Review
This vehicle is very reliable, 104k miles on it and runs like new. The most notable thing about this vehicle is how stable it is, note that this is an older generation SUV without stability control or other systems. It looks like it would have bad handeling given its size but it dosn't. Also the turning radius is outstanding. It does lack some key features like auto climate control and a sunroof.
Favorite Features
Handeling, very good reliability ,exhaust note, unique exterior design, its 6 years old and people still stare.
Suggested Improvements
Some small rattles can be fixed, but no big problem, the newer model fixed all the issues of the previous generation.

Review
First year of the Escalade, and what you get is a lot of trim on a Yukon/Tahoe package. Very nice ride. 19mpg Hwy mileage. Not a lot of extra electronics inside, but a fine luxury presentation. The seats are great. Engine has factor specs still on compression. Considering the price of new quality, large SUV's (about 45-50k) finding an older model for about 1/3 the price is a nice find. And that is what I was looking for.
Favorite Features
Seating.
Suggested Improvements
A few more electronics would be nice.

Review
Great Luxury SUV. This SUV is very powerfull, has great Leather seats, Great Bose soundsystem w/ 6 Disc Changer AND in-dash CD player. Great AUTO 4WD Feature.Great turning radius .This car does have its down sides. Barely Adequate braking. Poor Gas milage (like most other SUVs) no 3rd row seating, No Sunroof(even as an option!), so far 72k Miles and not a single problem. Very Strong and Reliable w/ great style.
Favorite Features
Auto 4WD, Front and Rear Heated Seats, Bose Sound system. Legendary Vortec 5.7L V8. Very reliable and sturdy. Great turning radius for a vehicle this size.
Suggested Improvements
Add a sunroof, improve 12mpg gas milage, and use better paint on the bumpers, and most importantly NEEDS better Brakes!

Review
Two months after purchasing, a clunking noise started in the front end. After tearing the drivetrain apart twice, and replacing both U joints, both dealerships have given up. Dashboard was not assembled correctly resulting in large gap towards passenger side. Rear window rattles incessantly despite being repaired twice. If this is indicative of Cadillac quality, next time, I'll buy the new Suburban and live with those GM problems for $10K less!
Favorite Features
Comfortable ride
Suggested Improvements
The Escalade is based on a GM platform and all the past mistakes should have been eliminated before putting a Cadillac label on it!

Review
This vehicle was bought used with only 19000 miles - now, at 40k the bottom has fallen out. The truck has been in the shop no less than 9 times with drive train related failure (t/m, t/c, etc.).
Favorite Features
The Escalade is a fun truck to drive and has features that make it very comfortable and safe.
Suggested Improvements
Obviously, the 2002/3 models have upgraded to the point of crazy. The vehichle speaks for itself.
Not Happy with this Car

Review
Car has basically new tires on it. I have spent the last 3 Fridays either at the dealership or tire shop trying to figure out why the car wobbles at 65-72 mph and 30 mpn. They are going to try another set. The windows creak still and the rear end still shudders on take off.Its an ok SUV but I am ready to trade it back in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
