Best Escalade Yet

With the exception of the poor fuel milage (with the most powerfull V8, what do you expect?) this is the most capable luxury SUV on the market today.

Escalade exceeded my expectations

I bought this luxury SUV after careful comparison with the competition. I'm a big guy and this vehicle has a lot of room. The ride is superb, the interior is whisper quiet, the 345 hp engine leaves nothing to be desired and on top of that, I get 19 mpg on the highway! The attractive interior is well laid out, the seats extremely comfortable, and the XM radio is something that quickly became indispensable. As a professional, my Escalade's bold styling makes the right statement to my clients: Success.

The Escalade is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven and the navigation sytem got me through Canada. Great job Cadillac. I give a 10 to the Escalade over all.

I have been driving cars starting with models built in the teens, Model Ts, Model As, Plymonths 35s, Mercury 39, Chevy 50, Ford 56, and a number of other models. I purchased a Cadillac STS in 1999 and another in 2001. I purchased my present Escalade in 2004. It has been the best car that I have owned. I have never had a thing wrong with it and it drives super well. It handles easily and gives me supper strength and speed when I need it. It has gotten me out of tight plases with ease and comfort. Of course the pickup is incredible and there when I need it. The interior is attractive and quiet the air is great and a also quiet. I have owened autos for 70 years, this is the best!

I a 2005 Cadillac Escalade for my wife, but we both love to drive it. We went around looking at the competition but realized there wasn't any. On mine there is a small setback which Cadillac is trying to address, there is a small "whistling sound" which you hear when turning left or right at about 30 mph. Cadillac knows about it and so far they have replaced one part, but the noise continued. Now I have to take it back so they can replace the power steering which they claim should fix the problem. It really doesn't bother me at all unless you really pay attention. Overall they have really taken care of me at all times. I can't complain.
