Pros: Spacious, luxurious, sleek, sounds great
Cons: Low gas mileage,
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for the best luxury car on the market, and is willing to pay a little extra for the name.

When I turned 16, I finally got the car I wanted, a 2002 Cadillac Escalade. It had been my moms before me, and I fell in love with it before I could even drive it. Everything about the Escalade is nice. It has more room in the car than I need, so ... read more

by bobbyboyjr
Jul 7, 2004 (A Somewhat Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No 

Pros: HORSEPOWER, ATTENTION
Cons: POOR FIT AND FINISH, SILVERADO GRADE MATERIALS, OVERLY SENSITIVE ACCELERATOR
The Bottom Line: IF YOU NEED THE ROOM BUY A TAHOE. IF YOU WANT RAP STAR ATTENTION THEN YOU CAN'T BUY BETTER ATTENTION AT THE PRICE.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ATTENTION, YOU WILL GET IT. HOWEVER FOR THE MONEY THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BETTER QUALITY CONTROL. THERE WERE OVER 7 ITEMS EITHER INCORRECTLY INSTALLED OR NOT WORKING, DRIVERS SEATBELT FOR ONE. IF YOU LIKE DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO ... read more

King of the Hill

Oct 2, 2003 (A Somewhat Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Performance, performance, performance. (It's good to be the Cadillac.)
Cons: Expect no quarter from law enforcement or small-minded members of the public.
The Bottom Line: The extra cost is worth the constant dose of adrenaline.

Once, a long time ago, the personal luxury car was the hottest segment of the automotive market. Contenders like Thunderbird, Riviera, Tornado and Grand Prix offered two doors, high performance and enough prestige to trickle down to their company's entir ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Luxury SUV, 4 wheel drive, comfort, handles like a car. SMOOTH
Cons: Expensive, Poor Fuel Mileage
The Bottom Line: I recommend this vehicle. The luxury, comfort and handling is tops. This SUV handles like a car. It's Great!

Before purchasing my Escalade, I had owned 2 other SUVs. I also test drove the Lincoln Navigator and the Mercedes M500. The Chevy Surburban was a great vehicle, but too big. The Jeep Grand Cherokee was (and still is) a great SUV to scoot around in. It ... read more

Best SUV I've owned

by npalomba
Jul 17, 2002 (A Somewhat Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Perfect size, Class, Good power, Moonroof
Cons: Suspension is a little too soft; breaks are soft
The Bottom Line: Great HP, Moonroof was needed and Caddy did the right thing redesigning this. Suspension too soft

Let's see where should I start: Great appointments, GM did it the second time, I wouldn't own the first escalade since it was only a GM with Caddy emblems. Great HP, the new engine has been great I find that the extra HP is great for passing, ... read more

Mar 17, 2002 (A Somewhat Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Versatile, Comfortable, Luxurious, High Technology
Cons: No coin holder, ergonomically ridiculous steering wheel audio controls.
The Bottom Line: If it fits within your budget, you can't go wrong with this SUV!

In acknowledgment of my middle-agedness, I joined AARP and bought my first Cadillac on the same day. The AARP does nothing for me, but the EXT makes me feel younger every time I drive it! My other vehicle is a BMW 540 Sport Wagon, and I can describe ... read more

Pros: 345 horses, 0-60 7.8 sec! Excellent handling, braking, styling.
Cons: Terrible gas mileage
The Bottom Line: The 2002 Cadillac Escalade is the perfect vehicle for anyone willing to spend 50 big ones on America's finest automobile

We bought our Cadillac Escalade about a week ago, trading in our 1999 Chevrolet Suburban in, plus about $30,000. Although somewhat expensive, the Escalade provides the owner with a multitude of abilities, both exterior and interior. First of ... read more

I'm In The Money, Whoah, not THAT much money!

by CM400a
Feb 27, 2002 (A Very Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No 

Pros: Luxurious, "upper-class" looks, relatively decent power
Cons: "upper-class" looks, EXPENSIVE, ugly
The Bottom Line: Who can deny, the Escalade is an awfully comfortable, smooth vehicle? No one can. But $56,000 is an outrageous price to pay for the Escalade! Not recommended.

The new Cadillac Escalade. The latest in GM's long line of suv's. Powerful 6 liter V-8 engine, all wheel drive, available tow package--it's a truck right? But no, it has heated leather seats, car-like suspension parts, and seating for 8, this is ... read more

Pros: 345HP engine, can you feel it?
Cons: Fuel economy... So what? 345 horses
The Bottom Line: If you want Luxury in a truck this is the vehicle for you. It has more power than other luxury truck/SUV, and is very comfortable.

CADILLAC TRUCK Who would have ever thought? With solid color painting and a bold and very aggressive front grill design. This truck/SUV is an eye catching wonder. It has a solid three piece bed cover that latches and locks to create a sealed ... read more

Better Than a Navigator

by BrianCam
Jan 1, 2002 - Updated Jan 7, 2002 (A Very Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Powerful V8, Roomy and Comfortable front seats
Cons: Poor Fuel Mileage, Lacks some Luxury Features
The Bottom Line: This is a decent vehicle, other luxury SUV either handle poorly or don't offer the seating capacity of the Escalade.

Truck people really have it made these days. There are so many good trucks to choose from. Think back 10 years when the term SUV was barely even relevant if even alive at all. Unfortunately, some of us are not truck lovers (myself included). As long as ... read more

Dec 19, 2001 (A Very Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: 250-watt stereo system, ONSTAR, 345 v-8 engine, BEAUTIFUL
Cons: EXPENSIVE and too nice to use for heavy duty jobs
The Bottom Line: The new Escalade is the pinnacle of what a luxury SUV should be. It may be high priced but you get your money's worth.

Now that I am in college and spend my days studying, talking with friends or partying I don't get to watch too much TV. However, every time I turn on the tube, I saw these new Escalade commercials calling it the "most powerful SUV on the planet". Since ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: power, comfort, AWD, did I say power?
Cons: interior could be better, OnStar service is poor
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for power and comfort, you won't be disappointed.

This is the ultimate SUV on the market right now. The appearance is unique and may not be for everyone, but I think it looks great. I wanted a luxury vehicle that could tow up to 8K pounds, and that left few contenders. I previously used a ... read more

The Bottom Line: Base on my limited experiences so far, it has exceeded my expectations.

**UPDATE 1/4/02 *** After having the Escalade a few months now I still love it but I have a few more observations. First, the 3rd seats are heavy and difficult to remove and re-install. Luckily I don't use them often but this would be ... read more

Pros: Great looks attracting new niche; attracts gawkers everywhere; stability, strong appeals

Pros: roomy, powerfull, fast
Cons: gas guzzeler.
GM really struck gold on this truck. It has every thing, a huge 6L V8,345HP,345 Lb/FT of tourqe. It is an amazing truck. Not that you would want to do major off roading in, but if there is a obsticale in your way, its bound to find a way to get past it.
