Big Old Escalade

The 2002 Cadillac Escalade is a rather large and hard to handle SUV. The seats are comfortable and can seat 6 people comfortably. The steering is poor because it has a small turning radius so U turns are very difficult to do. The suspension of my truck in particular are shot which makes the ride extremely bumpy and turning is always fill you with fear of the truck flipping over. The shocks are very expensive to repair because of the fact that Escalade is the Luxury version of GMC, so everything is more expensive compared to its cheaper cousin the Yukon. The Audio system is ok but the center climate control rattles if the bass is too high. Visibility is better than other cars since the mirrors are large and the B and C pillars are thinner compared to other cars so seeing cars to the left and right is ok. Parking is the biggest complaint I have. Trying to get in and out of parking is difficult when your SUV is longer than most of the cars in the same parking lot.

Minor problems

I enjoyed driving the escalade, but since it the first year it came out a few minor hiccup need to be corrected. When the back shock stays up it puts pressure on the front, thus when one goes in a little hole the front suspension goes up and down repeatedly.
