Review

This is my second Escalade and I continue to be impressed. I've owned several luxury SUV's and the 2009 Escalade is an overall more enjoyable vehicle. We currently also own a Mercedes ML500, the Escalade doesn't handle quite as well on cornering but otherwise the Escalade out performs and is everything you could ask for and more. It is very well equipped from a luxury perspective, again comparing it to the ML500 the seats of the Escalade are comfortable but with the ML their are more adjustable area's of the seat so you can form it to your personal shape better. The navigation in the ML STINKS and the Escalade is a dream to use, view, etc - Nice job Cadillac.I actually have reached 19 MPG

Favorite Features

The responsiveness to pulling a trailer, it's like a different vehicle when you push the trailer button and the transmission begins to work with the load and engine. The hide-a-way running boards are great, Bluetooth connection to my IPhone, Navigation & back-up camera and the overall sport look.

Suggested Improvements

Improve the adjustment possibilities on the driver seat. Firgure out a way to store third row seats in vehicle, my stay in the garage because they take up to much room while in but not in use. I know it's a big SUV but a couple more MPG would be nice.

Review

I stepped inside GM's full-size super luxury SUV, and I was immediately enveloped in luxury. With so many standard features like a voice- activated Navigation system, DVD entertainment system, a heated leather wrapped steering wheel with radio and climate controls, heated and cooled front and 2nd row seats, bucket seats, a universal garage door opener, and SO much more, this car will easily destroy competitors like the Lexus LX570 and Land Rover Range Rover, in luxury. The Honda Civic Sedan gets to 60mph in 11.3, this Escalade Platinum gets to 60 mph in 6.1; that's pretty impressive for any car and very impressive for a large SUV. Cadillac has done a SUPERB job on this model, and I love it.

Favorite Features

DVD Entertainment System, Voice- Activated Navigation System, Heated and Cooled front and rear seats, remote start, keyless entry, heated leather wrapped steering wheel with climate and radio controls, bucket seats, adaptive cruise control, floor mats, 6-disc CD/DVD changer, and SO much more...

Suggested Improvements

It's a 98% of a car. I just request a boost in fuel economy, from 15 to about 19. Maybe GM could use its Cylinder Deactivation system to boost fuel economy, and maybe weight could be lowered from 5850 pounds to about 5,000 pounds. Maybe aerodynamics could improve.
