you. However, this might get annoying if you want to pass someone, do you have to shut it off each time?

I like the fact the top is something that is not as vulnerable to vandals, as it is made of a magnesium and composite, and only takes 20 ***edited by buildingctsamg (you had minutes)*** seconds to go up or down with the press of a button. There is more, but I don't want to hog this thread.

Uhh... duh the Performance!!! Actually the cooled seats is getting more and more common but the Presence Remote thing is totally awesome, as is Sound system and the sheer power of the thing.

Re: Best Features?

I know this is off the topic, but one of the coolest features i have had on any car was my maxda 626 which had oscillating air vents. More cars should have this option.

Re: Best Features?

The whole car is beautiful. I would not buy it for performance, but certainly for a top-down cruiser and gadget showcase. The cooled seats are excellent :coolgleam

Re: Best Features?

There's nothing like cruising in a Cadillac except cruising in a Cadillac with it's top down. The whole car works for me.

Re: Best Features?

In my opinion, the best thing it has it's the Manual Tap-up/Tap-down transmission ! Race Time !!
The buttonless entry is awesome too ... actually like you all said, everything about this car is cool !

Peace !!

Re: Best Features?

I've had mine for about a month now (red with black interior, license "CARGASM"). My ranking of the best features (I'm excluding the overall gorgeous look, since that is not, per se, a "feature"):

1. Fast (20 seconds) top up-down; and
2. Amazing radar-assist speed control. It really works, including applying some brake when someone cuts you off. And it speeds up nicely when the "coast is clear" again. It is better than the Mercedes 600, which I drove for awhile.
3. The cooled seats are great here in FL (particularly since I chose a black interior).
4. The integrated sound-navigation system is awesome, particularly the XM radio. I will be looking to purchase an aftermarket box that will enable the DVD player to work when not in "park" (For the passenger, of course, I would not want it to interfere with my cellphone use).
5. The performance is amazing. My other car is a supercharged Jag, but the Caddy XLR runs rings around it. The selectable gear transmission brings out the kid in me.
6. The voice-recognition personal calling.
7. The novelty of the keyless entry, while nice, and a great conversation piece, wears off after awhile. Its other aspects, like driver memory settings, have been around forever. I'd rank it as "cute".

On the negative side (albeit very minor issues):

A. Driver leg-room is ample (I'm 6'4"), but the foot controls should be adjustable. They are just too close.
B. Great trunk with the top up. But top down it holds 2 briefcases, and nothing more. And the trunk "barrier" (so that the top will know nothing is in its way) is quite cheesy. But heck, who buys this great car for cross-country trips. That's why God invented Beechcraft.
C. The "auto exit" system (moving the seat and steering wheel out of the way) is too slow. It only starts working when you push the door exit button, and the steering wheel adjusts last (it should be first).

I love this car, almost enough to insert a "smiley face" (but then someone would have to shoot me).
