I wanted one since I was 12 and it's everything and more I dreamed of! The ride is so smooth and luxurious. So quiet the first day I got it. I turned over the key cause I thought it was off. It is like driving an airplane at night. Has every feature you could possible want. The body style is so good Cadillac didn't change it for 5 years. Feel so safe and sound whenever I drive it. Not good on gas but its worth the price. Has a powerful huge engine that can get up and go when you need to.

I enjoyed driving the escalade, but since it the first year it came out a few minor hiccup need to be corrected. When the back shock stays up it puts pressure on the front, thus when one goes in a little hole the front suspension goes up and down repeatedly.

Still Solid and Going Strong

I purchased my '02 Escalade as a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle in 2003. This is the best "car" I've ever owned. It is still solid with minor wear and tear after 106,000 miles. It is an SUV with the handling and comfort of a "car". Even when hauling two horses in a trailer, this baby feels safe to me. I probably will drive it another 100,000 miles as I don't feel like I am taking a chance that the newer models can out do this one. Nice work on this 2002 model.

This Cadillac is a blast to drive. The acceleration is quick and powerful. It has OnStar for any emergencies which is good. It takes time getting used to all of the space that it takes in different lanes compared to a passenger car though.

At first I was not using the Escalade, because I was driving my old car, a Chrysler Cirrus LXI, trying to sell it. I must admit I was a little scared to drive the big SUV, because it was so much bigger than what I was used to. When I took my first trip in this Escalade, I was hooked. I LOVE it. It takes a little more gas than some vehicles, but the drive and ride overrides the cost. It is far superior to other vehicles I have driven.

I'm lovin' my new "used" ride

I have never owned a luxury vehicle before. I just traded in my 2004 Jeep Liberty for a 2002 Cadillac Escalade with 30,000 miles and it rides better than my Jeep did with only 6,000 miles. I love the roomy interior, the speakers are great, and the ride is so smooth. It's a heck of a way down if you forget how high up you are when exiting the car though! So far I'm happy, but I did get an extended warranty just in case things go wrong.

A gas eater, but I'm glad to have it.

I had 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe which was great, but this Cadillac Escalade has so much more power, better handling and a really nice sounding stereo. I also love the on-board computer, higher qaulity leather seats, tilting 2nd row seats, and finally with this big boy sporting a big Cadillac emblem so no one will mistake this ride for just another SUV...

I gave up my BMW 740is which is a great car, but my 2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD is a blast to drive, powerful, rugged, safe, and has great road vision. I'm impressed with the fuel mileage. Don't get me wrong, this is no Honda, but to think I can haul 7-8 people at 17-18 MPG on the freeway, which is not to bad.

I Love this vehicle! It's fun to drive! I drive 30,000 miles a year, my Escalade makes it enjoyable. It's a smooth drive and a beautiful SUV. I live in California and we're in the mountains in the winter (lot's of snow!) and desert (temperatures range in the 100's constantly) in the summer. My Cadillac always performs no matter where I'm at!

We haven't even owned this vehichle for 11 months and it has been in the shop 6 times for multiple mechanical and electrical problems. In fact, it is currently in the shop for its 3rd A/C system and after giving 55,000 for this vehicle, Cadillac wouldn't offer me a loaner vehicle. The car has been in the shop for almost 2 weeks now, while I have nothing to drive and still paying 1000/month payment.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING SEDAN DEVILLES FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS BEFORE CHANGING TO THE ESCALADE. I WATCHED THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE THIRD SEAT BECAME AVAILABLE, THEN I BOUGHT IT. I MUST SAY THAT I WAS A BIT SCHEPTICAL AS I WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE FROM A CAR TO A SUV. IN RETROSPECT, I AM GLAD I DID. I DO NOT BELIEVE I GAVE UP MY "caddie ride", NOR DID I GIVE UP MUCH OF MY ENGINE PERFORMANCE OR MANEUVERABILITY.

We bought this vehicle the day before Christmas Eve of 2001, and it has been a pleasureable experience since. We regularly use it for long trips (200+ mi). It is very comfortable and the seats are divine. After trying out the Lexus LX470 and Toyota Land Cruiser, the Escalade was the obvious choice. Both alternatives were very uncomfortable, (odd for a lexus), and not very appealing. The engine is wonderful and nothing comes close. Dont buy a Denali, the Escalade is the best suv for the money!!

As a first time SUV owner I had doubts I would enjoy this truck. Well after 13 months of trouble free driving I'd have to say Cadillac has a HIT! Mileage has not been great but what do you expect from 345 HP and 5700 LBS (12- 13.5 city best of 17.3 highway). The ride and handling for a vehicle of this size is remarkable. Cadillac uses a leather that keeps its "LEATHER" smell. If you have never experienced a Cadillac, the Escalade is a great place to start.

Finally! A Luxury SUV

As an owner of SUVs for the past 10 yrs, I am finally truly in heaven. Had plans to buy another Ford Expedition, but for 2002 nothing compares to the Cadillac Escalade AWD. You can pay more and get less or pay less and get a LOT less. If you looked at the 2001 model, come back and look again: 2002 is completely remodeled and worth your time! To think I almost didnt buy this one because the first dealer we went to was HORRIBLE. Glad we went to Coulter Cadillac. Dr Cooper was the best!

I have driven high-end luxury cars for most of my adult life. I currently own a 2001 BMW X5 (wife car) and traded out of a 99 Mercedes ML430 for the Escalade. That being said, I would like to say that the Escalade to date has more than met my expectations. I actually enjoy driving this vehicle more than the ML and BMW. I know the quality question is still unanswered with the car being so new but so far, I have not had any problems with the vehicle.

At this time it is not dependable. I 've had to use other vehicles for travel--just don't know when it will stop running. I contacted Bill Lang Cad today and am waiting for a response....

Cadillac has hit a home run with the 2002 Escalade AWD. 345 ponies & 380lbs of torque, a blast to drive. Quality seems very high and design is exceptional. It seems as if Cadillac has risen to the foreign challenge and blown them away. The Escalade is priced better than the ML, X5, and Range Rover but will outperform them anyday.

This car is great. It's a big truck but handles and drives like a sports car. The steering is awesome. It has a very quick acceleration and can out gun almost every car on the street. If you're going to get one I suggest black. It looks very cool at night. The only thing that needs to be improved is the wheels. They should have included 18 inch or larger wheels on this thing. 17 in is a little small. what's up omi, flint, dave, hemx, and all of my crew in Beaverton

My Escalade is a great overall improvement over previous SUV's. AWD, 345 HP, much better Stereo, agile handling in snow & rain, very good storage space, and in summary a world-class SUV that I plan to drive for at least five years. SS

The Corvette of SUV's

I have owned several SUV's...I always came back to driving my vette I just traded my Expedition for the AWD Escalade I think I have found close to what I really have in mind it was real fun to drive, but this could be a real hit if GM does it right I will say if your other car is a vette this is the perfect family car for you......and if your single and you drive it around you will probably have a family shortly!
