Review
I used to drive an Ford Expedition. The escalade is a wonderful cadillac product that has power, cornering and comfort NOT like a truck. I love it. I drive a lot of highway miles and find the gas mileage isn't bad.
Favorite Features
confort, leg room, height to get into it

Review
My husband and I have now had our Escalade for about 6 months and it's been great. It's definately a keeper. We pay alot per month but it's worth every penny! The pearl white paint is beautiful, and it hides dirt pretty well. We have dubs on it, and man is it an eye catcher! People just stare when I drive by. The only complaint I have is at first the speedometer was sort of hard to read. But I love it and we plan on keeping it for a very long time. THANK YOU CADILLAC!!!
Favorite Features
The computerized menu in the dash is great. Also the light and beeping when you back up too near something. That's very handy to have when backing up such a big vehicle.

Review
I have owned luxury SUVs in the past, Lexus 470, Infiniti QX4, etc. The 2003 Escalade offers outstanding value! I went with the Diamond White color and it's beautiful. I have received several compliments about the color in the short time we've had it. Took the Escalade on a Phoenix to Denver roadtrip. It handled great, outstanding ride feel. XM radio is a must! I installed an aftermarket 15" video/DVD screen. Didn't like the small 7" screen available from Cadillac.
Favorite Features
Xenon headlights. Heated seats. XM radio is fantastic! Diamond white paint. Wood steering wheel has a smooth, silk-like beautiful feel. Exhaust tone is perfect. Outstanding acceleration.
Suggested Improvements
Getting some brake squeel noise. Is there anyway to squeeze another one or two MPG from the 345 hp engine?
I LOVE IT

I love this SUV better than anything i have ever owned it is well worth the money, however gas is expensive where i live. I like everything about it. i dont think it should have been $55,000. that is like a house downpayment but i have the money so its alright i guess.
Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements
i think that it should be a little less money but it was well worth what i payed.

Awesome to own and drive --- my husband enjoys his "conjicle visits" on the weekends when he gets to switch w/ me and I drive the Deville!!! I look forward to getting it back and driving it again on Mondays!!!! And man are the children ever spoiled!!!! Love it -- I don't ever want to own anything else!!!
Favorite Features
The interior and the look of the front grill when it's just starting to get dark out!!! Classy yet "nasty" at the same time!!!!
Suggested Improvements
To get people to stop being jealous and trying to "key" it in the parking lots!!! 1st week of owning mine--- someone got at it!!!!

Review
We have been very impressed with virtually all aspects of the vehicle so far. The XM radio is an unexpected pleasure. The comfort, ride and acceleration have been better than expected. The rear bucket seats and overhead vents have been great.
Favorite Features
Interior, ride, power, comfort, XM radio
Suggested Improvements
1. The removable, rear seats are just too heavy to be practical. 2. The gas mileasge is too low 3. The toggle vs touch screen approach on the GPS and radio is horrible. 4. Every time I open or close a window, the seat heater is accidentally turned on
Absolutely the BEST!

WE have enjoyed our Escalade immensely. There is no comparison to other vehicles in this class! The comfortable and luxurious ride make it a pleasure to drive. WE wouldnt trade it for any other vehicle, no matter the price!

Review
I have had no trouble with my caddy, it drives great and the performance is better than I expected. Every one looks and comments about the car all the time. Ease and handling are great for such a big SUV. Off road if I ever take it there performance is great. The AWD and stability track is a feature you can't live without.
Favorite Features
Teh Stability System and the Raido, sunroof and comfort of driving are the best assests. As for speed and acccelration you will get none better.
Suggested Improvements
THe air when you first turn in on on a hot day sucks. It take driving a couple of miles before it gets the truck cool. The roof liner is falling down and they can't seems to fix it it is a problem but one I have managed to live with.
not all it's cracked up to be

it looks good. gas mileage sucks. the ride sucks. costs too much for the profile only. rides tight. the inside is great. but, over all, it's just not worth it.... trying to get rid of it now with no luck.
