  Reliability, Performance & Comfort - 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Michael S. Krupka - March 2 - 10:00 am

  I have owned my dark green Oldsmobile Bravada for 3 1/2 years. It has run flawlessly and is driven over 100 miles each day. I currently have 80k miles on the vehicle. I have an average fuel economy of 20.1 mi/gallon using 87 Ron fuel. This vehicle is secure and comfortable and will be tough to replace. I have used synthetic oil and performed all necessary routine maintenance including transakle and rear differential fluid changes, transmission service and brake fluid flush. The vehicle has the original brake oads and rotors.

  This is my second Bravada, my other one, a 1993 (gets much better mileage by the way) perfect size for our family, not too big and bulky like the surbaban and fords the confort is exceptional and the drivability is great, plenty of power for the mountains of Colorado and the stytle to go with it, my only negative is gas milage <16 MPG

  Love it, hate it! - 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Travlinman - August 21 - 1:10 am

  Bought it w/ 81k mi and now have 124k on it. Runs great after many repairs, some due to age, some due to quality problems. Replaced/repaired brakes, U- joints, tires, battery, shocks, plugs/wires, water pump, belt tensioner, heater/air cond, headlamps, idler arm, oil leaks, etc. Have prob w/ stereo speakers also. Many interior squeaks & rattles. Very slow acceleration and ride deteriorates a bit past 65-70 mph. Rides nice at lower speeds and generally feels secure and smooth w/ AWD.

  Good Vehicle for the $$$ - 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By castledevcon - June 6 - 10:00 am

  I own a 91 and a 98 Bravada. Both have been very reliable. You get a lot of vehicle for you dollar in comparison to many other SUVs. It rides better than most true SUVs and the AWD is great for inclimate weather.

  I have loved the ablility that my 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada has. The AWD system is awesome, in all weather, and since I live out in the country 40 miles from work, they always know I will be there. I also have pulled my husbands 1-ton pickup out several times when stuck, usually including a horse trailer or full water tank behind him! This vehicle has had its problems though. The multi-function switch is awful, (blinker, cruise, lights, wipers) if one thing breaks the whole thing has to be replaced and it is very expensive. The serpentine belt, fuel pump and water pump have been other problems. This trucks gas milage is also not very good, which is especially irritating with gas prices this high! Also, I dont like the fact that you cant put a car seat in the center back. It must be on the side.

  A Great Bargain - 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Peter Dardaganis - September 10 - 2:00 am

  Needed a 4x4 for this winter. So far weve put 2,000 miles on it, no problem. Is completely loaded, paid 6800.00 plus NJ tax for a total of 7200.00 and then did a complete tune up and oil change for 300.00. It had 106,000 miles on it. Engine is strong, tranny tight, brakes perfect. Looking for another one for my daughter.
