  overly pleased - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By maddogcase - August 30 - 10:00 am

  the vehicle floats like a butterfly when cruising down the freeway and stings like a bee with the torque povided for towing. we have been getting as high as 25 mpg on the road and 17 mpg in the city. although we are pleased with the mileage, we would have preferred to have seen a little larger gas tank hanging from the belly of the beast.

  Dont drive this Bravada SUV in snow! - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Bravada owner - August 23 - 2:00 am

  The outside and interior of the Bravada is what sold me. However, from day one, there is a vibration as the car shifts into gear. The dealer could not duplicate the vibration. I live in snow country and my front bumper popped loose as I backed out of my driveway over approximately 6" of snow! This is an SUV and it cannot withstand normal winter driving! I am very disappointed and after owning the vehicle for four months, I am ready to trade. My AWD light came on, but the next day the mechanic said the AWD was in working order.

  Review of 2002 /2WD Olds. Bravada 1-yr. - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Bobby McElroy - June 6 - 10:00 am

  I have had my Olds 2002 Bravada for one year and have had no problems. The Bravada with taxes cost me about $35,000. dollars, has every thing except 4WD/, dont need it in Georgia. The ride is as good as any 4 door sedan made by GM. Its turning radius is super. I love the Engine, Quiet and will, give power when needed. The gas mileage is poor, with air on the best is 15--to 16 miles to the gallon in town. On the interstate, I - 75 the best mileage at 60---65 was 20 to 21. Steering is very quick the smallest movement of the steering wheel will make you over steer. All and all I give it a 9 on a 10 pt scale. Bob McElroy Macon, Ga.

  Last one for me! - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By drmimller - April 29 - 10:00 am

  Im glad that Olds is going to stop making the Bravada soon. This is my third one and they keep getting worse. The 2002 has demonstrated the worst quality control during the build that I have ever experienced in a new vehicle. It started with a bad paint job, followed by a problem with the AWD system, then trim on the rear gate coming loose and replaced, followed by a moonroof air deflector that would not respond to repair and finally caused a total moonroof module replacement, and finally (to date!)replacement of front door power windows control unit replacement (wouldnt go all the way down).

  NOTHIN BUT THE BEST - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By CHILL - November 21 - 1:03 am

  AS A CURRENT OWNER(WIFE PRIMARY DRIVER) AND SALES CONSULTANT, WE DID CONSIDER A NUMBER OF VEHICLES! THE 5/60 DID PERSUAY MY WIFE AND I & THE NO INTEREST/NO PAYMENTS FOR A YEAR WAS A BIG PLUS!! HONESTLY THERE IS NOTHING OUT IN THE MARKET THAT COMES CLOSE TO THIS PRODUCT. THE BRAKING AND HANDLING IS EXCEPTIONAL AND OVER ALL CREATURE FEATURES ARE GREAT. EXCELLENT TURNING RADIUS. FORD OR DODGE PRODUCTS, SORRY THERE IS NO COMPARISON. SUGGESTION FOR THOSE CUSTOMERS NOT TO EXCITED ABOUT THE PRODUCT ,WHY DID YOU BUY? BEATS ANYTHING ON THE MARKET. WE ALSO HAVE A INDIGO BLUE,BUT HAVE NOT SEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE PAINT, ALSO THE 2ND BRAVADA THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED IN JAN OF 2001.

  Mixed Feelings - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By dane_1 - May 17 - 10:00 am

  We chose the Bravada 2002 for my wife mainly because of the seats - she had two back surgeries last year and the front seats suites her very well. We had been looking at SUVs from Mercedes Benz, Lexus, Ford, Toyota, etc. I was a little concerned about the quality (both external and internal) and reliability, however we havent had any major problems. I too would had liked the driving to be more like Toyota Highlander - more car like, but its a SUV of the old type - despite the well suited re-design for the 2002 model.

  Excellent Ride - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By dr.malthuse - January 5 - 2:00 am

  My Bravada has been a smooth ride and reliable throughout. The luxuries and comforts make long drives less of a burden and with all of its cargo space packing for 5 adults is easy. Any complaints about the off road ability are ridiculous as the company never claims to compete with off-road S.U.V.s. However, I have found that my Bravada is more than capable off road and has been the savior of more rugged trucks on our adventures. It is a perfect balance on the luxury vs. Sport- ute scale. I loved it so much I just bought my second Bravada for my wife.

  Best Rounded Luxo SUV - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By cmack4 - December 24 - 10:10 pm

  I did a full round search of all of the brands, and surprisingly enough the Olds was the most appealing in nearly every category. It had the most powerful powertrain of any vehicle in its class, including the V8s, not to mention the better gas mileage of an inline 6. Ride quality is superb on the air-ride rear suspension and Bilstein Shocks. The leather seating is superb, and yes even compared to its foreign counterparts.

  75,000 miles and still enjoy it! - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Scott - November 1 - 11:00 pm

  Bought it new and 5 years and 75,000 miles without any major problems. I tow a small boat, haul items and often flip down the rear seats. Use it as a comfortable ride when out on the town with friends. Very comfortable.
