  Oldsmobile Bravada 4.3 AWD - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Pawel - February 17 - 1:23 pm

  Ive had ups and downs with this car. I love the car because of all the memories I have had with it. It actually has help up pretty well I guess you can say. But the quality of this car. I have to say GM did a very poor job. I have had to replace so many things on this car, it was probably not even worth it. I could of probably paid off another car with that money. the most stupid feature that I hate is the air pump that apparently is defective in all Blazers and Bravada models 96-01.

  Look elsewhere - 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Christova - January 31 - 2:00 am

  I greatly regret my investment in a 2001 Bravada, especially after considering the horribly low resale value(I paid 34,000, worth less than 15,000 a mere two years later) and the terrible build quality. It is two years old but may as well be 10 the way it is falling apart. The Bose stereo is now useless as the door plastic rattles at higher bass like the speakers on a $10 walkman. I have had it in for service numerous times including problems that they just cannot fix. For instance, if you crank the wheel and back up, the truck grinds and grates and just today it did the same when I pulled forward and cranked the wheel.

  So Far So Good - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By PD - January 12 - 10:00 am

  Bought my 02 Bravada in 12/01 for invoice with no dlr fees and then minus $2500 in GM Card points and then took the Zero APR loan..26,500 with zero int loan is hard to beat! Replaced a 96 Explorer-V8 with 125,000 miles..and this SUV is 100% better in Ride and Quietness..now have 6,500 Trouble free miles..

  First time SUV buyer - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By ll farrell - December 24 - 2:00 am

  Olds has always had upper level vehicles and discontuing the line is undoubtly a mistake. The Buick limited line of vehicles, would have been the logical choice. Anyway, this is a well built luxury type of SUV. All the bells and whistles, plus pure quiet. Tight, solid and totally quiet. Plenty of power and easy to work on. Where was a vehicle like this when our family was growing up?

  Very Poor Vehicle - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Vince U. - December 8 - 10:00 am

  This was my first SUV. I purchased it because I get discounts on GM vehicles. The problems I have had, greatly exceed the value of the discount. SUV died for no reason one week after purchase. GM couldnt figure out why and was only able to "fix it" by disengaging wires. GM admits this was a "temporary fix", but never did anything else. Security light is always on on the dash along with numerious others, rain sensor quit, rear wiper never goes back into harness, terrible knocking when making sharp turns and constant stalling issues are some of the problems that plague this vehicle. Cant wait to turn it in a buy an Explorer.

  If you see one for sale....run!!! - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By pamster - October 9 - 10:00 am

  This is our second Bravado. We thought the first one (98) was a fluke with all the troubles we had. No such luck. The 00 Bravada Platinum is the biggest peice of crap ever! Everything seems to go to hell after 50,000 miles. The front end has been completely rebuilt now, and were being told the transmission may have problems. Junk, pure and simple.

  Best Luxury SUV Ever - 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By L. De Concillis - September 6 - 10:00 am

  We bought our 04 Bravada new in 2004 for approx. $37,000. We test drove many vehicles such as the Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, BMW x5, and Acura MDX. This car blew the competition away; The Bravada is quiet and has a very smooth ride, power folding mirrors, DVD player, voice activated everything, and just looks like a luxury vehicle. It is such a shame that GM no longer makes the Oldsmobile division anymore, however, I highly recommend the Bravada to anyone looking for a mid-size luxury SUV.

  Should have researched better! - 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Scott - September 3 - 3:13 pm

  I bought this thing from a small dealer, mistake #1. Since I have bought it, I have put roughly 15,000 miles on it in almost 20 months. I have had to replace a CO2 pump, oil cooling lines, and both front brake rotors and both front wheel bearings. The check engine light has been on more than I can count. There is a lesson to be learned from buying a vehicle that manufacturer has gone out of business...Dont!

  Not a bad car, Not great either - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By 123 - August 17 - 8:36 am

  I have had this car for about 4 years. Bought the car used with 40k on it and now it is up to 100k. Have not had any major problems with it until now. The ball joints need to be replaced and the mechanic I took it to wants to replace all the seals and steering rods in the front with the ball joints. Other than that only small things have gone wrong with it. The fuel gauge broke and I replaced it and then it broke again so I just go by the mileage now. The car gets horrible gas mileage, An average of 12 to 15 mpg.
