Review
This is my 2nd Escalade. The 2002 was by far my favorite car. So I was excited to see the refinements in the 2003 model. I was very disappointed. They upped the price and cheapened the insides significantly. They moved the computer console, took away some of the convenience buttons on the dash and the steering wheel, changed the center console from 2 compartments to 1, and added a useless opening in the dash.The trailer package, which was included in the 2002, became an option in 2003. All in all, I was very disappointed in this year's model from the inside appearance standpoint. As far as power and outside appearance, it was outstanding.
Favorite Features
The power is incredible for an SUV. This still turns heads.
Suggested Improvements
The interior needs to be upgraded to at least what it used to be in 2002. This is a $60,000 car-it needs to look like one. Small touches on the inside and out should further seperate it from the other GM models-And....work on the gas mileage!!
Great!

Review
Stepping on the accelerator tells the difference btw this vehicle and others. The low gas mileage is expected for this engine. I don't regret having paid $57,000 for my new Escalade.
Favorite Features
bose sound system, navigation system, engine power, high tech equipment & wood trim
Suggested Improvements
Make OnStar available at a more competitive price that already includes monthly minutes; free navigation system- DVD available every year thru/ dealer; wider tires
Exciting and Fun to Drive

Just bought an Escalade after looking at GMC Denali. Loved it from the first drive and it is different from GMC Yukon despite what they say. Have taken several trips and it drives great. Integrated navigation, XM Radio are great and work well. Overall a great drive.
Favorite Features
XM Radio, rear seat entertainment system, and navigation system

Review
We bought the Escalade after our third son was born and have found that this truck is great for towing the boat or just the family around.. interior and exterior are classy and overall great. If you are looking for not only a family vehicle, but a stylish one as well this is the one for you.
Favorite Features
quiet engine, pleanty of space, easy to drive.
Suggested Improvements
bigger factory rims (ours came with 17" but it now has 22" rims).. 3rd row seats can be difficult to get into because the 2nd row doesnt slide forward.. not much to complain about with this vehicle.
Not Cadillac Quality

Review
My second Escalade.I am disappointed 3.5k miles and plagued with problems. Exhaust chimes after driving 5 miles and parking as it cools. Seat heater button is too close to the power window button. Turns on heat when you try to operate window. Air conditioning has quit. Service stability alarm has come on seeral times. Cargo door needs a gorilla slam to avoid a door ajar alarm as you are driving down the street.Exhaust is mucher louder than 2002. Except for air conditioner, dealer claims these are normal and I have to live with it. Not at $50,000 I don't.
Favorite Features
Great style. Promises a lot but quality is bad.
Suggested Improvements
Exhaust system needs to be redesigned. Seat heater buttons need to be relocated. Dealer needs to be coached on what is normal to a Cadillac customer
