I have had my 2016 for a year now and could not be happier. The interior is totally silent, elegant and comfortable. Overall mileage after 35,000 miles is 71 mpg. On long trips when no electricity is available we get 31mpg...which truly is not bad for a heavy Cadillac that rides like a sedan.The electric motors take off faster than any car I have every seen. Add in its drop dead good looks...and what is not to like. Sticker of $75,000 new, bought for$27,000 three years old. Bargain for a true luxury cruiser.

It is a very nice reliable car.
It is a very nice car that has leather seats, and a sat nav system. My kids love it because it is so comfortable. I wish that they didn't cancel the model

Poor E range
I've come to regret my ELR purchase, simply due to its pathetic 38 mile electric range. GM should be ashamed of themselves. I hope the money they got from Exxon/Mobile was worth it.
