2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I purchased my '02 Escalade as a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle in 2003. This is the best "car" I've ever owned. It is still solid with minor wear and tear after 106,000 miles. It is an SUV with the handling and comfort of a "car". Even when hauling two horses in a trailer, this baby feels safe to me. I probably will drive it another 100,000 miles as I don't feel like I am taking a chance that the newer models can out do this one. Nice work on this 2002 model.
Favorite Features
The smooth and tight steering, engine performance, and feeling of being in an airtight vehicle. I love how the road noise is minimal.

2002 Cadillac Escalade 2WD 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This Cadillac is a blast to drive. The acceleration is quick and powerful. It has OnStar for any emergencies which is good. It takes time getting used to all of the space that it takes in different lanes compared to a passenger car though.
Favorite Features
Leather interior, Bose stereo, heated seats, power seats, lots of legroom, chrome wheels, HID lights, powerful V8 engine, and the cool social status associated with an Escalade.
Suggested Improvements
Better fuel mileage. This suv costs almost $100 a week to fill up with the rising cost of gas.

2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
At first I was not using the Escalade, because I was driving my old car, a Chrysler Cirrus LXI, trying to sell it. I must admit I was a little scared to drive the big SUV, because it was so much bigger than what I was used to. When I took my first trip in this Escalade, I was hooked. I LOVE it. It takes a little more gas than some vehicles, but the drive and ride overrides the cost. It is far superior to other vehicles I have driven.
Favorite Features
OnStar, lighted mirrors, that flip up, and the Bose radio system with 6 CD loading for superior listening pleasure. It also has a cassette system, I love that also! The ride is excellent.

Review
I have never owned a luxury vehicle before. I just traded in my 2004 Jeep Liberty for a 2002 Cadillac Escalade with 30,000 miles and it rides better than my Jeep did with only 6,000 miles. I love the roomy interior, the speakers are great, and the ride is so smooth. It's a heck of a way down if you forget how high up you are when exiting the car though! So far I'm happy, but I did get an extended warranty just in case things go wrong.
Favorite Features
Large seats, OnStar, stereo, and the smooth ride
Suggested Improvements
A gas eater, but I'm glad to have it.

Review
This is the best car I've ever had. I am 85 years old and have owned probably 20 cars. None have given me the multitude of "Good feelings" this car does. It handles beautifully on the highway and is surprisingly easy to park.
Favorite Features
The folding outside rear-view mirrors.

2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I had 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe which was great, but this Cadillac Escalade has so much more power, better handling and a really nice sounding stereo. I also love the on-board computer, higher qaulity leather seats, tilting 2nd row seats, and finally with this big boy sporting a big Cadillac emblem so no one will mistake this ride for just another SUV...
Favorite Features
I love the 6.0 liter engine with the heavy duty transmission. I live and drive in the Sierra mountains and the power is there when needed. To think I can haul up to 8 adults and get 17 mpg on the freeway, I believe this is great fuel economy for load/weight/usage...
Suggested Improvements
Really can not think of any, even my wife who adores her BMW loves to ride in the Escalade.

Review
I gave up my BMW 740is which is a great car, but my 2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD is a blast to drive, powerful, rugged, safe, and has great road vision. I'm impressed with the fuel mileage. Don't get me wrong, this is no Honda, but to think I can haul 7-8 people at 17-18 MPG on the freeway, which is not to bad.
Favorite Features
I love this 6.0 engine. I've been amazed how quiet the idle is, it is almost like it's not even running.
Suggested Improvements

Gotta say this is one heckuva vehicle. Nothing beats the Escalade for moving the family around. Room for kids and dogs plus suitcases. Looks and drives outstanding!
