  Side mirrors on Cadillac Escalade - 2017 Cadillac Escalade
  By Heather Wiebe - February 24 - 6:01 am

  Had an Escalade for a test drive. Would have bought it but the side mirrors block my view. The older mirrors were narrow. These are too tall and look unattractive, to me. That is the only reason that I have not purchased the Cadillac Escalade Esv. Hope the 2018 model has better side mirrors, as I would really like to buy!

  A Roll of the Dice, Nice surprise! - 2017 Cadillac Escalade
  By SPORTOURISTA - November 22 - 3:43 pm

  After driving foreign SUVS for over 20 years (mostly German), this time I decided to try something different. I wanted more room, larger towing capacity, 4WD/AWD, and a nicer interior. After 2000 miles in an ESV 4WD Luxury, a new surprise emerges everyday. It has a beautiful interior, nice fit and finish, tons of electronic safety features and the oft-criticized CUE infotainment system. I am pleased and surprised with the ride quality of the suspension and 22" wheels. The sophisticated electronically controlled shock technology may be the reason. I have not found the CUE system overly complicated. There is a lot to learn here, but most of the controls seem logical and useful, if you are patient and read the owners manual. The interiors low noise level is impressive as is the standard Bose designed sound system. A big surprise is the weight of this vehicle of this vehicle compared to its European competitors, ie., the M-B GL series and the large Range Rover. They all weigh in the 5700-6000 lb. range. Cadillac has used a lot of aluminum and lightweight high strength steel based on my research. I like the ability to run less expensive regular or mid-grade gas, (which is acceptable) although premium is recommended. Mileage so far has been slightly less than the EPA estimates. So far I have only towed my 6000 lb. boat for about 200 miles. The torque and H.P of this models drive train seemed unfazed with the task. And the room in the rear cargo area is huge. This is a large vehicle, but it doesnt feel that way from the drivers seat or in its handling prowess. It also has a very tight turning radius. So what is there to not like? Keeping in mind the concept of this vehicle and the reason I bought it, I havent found much to dislike yet, but Ill keep looking. Most owners that I have talked to, love their vehicles and without hesitation would buy another one. Enough said!
