Used 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV Consumer Reviews
Good Big Highway Cruiser
We bought this car to travel back and forth between WV Mts. and FL and it is perfect for that. Lots of room as long as you remove the heavy 3rd row seats. We have had no mechanical issues with 45k miles on it now. I traded out for the 22 inch factory wheels and gave up some highway comfort for looks. The 18" factory tires soak up the road far better than the good looking 22" factory wheels/tires. Great in the Mountains powerwise and with the transmission grade brake. It is big and powerful enough to power through high snow drifts. Pretty quiet on Highway, and you can drive with little effort as the long wheel base makes it very stable. The computerized suspension works well.
Top Notch SUV on the market
I've owned several Escalades over the years...this one has given me ZERO issues or problems whatsoever...nada, zip, nothing. It runs and handles like a much smaller vehicle... Cadillac did a superb job on this particular vehicle.

More than a Burbun.
Great for a family with a bunch of young kids, can get 3 car seats across third row (two 5 point boosters, rated up to 80lbs, and one 5 point car seat rated up to 40lbs.) The retractable running boards are slightly lower than the standards, and even my 2 year old can climb in without help. She can get in the Lade even easier than she could get into my Toyota Sienna minivan which we traded in for the Lade. Wife loves the extra space for getting around and strapping in the children in bad weather, and the extra floor space for changing diapers, and the HUGE cargo space in back for stroller and groceries.
Great Luxury in an American SUV
I've had luxury cars and I've had SUV's. This one brings it all together in one package. It provides great styling and a great ride. Its interior is really classy. It has lots of luxury items throughout. The navigation system and back-up rear camera are both really top notch. Mine is black and came with 22 inch chrome wheels. I have never had a car that gets so many "looks" running down the street. I know part of that is because it is so new, (and, after all, it IS a Cadillac), but the bold front grille and clean lines with just the right amount of chrome, really grabs attention. The engine has lots of power and acceleration, not like a big vehicle, at all. I can't wait to get in it going to or coming home from work.
Dont Buy One
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!
