Guys and girls let me just say we have had them all. Mercedes, Lexus BMW, and several Suburbans. Don't get me wrong they are all fine cars in their own way but if you have 3 kids like we do and travel to the lake etc this is the best way to do it! After several Suburbans we tried a 2003 Cadillac Escalade ESV and my wife loved it. So much so that we put 100,000 miles on it in 3 years and never had a problem. As a matter of fact she wanted to keep it she loved it so much. Now we have the new style and the Best just got Better! Make you wife and kids happy guys get them one and they will love you for it. Best SUV made!!!

This is an amazing SUV. They have improved the engine, it now has 403hp. It has a spacious trunk compared to the regular Escalade. It drives great, it's not that fun to drive around due to its size but it's really great on trips.

Anyone like wind noise?

I will start by saying I love the look of this SUV. It looks sharp coming down the road. Beautiful design. But we have had nothing but trouble with this vehicle. It has been in the shop more than I can count. I usually wait until 3-4 things are wrong before I put it in the shop now. The wind noise is unbelievable. It is extremely loud on the highway on a windy day. If you are wanting a quiet vehicle, this is not it. We have never paid this much for a vehicle and have been nothing but disappointed. Seems like the designers could have worked out all of the wind noise before they produced the car. We are trading it in very soon and hoping for a quieter vehicle with less trouble.

The escalade ESV is a great family SUV. One problem is that there aren't that many interior options. Also, the seats get dirty very easily. It takes regular unleaded fuel, so there are no worries about the high cost of Premium. My truck gets 12 mpg city, and 17 mpg highway.

I went from a 2003 Ford Excursion to the best SUV on the planet. I love my Caddy from bumper to bumper. I have all the bells and whistles on my Escalade. Compared to all of the previous SUVs that I've owned none come close to the dynamic handling, superior interior, and powerful engine. The ESV is the SUV bar none!
