We bought this amazing SUV last summer after trading in our Enclave. Needless to say, we will not be going back! The Escalade is exactly what I expected it to be and more! The only down side about the Escalade is ride comfort. Even with the new magnetic ride control it has improved, but is not up to par with other SUV's in its class such as the Mercedes GL-Class. Other than the ride, it's amazing!

I can't begin to describe how much I love this vehicle. Under diress from my husband, I sold my 2008 Escalade and went to a Buick Enclave. While the Enclave is a wonderful vehicle and extremely smooth ride, after 15 mths, I missed my big gas gusseling SUV! I missed the 6.2 liter engine. If you've ever owned an Escalade before, its very hard to go down(in size and performance)to anything else. I had been spoiled and continued to complain about letting him talk me into getting rid of my '08 Escalade which never gave me a lick of trouble. So, the stars aligned and he went and got me another Escalade. A newer, nicer one than I had before! All is right in the universe again!

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
