DIAMONDS AND PEARLS

I BOUGHT MY ESCALADE RIGHT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. TOTALLY LOADED, WHITE DIAMOND EXTERIOR. A JOY TO LOOK AT AND DRIVE. THE RUMBLE OF ITS OVERSIZED V-8 SENDS CHILLS DOWN MY BACK. ALL I ADDED WAS 22" RIMS AND TIRES WHICH INCREASED ITS OVERALL STABILITY. WHAT A CHARM TO DRIVE.

I have driven every big SUV out there, and this caddy is the best ride of all. It has plenty of power, and has a very "car like" ride If you are spending north of 50K , you can afford the gas it guzzles

Basically just a "dressed up" Chevy suburban. looks too much like the 40k suburban but while its around 55k+. need yo put in more features/gadgets like the Lincoln. should have shift on the fly 4x4 so you can engage just 2wd instead of AWD.

I have been nothing but dissappointed with this vehicle. From the slugish controls, to the cheap interior design. I mean it looked great at the dealership, until I got it home. It does have good power, but that just isn't enough.

This is THE BEST suv out there. We tried the h2 but it was so underpowered. Now this beast is far from underpowered. Even the 2WD model is a little speedy, but if you want a FAST and POWERFUL suv and you dont wanna pay for a euro $60,000 sport ute that cant tow, THIS IS THE ONE. TRUST ME.

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.

Best SUV by far

This is by far the best SUV I have ever owned, and I have owned them all. Better than my Mercedes G500, my H2, my 2003 Navigator, and my BMW X5. If you want the best in luxury, comfort, and power, then look no further.

The Best "Period"

I owned a Navigator until it was rear- ended by a truck and totalled(I was able to walk away). What to now purchase? My only choice after driving all the "beasts" was the ESCALADE. I no longer call it a beast, it is beautiful, a pleasure to drive, heated seats, DVD and the leather, what a "dream" SUV. I can recommend this vehicle 100%.

2003 Escalade, Love it!

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.
