Big Mistake
Vehicle
2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
We bought the 2007 Escalade ESV as a step up from our Durango. We absolutely loved it. Starting the next day after signing, the problems started. Keyless remote start wouldn't work, then the heated seats quit, not once but 3 different times, the airconditioner wasn't working, the module for the tire pressure quit working, the heat in the back quit working and more. We have now owned this thing for 3 months and its been in the shop over 30 of those days on 9 different occassions. I would never ever buy another one!! 70K wasted....sigh

Needs work

2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
I have had my 2007 ESV for almost a year and after spending almost $70,000 on it, I am extremely disapponted. For a company that brags about "the quietest ride ever", it is loudest vechicle I have ever been in. The wind noise is so bad that I am thinking of trading it in already. I have had it into the dealer 5 times with to no avail. It sounds like the windows are rolled down and the wind is blowing 90 mph. I wouldn't recommend that anyone buy this ESV until some MAJOR changes happen.

Love the look. Can't beat black

Wind noise is horrible, irritating, and downright unacceptable

Wow!

2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
This SUV is way beyond what I had expected. It has dramatically changed from the previous model. Everything is better more dramatic in design. No one can mistake this SUV for any other.
Favorite Features
Navigation, power, gas mileage, 6-speed automatic, XM satellite radio, remote start
Suggested Improvements
The amount of plastic used could be reduced, but it doesn't bother me.

CADILLAC ESV
Vehicle
2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
Over all we love this vehicle, however we are very unhappy with the wind noise and have had it into the dealership 4 times to try and have it corrected. The dealership has done everything the manufacturer has recommended and there has not been much improvement it sounds like the windows are not all the way up and is very annoying as we did not plan on spending money and have this problem. Love the seats with the A/C as we live in Florida. Drives beautifully.
Favorite Features
Navigation, backup camera, seats with A/C, reliability and over all driving experience
Suggested Improvements
Manufacturer needs to fix the wind noise problem

Cadillac Did It Right!
Vehicle
2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
I enjoy every aspect of my big, bold and beautiful ESV! It is very comfortable for my legs at 6'6". I love the strong growl of the engine, it's like a muscle car on steroids. I guess it's an SUV with an asterisk. I was very careful before spending over $60K for a vehicle. I did the comparisons with all the other leading luxury SUVs - none compared in features and power (403 horsepower!) This SUV is the King! I bought this car becauase I liked everything about it. I never thought I would so many looks and compliments and 'thumbs ups' in traffic. This SUV turns heads! I have no idea how sane person could give this SUV a bad rating. Go drive it for yourself...

Dont Buy One
Vehicle
2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
OK, well I am an avid Escalade cheerleader! I have owned one for seven years and decided to buy the 2007 model! Hmmmm, well the interior looks so huge because they took out the soft plush seats and replaced them with crappy flat uncomfortable seats! It drives like a bus parking it in a tight parking spot at the grocery store is scary to say the least! The bells and whistles are great, 22s, navigation, XM radio, two DVDs, but come on if the base package isn't right who cares about the bells and whistles! Come on the 2007 Escalade is not a true Cadillac! Save you money buy a 2003 - 2006 model of Escalade, I PROMISE you wont be disappointed!

Very Happy
Vehicle
2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
After coming out of a '03 Navigator I believe Caddy stepped up to the plate. I test drove the '07 Naviagator and Expedition. The Escalade ESV is a superior vehicle. 103hp is considerable. The exterior styling is very well executed.
Favorite Features
It has a nice power band with plenty of reserve hp for passing for a vehicle of this size. Reverse camera and rear storage capacity. Nav radio sounds awesome. Rear entertainment system for passengers. Remote start is convenient.
Suggested Improvements
Bluetooth, power tilt/telescope steering wheel, and express UP windows are missing in a $70,000 vehicle. DOD would help with fuel economy. Get rid of the ancient steering column gear shifter.

Awesome Ride
Vehicle
2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
I have had Chevy Trucks for years, but this thing is awesome! It has unreal braking capability for such a large vehicle and great accleration too! I love the styling and the interior is extremely comfortable and roomy (I am 6'9" with long legs). I can't say enough about it!
Favorite Features
Navigation, XM radio, cooled seats, heated washer fluid, and the auto up back door and dashboard. Also, if you have Verizon wireless you can get a shared phone number and use the phone feature with the OnStar, it sounds great and is easy to use. You can dial the number right from the screen!
Suggested Improvements
Auto up windows and Bluetooth would be real pluses!

Escalade ESV Defies its Size!
Vehicle
2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
This truck is truly amazing and rides and handles as though it is substantially smaller. The perfomrance is fantastic and the fit and finish are top notch. I have the White Diamond with the Ebony interior. When comparing this truck to the European and Asian large SUV's the ESV wins on space and comfort. Besides, the rumble of the V8 engine sounds like my '71 Vette. The NAV system and the entertainment system are great along with the rear camera. Air conditioned seats are a feature I thought I never needed and now wonder on those hot summer days how we did without. Its gas mileage isnt to bad for its size. Remember it weighs close to 3 tons so 14 mpg's ain't too shabby. I have gotten over 17 on the highway.
Favorite Features
The drivetrain and all the comfort and convenience features are fantastic. The Intellibeam headlamp system is great on those dark roads switching your high beams on and off.
Suggested Improvements
Add Bluetooth capability. Also, auto up power windows are needed for a vehicle in this price range. Other than that, GM and Cadillac got their act together on this truck. Write the check for one!
