  Bravada vrs Explorer - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Paul in FL - January 29 - 2:00 am

  Bought our 2002 in 12/01 for 29,000 even with no dlr fees..minus GM points of 2500 and then got the Zero financing for 3 yrs..So $26.5 with 0%..DO NOT pay over invoice and refuse the dealer fees! We have 5500 carefree miles now..Replaced a 96 explorer that we loved with 125,000 V-8 miles..but the Bravada has much smoother and Much quieter ride than the explorer..The 270hp eng has plenty of torque and acceleration..

  Love my Bravada! - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By LindaLou - December 20 - 2:00 am

  Ive been very happy with my Bravada. I think it looks like a more expensive car (Lexus?) and rides like a more expensive car (BMW?) I adore the DVD player for our daughter.

  Best Car Ive Owned - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By $k1TTl3z79 - December 18 - 3:10 am

  My wife and I bought our 02 bravada in jan of 08. The truck had 47,000 and a sticker price of 15,000. Ive had the truck for two months now and I must say, it is the best vehicle we have ever owned. I love the heated seats, by far my favorite option. The wheels had to go, we replaced them with aftermarket 20" rims and tires. The sound system isnt bad. I do have one gripe though. The front bumper wiggles around like its loose. I took it to a diff dealership and they told me that was normal. But Im sure thats B. S. I wish it had a flip down dvd, as that would quiet the kids. I think that dvds were an option, I just dont have it. All in all, a great vehicle, much better than its sister trailblazer!

  The Best - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Rater - November 6 - 8:30 am

  My wife and I have really enjoyed this car. We bought used and did have a problem very early with AWD, but fixed under warranty, no further problems. Mirrors are screwy. Otherwise, a great car to drive. Very comfortable for long trips (wish mpg was better on hwy and town.) This is a large vehicle, yet handles very well and acceleration is far better than any SUV I have ever driven, yet ride is almost as comfortable as luxury sedans. GMs decision to end Olds line was based on misconceptions. Given this was Olds last new design, they clearly still knew how to build a car. If GM wanted to cut a line, they should have considered Buick or Pontiac. If I could buy another, I would!

  A midsize SUV with a small foot print - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By johdavl - July 3 - 10:00 am

  I originally was looking for a Tahoe or Yukon size vehicle, but gas mileage and garage size played heavily into the equation. I found a 2002 Bravada with every option (sunroof instead of LCD TV). The gas mileage (20-22 on the highway) is far better than a Tahoe would ever be and it tows boats very well. I pulled a Ski Natique a couple hundred miles and got 15-16 mpg. Thats about what a Tahoe would do without a boat in tow and the Bravada fits in my garage!!

  My best vehicle so far! - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Ron Hughes - January 5 - 4:36 pm

  I purchased my Bravada in October. I went to buy a Trailblazer but it took only one test drive to decide on the Bravada. The excellent ride, perfect seating, and outstanding engine sold my wife and I. Then, I found out that it has a better warranty than the Trailblazer. I drove it home that day. I have now had the Bravada for over 6000 mile and 4 months and have not been back to the dealer. Buy it! You will not regret it.

  Get an extended warranty!!! - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Mike M - December 4 - 5:46 pm

  I never believed in extended warranties, but this vehicle has made me a believer. I bought the vehicle with 40,000 miles on it. The AWD has failed twice on this vehicle for the same reason. The mirrors never adjust to the drivers setting (which was supposedly fixed), the serpentine belt shredded because of a bad pulley, the shifter cable got caught on the drive train, along with several other (but expensive) nuisances.
