Used Cadillac XLR cars for sale

Long a byword in America for automotive luxury, Cadillac cars have set many milestones in the history of the automobile. They manufactured the first production V16 engine, the first production V8 engine, incorporated the first successful electric-self-starting engine (eliminating those pesky hand-cranks), the first synchronised transmission, as well as started the craze for those enormous tailfins of the 50’s and 60’s.

The Cadillac cars summarised here are the XLR and CTS series. Although many American manufacturers are not well-represented in the UK, non - American viewers will probably recognise the Cadillac CTS as it was seen extensively in the film ‘Matrix Reloaded’. The XLR is a high performance convertible, with 320 bhp on tap.

These Cadillac cars all feature high-spec interiors, with such driver comforts as heated seats available as standard. As one might expect from an American manufacturer, cruise control is also standard on Cadillac cars. The models on offer here begin at around £24,000, going up to a starting price of £58,000 for the sporty XLR which is full to the brim with equipment, as well as being reliable and having good handling.

All-in-all Cadillac cars compare favourably with the BMWs and Mercedes machines that they are going head to head with. They also have a modish, edgy look to them which lends them an air of unfamiliar exoticism. If you want something a little bit different from some of the run-of-the-mill executive shapes we are seeing nowadays, Cadillac cars are definitely worth investigating.
