Model Strengths:
Corvette-like performance in a Cadillac package; convenient retractable hard top; magnetic ride control, distinctive styling.
Model Changes:
Cadillac's wedgy XLR convertible sees few changes for 2009. Certain exterior colors and interior wood trim accents have been deleted, as have the "Supercharged" emblem from the doors of the XLR-V model. The Platinum Edition becomes the base XLR.New features include updated wheels for the XLR-V, restyled grille and fog lamps, Bluetooth capability with next-generation OnStar 8.0, a leather-wrapped upper interior area on both XLR and XLR-V, and a few new interior trim combinations.
Model Value:
The 2009 Cadillac XLR features a standard retractable hard top, which most of its competitors don't. The Cadillac is more elegantly simple than many of its peers, as well, with no complex driving electronics and no performance adjustments to be made. Its Corvette underpinnings make it a potent luxury drop-top on par with the Mercedes SL and Jaguar XK models.
Model Overview:
The 2009 XLR and XLR-V remain Cadillac's high-end performance cars. Introduced in 2005 and using the Corvette as a point of inspiration, the XLR offers style and performance with generous amounts of leather and wood trim. It also has a softer suspension setup than many two-seaters in its class, which makes it much easier to live with day in and out than most of its rivals.The XLR is equipped with a 320-hp 4.8L V8 and a 6-speed automatic transmission. It features four-wheel traction control and GM's magnetic ride control, a system that, through magnetic-reactive fluid, allows the suspension firmness to be adjusted multiple times per second.The standard features list is extensive, as is typical from the Cadillac nameplate. The XLR rides on 18-inch polished aluminum wheels and has LED taillights and steering-reactive HID headlights. The interior is furnished with eight-way power leather heated and cooled front seats. A tire pressure monitor, keyless access, and dual-zone climate control are also standard, as well as a head-up display that indicates speed, gear position, audio player information and fuel level on the inside of the windshield. The XLR also includes helpful electronic aides such as ultrasonic rear parking assist and adaptive cruise control.The XLR-V is the ultra-high performance variant of the XLR. It comes powered by a 4.4L V8 with an Eaton-Roots supercharger that makes 443 hp, and it teams up with a 6-speed automatic transmission with driver shift control. The magnetic ride control settings are firmer and the suspension gets tweaked with larger stabilizer bars and stiffer bushings for more precise handling. The XLR-V also utilizes larger brakes and bigger wheels and tires. The result is race car performance with Cadillac comfort. A navigation system is standard.

2009 Cadillac XLR Lease- Overview
Like gourmet coffee from McDonald's, a pair of Christian Dior running shoes or Jack Black as a leading man, there are some things that at first blush just don't seem to go together. Cadillac is a carmaker synonymous with traditional land yachts and blinged-out SUVs, but few would associate it with a high-performance, dashingly styled two-seat luxury drop top. Yet the 2009 Cadillac XLR lease is just such an automobile, and this retractable-roof roadster is now in its sixth year in production.
Of course, the XLR lease is not the company's first attempt in this segment. Remember the Italian-bodied Allanté of the late '80s and early '90s? No? You're not alone, even though that flagship roadster boasted distinctive styling and robust V8 power. The challenge for Cadillac is to make sure that the similarly conceived XLR doesn't likewise fade into obscurity. That might be easier said than done, because while the XLR lease is a pretty nice car, its competitors are pretty nice and then some.
With a platform that borrows heavily from the Corvette lease, the XLR lease would seem to be a likable marriage of coddling luxury and sporting performance. Sadly, it seems that the sport genes are somewhat recessive in this case. Though swift and generally a respectable handler, the XLR lease is not exactly a Corvette lease in a tuxedo. Thanks to suspension tuning that prioritizes ride comfort, the XLR lease is more at home on boulevards than back roads.
2009 Cadillac XLR Lease- Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2009 Cadillac XLR Lease is a luxury roadster that features a retractable hardtop. It comes in a single Platinum trim level. The XLR Platinum comes with most any luxury feature you'd ever want, including 18-inch alloy wheels, adaptive xenon HID headlights, eight-way power and heated leather seats, a heated steering wheel, Bose audio (with satellite radio and a CD changer), OnStar, Bluetooth connectivity, a navigation system, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless ignition, adaptive cruise control and a head-up display.
The few options include a Weather Veil Package that includes a car cover, a wind blocker with storage bag and unique split-spoke chrome wheels. The standard-style wheels are also available in a chrome finish.
2009 Cadillac XLR Lease- Powertrains and Performance
A muscular yet refined 4.6-liter V8 powers the XLR Lease. A six-speed automatic (that allows manual-style shifting) sends the V8's 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. EPA fuel mileage estimates stand at 15 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined.
The XLR Lease is a fairly spirited performer, as the 0-60-mph dash takes less than 6 seconds, while high-speed running on the highway is hushed and effortless. Full-throttle shifts result in little hesitation, and the sound of the engine at full song is as good as or better than any V8 in its class.
Braking performance is equally impressive, with a stop from 60 mph taking just 118 feet and no fade evident after successive panic stops.
2009 Cadillac XLR Lease- Safety
Antilock disc brakes, run-flat tires and stability control are all standard, as are side airbags that offer head as well as thorax protection. Rear parking sensors are also included.
2009 Cadillac XLR Lease- Interior Design and Special Features
While packed with high-tech luxury features and sporting more leather trim within the cabin, the 2009 Cadillac XLR lease fails to match the interior quality of similarly priced competitors that wear the badges of BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Its soothing blend of soft leather, real wood trim and aluminum accents is certainly inviting. But the plastics quality is below average for this lofty class, and its design reminds some of the polarizing first-generation CTS sedan.
As a hardtop convertible, the XLR is aimed at customers looking for a two-seater that can provide both a suntan and a quiet top-up highway ride. The slick folding roof is one of the Lease XLR's strongest selling points the Mercedes lease is the only other car in this class that features a retractable hardtop. The trunk boasts a respectable 11.6 cubic feet of space when the top is up; top down, however, that number drops to just 4.4 cubic feet.
2009 Cadillac XLR Lease- Driving Impressions
As fast as the 2009 Cadillac XLR lease is when pushed, those expecting a Corvette lease in formal wear will be disappointed. Acceleration is certainly quick, but the lease XLR's soft suspension tuning results in noticeable body roll during hard cornering and plenty of nose dive under heavy braking.
Magnetic Ride Control shocks are standard equipment, but even with their split-second adjustability, the XLR lease still feels less willing to tackle the turns than the more athletic Mercedes SL lease. On less serpentine roads, the XLR lease hits its stride, delivering an undisturbed ride with effortless, arrow-straight tracking afforded by the precise steering. At highway speeds, wind buffeting is somewhat intrusive with the top down, but not so much that it detracts from the XLR's otherwise enjoyable freeway ride.
