"handles well, great acceleration, tows incredibly. when i have a trailer hooked up you cant even feel it, the tow package push button is wonderful, just hit the button and away you go. the esv is much roomier than the standard escalade, much more room for luggage, groceries, etc. the awd is excellent in the snow, and the traction control does a great job of putting the power down no matter what the road conditions are. my next vehicle will also be a cadillac esv. the gas millage isnt the best in the world, but there must be a trade off somewhere. you cant have power and capability with out consuming a bit more fuel."

"We purchased this vehicle 4 months ago after trading in a 04 yukon xl for a 06 tahoe my wife wanted a suburban or yukon xl the dealership had this one for 6 months with no luck selling it needless to say we test drove it fell in love with it got a fantastic deal and drove it home it had 81,000 on it then and now at 85,000 and 4 months later we still love it gas mileage is not bad either 15 city and 19-20 hwy. the only thing is the back shock has started to leak air not cheap over 600.00 just for the shock and the rear evaporator is going bad 800.00 for just the part but owning a luxury vehicle does have it's price to pay and will hopefully some day buy another escalade love it all the way"
