Big Mistake

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

Cadillac Did It Right!

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...

Awesome!

I love it! I went from an '03 ESV to the '07 and what a difference! the new one has an awesome interior...it is very comfortable and everything is where it should be. It rides nice and appears to handle much better than the '03. A couple of additional items would have made this the perfect truck: Bluetooth, Auto-up windows, and better fuel economy...early indications are about 10 MPG city / 14 MPG Highway...a far cry from the 13 City / 19 Hwy that are found in other reviews.

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.
