Cadillac Escalade

HC1001 · 08-05-2007, 21:43

Hi All, Just got back off my hols and just wanted to share my view on the Escalade i rented........ Well what can I say 6.0L 400 BHP engine, 0 to 60 - 7 sec's not that fast but it is a big lump of metal.

Good points:

Remote Start

Very nice to drive

Bling factor

(Not really an issue with a furby but I like it that way, Wolf in sheeps clothing etc)
Remote boot lid

All seats electric and air conditioned

Bose system (Amazing)

Bad points: Not many but one major one.

MPG only averaged 14 mpg and when i driven her like a saint only 19 mpg and when I put my foot down 0 to 60 style 1 to 2 mpg.......

Only found out once I had rented the car that is was the most stolen car in america.....

I have afew pics

any questions feel free to ask..........

Those houses in the background - are they all exactly the same shape and colour?
Like a Barratt Estate?!

Thats not a car, its a f'ing tank.

Get in!

It must be a very intimidating car as everyone moves over when you pull up behined them. Nice and easy to find in a car park as it's massive....... Still love the furby more and still alot more fun....

About the estate I think they only had about 3 different types of houses.... you must be able to pick them out of a catalogue.....
