2003 Cadillac Escalade from North America - Comments

Nothing - brand new; hence the "N/A"s.

UNbelievable comfort and drive! We thought we were spoiled with our 2000 Suburban! GM hasn't missed a trick on this one.

Tighter turning circle than my neighbor's BMW X5 - he's going to get one now!

Before you buy a luxury SUV you MUST drive this one.

I'd have to disagree with "the finest luxury SUV on the planet". my friend has a Escalade, and they are nice, but my Range Rover is by far more luxurious.

Yeah, but Range Rovers are ugly, and they are owned by ford : (

I've had my 2003 Escalade since new and now has 47,000 miles on it. Unbelievable performance, looks and reliability.

It's American made also.

If you are in the market for a luxury model, test drive this last because once you try it, you will buy it.

Comparing a luxurious and smooth Escalade to the hideously ugly and over priced Land Rover is an insult to Cadillac.

Have you ever ridden in a Range Rover? I really love the air suspension. I also have ridden in an Escalade and thought they were tacky. I drove my son's Range Rover in Florida and really enjoyed driving it around a lot. With all the nice features he still upgraded the audio system, but kept everything looking stock. He also owns a Viper RT/10 which actually has better fuel economy then his SUV,,,,, not that it matters.

I bought my 2003 Escalade USED, upgrading from a Denali. I must definitely say that the Cadillac is a Head turning, comfortable SUV. The air suspension has the truck riding on clouds (W/24inch wheels) and the AWD is really nice in the rain. The only issue I have is the Navi System. The 04 has the nicer BIGGER screen an it makes mine look tiny. However, I came out winning with the 13 inch screen for the DVD system in the back. I am truly pleased every time I use my Escalade.

I rented a Cadillac Escalade for the weekend, it was very hard to give it back. I enjoyed the SUV very much, excellent vehicle.

About the comment on the cadi vs a range rover.

I have sat in a escalade and driven it on the highway and I have to say my parents ford minivan was more stable on the highway. it is simply a horrible truck, it cannot handle, the materials are very cheap, the seats are not supportive at all. all is has is good towing power and a very big ego. As for the Range rover, well, the queen has one of thoese and it is an absolutely amazing vehicle. it is a real truck as it can go off roading un like the escalade.

I own a 2003 Escalade and for an SUV, it rides really nice. It's not meant to be a van, it's still a truck chassis.

I think the seats are very comfortable and the interior is very good quality.

I love the 345 horsepower also. It has good power. The transmission shifts so smoothly, I can barely tell when it is shifting.

All the doors open and shut perfectly. I like this Cadillac better than the 2005 Tahoe LT I tested and I also liked it more than the 2004 Yukon I test drove.

The Exterior is sharper than any of the other SUV's.

When I test drove the Escalade, I pretty much turned my keys to my Trailblazer over to the dealer for a trade.

I don't think anyone could understand the Escalade experience unless they actually drove it.
