"THE BEST CAR. It is not only a great luxury SUV it has class to it. I loved it until the gas price went up and we just traded it in for a Jeep Grand Cherokee!"

"I have had Range Rover, Mercedes and Lezus and they were nice rigs. the Range Rover was over priced and under delivered, Mercedes to small, Lexus a over priced Toyota that drank gas without the HP to show for, Escalade over 400 HP sure 20 MPG highway is not great but heated / cooled seats. back up camera and power running boards, Nav/ DVD/ auto start for $75,000 so far 68k and no issues, other that tires / brakes and 1-warranty repair was the air pump for level ride, 2nd escalade and will go for my 3rd next year when this gets closer to 100k. GM has a fantastics vehicle on dry roads and very impressive AWD in a 20 blizzard,"

"The Cadillac Escalade is a very classy SUV and a big step up from the Chevrolet LTZ. We have owned 2 LTZ Suburbans loaded and have been very happy with the ride, reliability and overall value but the Escalade takes the cake for finish and ride along with more options. Heated seats are great but the air conditioned seats, auto dim headlights, and heated steering wheel are nice upgrades. Haven't driven it long enough to rate the reliability but so far so good."

"I really enjoy this vehicle. It's a head turner! It's big, roomy and functional. Weather its driving to work, a night out on the town with the wife, driving the kids to school or off road trails the Escalade fits right in. I once stuffed 3 twin beds in it and the rear hatch closed effortlessly. It's fast but it uses a lot of gas. I spend about $100 bucks a week for 22-24 gallons of gas. It gets an avg of 14 mpg local but highway gets a little better at 22 mpg. Ive had a window regulator, brake caliper, steering sensor go bad . All were covered under warranty. I hope this review helps."

"came from a range rover before this and i cant say which 1 had more issues because i didnt have the rover for long, but i actually grew to not like this truck. it squeaks like a mouse and seems to be put together poorly. besides the speed, looks, ac seats and back up camera it seems to be a waste. not great in snow and have had to bring to the dealer numerous times in less than 2 years. some of the problems have returned,like the locks giving out, 70 grand for a car that has faulty locks? all the sound used to go out, no music, no voice from the navi, i was forced to hear squeks. the 3rd row is a pain, a ford explorer which is half the price has 1 that folds flat. from what i came from i realized how sturdy this car isnt. range never rattled like this and felt like u were in a vault.the plastics in the vehicles could never compare and maybe thats part of the problem. all in all it has become a regret. all this money for a quicker tahoe with more chrome is the furthest thing from worth the price, doubt ill buy domestic again unless they really work on their cars seriously!"

"had 2 escalades - fine odd the lot... After 5,000 miles- the squiky noses coming from from plastic panels, impossible to drive without the stereo on. The key fob is falling apart. Into the dealership 2 times for warranty repairs (exterior handle cracked and hangs off, squeeks from one of the wheels - bearing to be replaced) THe vehicle looses the resale value quite fast. However - still my preferred full size SUV..."

"We purchased a new ultra luxury package for my wife's Christmas gift. (wish it were for me). We love this vehicle. I love the sound of the 403 caddy horses under the hood, the handling is awesome and the 0 to 60 in about 6 seconds is off the charts for a vehicle this size. As long as GM keeps making an Escalade with this quality, luxury and performance we will own one."

"I like almost everyting about the Escalade. What I don't like is the towing capacity. It could be bigger for an SUV this size. and the exterior styling is a little weird. But overall this is a great car!"
