The reviewer provides an update on their 2016 Cadillac ELR, affectionately nicknamed 'Eleanor,' highlighting both its striking design and peculiar quirks. While praising the car's gorgeous exterior lines and upscale interior, the reviewer details significant usability issues. The infotainment system's touchscreen is prone to dead spots, affecting climate control, and the heated seats and steering wheel suffer from extreme delays in activation. Practicality is also a major concern, with unusable rear seats and a small trunk making it a "2+2" at best, unsuitable for long road trips despite having no range anxiety. The car requires premium fuel, adding to running costs. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer expresses enjoyment in exploring the technology and the car's unique character, suggesting it's a keeper for daily driving and fun, though its impracticality and finicky nature are undeniable.
