This Car is not only fun todrivebut also to listin too. It's engine in almost as powerful as it sounds. The interior amendities are hard to match and has a suprisingly tight turning radius

I have wanted my Escalade for so long and I finally got it. Oh, boy, was it worth the wait. It is not only dependable and functional, but it's gorgeous. I mean there is nothing as beautiful as a Cadillac. It just shines and always looks good. I love it and feel great driving it. It is everything I thought it would be. . . . .AND MORE!!!!

We needed something to transport my handicapped wife and her electric three- wheeler. The ESV Escalade far surpassed our expectations. It is comfortable, powerful, smooth and easily swallows her alternative transportation. We have averaged 15-16 MPG in town and 17-18 MPG on the road at 75MPH, A/C on. I will not buy another car without the GPS NAV system and Satillite radio. We are spoiled rotten!

Leather but will all the Squeaks

Hard to believe that after all these years GM cannot build a dashboard that does not squeak! Not as noisy as my benchmark 74 Camaro, but can't the imports teach Detroit a thing or two in building a $62k car? The driver's door when slammed sounds like my old 85 K5 tailgate-like something is loose and broken inside. All these were present since purchase. Interior leather is excellent but lets add the standard Cadillac rain sensor, not the Chevy wiper delay. And how about he seat massager like the DTS? Great overall look but too many places to clean-how about moving the gaskets closer to the outside as to limit dirt from getting into so many panels?

Switched from a Dodge Durango and this vehcile is far superior and worth the money. The AWD is smooth and quiet and the vehicle handles well and has great power. The gas mileage on the highway is supringly good although it doesn;t do that well in town.

The Escalade is a first-class car, but is also one of the most comfortable and user-friendly cars I have owned. In comparison, the seats are more like a lazy boy recliner than that of a car seat. The Escalade also offers separate radio and air conditioning controls for the rear of the car. (Which is great if you have kids!) The rear seats also recline!

0 of 0 people found this review helpful

the escalade is a pretty nice car but its nothing more than a rebadged tahoe. I sort of regret buying it because theres almost no difference in the interior, exept the wood grain that looks like it was from a vehicle from the 80's or something.also, the plastic and leather dont seem to be up to the 50k standard. in other words, the interior should be more refined and differentiated from the tahoe, like the navigator is from the expedition.Also, this vehicle needs to lose the ugly column shifter. The 285 hp v8 is slow. this vehicle should just come with the 340 hp engine.

This car rides and controls well, even in times where quick thinking and handling became a necessity. The look catches the eye of many - the upgrades make my vehicle more attractive than it already is - the drive is smooth and quite. There has never been a more luxurious car I've owned all across the board. Signed, One More than Satisfied Consumer

We purchased this Escalade because we drive to the mtns alot with small children and TWO big dogs on a two way mtn road. We use our all-wheel drive when seeking out good trailheads in summer, and skiing in the winter. We have bad backs and nothing beats the comfort of the seats. There is plenty of room for passengers and storage; the backup sound devise plus all-wheel safety with reasonable gas mileage considering the load all make it a winner for us. Oh! The TV is a God send for long trips to Disneyland. It is a luxury truck like no other on the market.

I love the Escalade.I bought a 2004 in August . It had just arrived on the lot and it was the first Navy one I had every seen.(still have never seen another one on the road) Not only does it feel so smooth when you drive, it has the most comfortable seats to sit in. As far as the gas...well...it is not so good but then again I down scaled from a suburban so my fill up time has decreased. I now only have time to read 1/2 of a book instead of the whole book waiting for my tank to fill up.I would recommend this car to everyone. I drove all the comparble Suv's on the road and not one compared to the feel of my Escey.

If you want utility AND luxury, the Escalade is your toy. Go with the AWD and you won't be disappointed. You'll never be at a loss for horsepower. Regarding comfort I'll put it against any sedan ... the ride is smooth and bumps in the road are essentially none existant. If you don't mind watching the gas gage move in front of your eyes and want a pure luxury vehicle, GO FOR IT!

If you want top of the line Luxury then go with the Escalade. The Body Definition stands out among other SUV's and you will be noticed. You do get your moneys worth with this vehicle. You will be amazed at how much stuff this vehicle will do for you to make your driving experience much easier and it will make it 100 times harder to go back to anything other than an Escalade. This vehicle does everthing but drive itself and I wouldn't put that out of the question in the near future!
