I just switched from a fully loaded BMW 745Li...I thought the BMW had it all. But this Cadi is kickin! Love the handling, the ride, the comfort & specially the retractable assist steps. Very nice!
Little things will fail but keeps going!

I have 250k miles on my escalade and still the original motor and transmission! Yes, cheap gm parts like door lock actuators and sensors will fail with time, but the important stuff keeps going! Does it leak oil from every part that can? YES! I change my oil every 5k miles, and it uses maybe half a quart, probably mostly from rear main leaking.. Feels great to drive.. Parts are cheap. Easy to work on im not sure how i would feel if i bought this for 70k... but spending 10k on it 12 years later I'm ok with this being a safe, reliable family vehicle.

My wife just loves the car. We added 22" aftermarket rims on it at 1/3 the cost of what the dealer wanted and it looks much better. No mechanical issues experienced as noted by several previous postings. It's fun to drive and does exactly what I expected when I bought it - looks great, drives great, and hauls as a big rig!
Surprisingly good

Cadillac is on a role, and the Escalade is no exception. It has great looks, lots of luxury and features, 403 hp, and an exhaust note from a muscle car. I never thought i would buy and SUV, but the Escalade sold itself. The power and exhaust note surprised me most as it is quick (for and SUV), and sounds great. The handling also really surprised me as it handles like a much smaller car. The only negatives i can fin is the old school tilt only steering wheel, third row seat ( everything about it from room to not power folding), and a light in the rear of the car rattles. The GPS in this car is absolutely fantastic, it is the highlight of an already great interior. Just a great SUV.
Strong Ride

Big SUV with a Corvette engine. Aggressive sounding and smooth riding family hauler. Have had it for eight years, and never had any problems whatsoever.
