Beautiful car, beautiful design,
My car is a plug-in hybrid. I get about 32 miles on the battery charge, it then works like a regular hybrid. The car has a beautiful design, very plush interior and a great sound system. There were only about 5,000 of them made so it is also somewhat of a collector item.

It save fuel and helps protect the environment by releasing less carbon emissions.
ILike that it is a plug-in hybrid. Plus it is a great looking car...inside and out. It gets great gas mileage.

The Cadillac cue system is defective.
I recently found a problem with the cue system. The touch panel system stopped working. After doing research on the system through the internet, I found that this system has been a major defect on Cadillac models from 2013 to present. To replace this system on my elf will cost $1400. 00. I have contacted Cadillac directly as well as working with my dealership to have this cost reduced or eliminated. This has been the only major problem I have had with this vehicle.

Unique style
This car is definitely a head turner. The design team should be proud. It has great fuel efficiency, quick acceleration, and is very quiet while driving. The que system has faults in which the radio screen will crack due to the dash is not long enough to cover the screen from sunlight, and it sometimes doesn't recognize my voice for voice commands. Also the vehicle stirs up dust due to the hide away tailpipe under the trunk and keeps the car d***y on the trunk lid and rear bumper. It really would be nice to be able to solely drive gas or electric at drivers demand. I love my car and proud to have something that not many people have or can get.

Overall very happy with my car.
Features a little unreliable but add a nice touch to the car especially in the interior, no problems really, good car overall, definitely reliable car, had some problems recently but nothing that can't be managed, very comfortable car, love the space and room. Sound system has been not so great recently but can play decently loud, maintenance is a little bit pricey but worth it for the car itself.

A take on life and it is many struggles.
I sort of do not like my vehicle because it is old and I feel like I need an upgrade. This was my younger brother's high school car. I need a better one. Maybe an RV. The performance is fine I guess I went from Maine to Texas in 10 hours and I guess gas is an issue I run out in a matter of 6-7 hour.

How Reliable Is The 2014 Cadillac ELR?

It took a lot of gas... I used it to travel to my job that at the time was 20-30 minutes away. If I needed to get it fixed for any reason it was a good amount to be paid to fix.
Mary W.

Is The 2014 Cadillac ELR A Good Value?

I bought it used for $4000 so at that time I thought it was a good value but I put more money into fixing it.
