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%.

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.

Best SUV

Excellent driveability but requires constant attention to the road. So many switches and displays that take your eyes off the road. The vehicle will drift very quickly if not constantly on guard.

Awsome vehicle - I traded my 94 Caddillac Concours for a 2003 Escalade! I am very impressed! Plush, comfortable interior and what a ride! Definately a head turner...Recommed this vehicle to ANYONE in the market for a luxury SUV

bought our escalade diamond white. great car. runs great. some minor problems during first month of purchase. had worries, but after about 1000 miles, it ran good as new. gas mileage? improved dramatically after adding borla exhaust. sound is great, performance increased as well as gas mileage. for 60K its worth buying

We have thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle so far. The kids have enjoyed it and we are already ready for an ESV.

I've owned 4 Suburbans and 3 Tahoes and loved them all. But, nothing comes close to my Escalade. It's more powerful, more comfortable, better looking, better built and, of course, more prestigeous. I LOVE this truck. I've put 20,000 miles on it in 7 months without a single problem. My kids love it, too.

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.

Escalade=Navigator on Steroids

This ain't your grandfathers Caddy!!! This is by far the best SUV on the market. Inside and out, the Best. I actually consider driving on trips instead of flying! The reviews that tell you to buy a Lincoln instead were obviously written by people who have never driven the Escalade. That is the only way to explain their wrong advice. Granted, the MPG is not the best, but if you can afford a 50k+ vehicle, you don't care about the extra cost of the gasoline. Besides, Power=Fuel consumption. If your into Luxury and pure power, you've found it here. Yuppies have found their new signature.
