This is my second Escalade and I continue to be impressed. I've owned several luxury SUV's and the 2009 Escalade is an overall more enjoyable vehicle. We currently also own a Mercedes ML500, the Escalade doesn't handle quite as well on cornering but otherwise the Escalade out performs and is everything you could ask for and more. It is very well equipped from a luxury perspective, again comparing it to the ML500 the seats of the Escalade are comfortable but with the ML their are more adjustable area's of the seat so you can form it to your personal shape better. The navigation in the ML STINKS and the Escalade is a dream to use, view, etc - Nice job Cadillac.I actually have reached 19 MPG

This is my first ever own a Cadillac. A ride a little bumpy, maybe with 20+ wheel, comparing with my Yukon trade in this one is awesome look and hi tech.

I have had nothing but problems. It isn't even one year old and the service engine light has gone of three (3) times withing a year. The problem is always fuel system or engine. Second, the not spacious, cheap interior angers me. Wobbly center console, loud, cheap tailgate, glove compartment has no room for owner's manual, you can hear the lumbar support cracking and bending inside the seat when you inflate it. The rear leg a/c didn't work, when I fold the seats I hear this cheap squeaking and all the doors can close without making the squeaking noise when there is no lubrication. Chrome is plastic. Don't waste $80,000 and buy a BMW or Mercedes SUV and you'll be pleased.
Front end clunk when accelerating from a stop.

I have an 08 escalade that's awd with a 6.2 when putting it in drive and taking off or accelerating from a stop I hear a clunk in the front end. I already replaced the u-joints in the rear but I have not got into the front. This is my first awd vehicle. Also the guy at discount tire said that my front tires look like when I brake they the front tires are fighting directions because of the wear.

My ratings may look overboard, but I did not rate it against sports cars, but against other large, luxury suvs.
I miss my reliable Escalade

We had a 2012 Range Rover and a 2012 Escalade. My kids hated this car because of its size. I absolutely loved it. I hauled all kinds of furniture, gardening plants and etc. Always reliable and barely had to go to the shop unlike our Range Rover. While the RR had a short wheelbase and turned like a dime, it cost a fortune to maintain, try $3000-6000 every time something went wrong. Not the Escalade, try only $500-1000 in all the 5 years I owned it. Had to sell it as I was leaving the country and really miss it. Eyeing on 2018-2021

I was looking for prices to compare and base my asking price on as the one I have was inherited. Nice vehicle all around but far bigger than I need.
