  Luv my Olds - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By luv my olds - September 20 - 10:00 am

  Super vehicle, runs great, looks great, all the toys, and I received 5 years 100,000 km warranty - a nice bonus compared to GMs anemic usual 3 year 60,000 km.

  Good Old Truck - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Jimmy1 - June 10 - 11:56 pm

  We brought this truck 11/01 using the 0% financing incentive. It was our 6th Oldsmobile and we still own 5 of them. It has serve me well with no major repairs until around 150k miles when the fan clutch started getting noisy. Now at 215k I have spent a total of $4,975 on repairs. Still using second set of tires and on original brakes. We keep it serviced and minor issues repaired, and I still use it everyday and not afraid to travel any distance in it. When it had 125k miles I towed a trailer loaded with a 1960 Ford 4x4 pick-up from northern California to St.Louis, MO with no incidents. Note: in order to replace one of the heaters you have to pull the transmission (thats dumb).

  Brilliant Bravada - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By JP - May 18 - 8:26 pm

  Ive owned the car since 2004 - I purchased it from CarMax with 24,000 miles on it and now have 60,000. Ive havent had single problem with the vehicle. Ive kept up with regular maintenance. Its been a remarkably safe, reliable, and strong vehicle. The exterior looks like new. I havent used it to tow anything, however, it has a strong engine that will move quickly at all speed ranges. Its great on snow and gravel roads. I havent taken it off road, but in 6 inch mud it crawls along fine. I wish Olds didnt fold - they are the highest quality GM make aside from Cadillac in my eyes.

  Excellent!! - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By dlflyboy - May 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Bravada in Oct, 2002. Since, I have put 27,000 miles on it and the only problem Ive had is the inside of the drivers door was starting to pop out. Had it fixed. The only time Im in the service dept is when Im there for an oil change,tire rotation and scheduled tune ups. My Bravada is very quite. No loud engine noise with mine (not sure why some of the other reviewers have loud ones). Ive had suvs from German to Japanesse. Id rate this as one of the best suvs Ive owned.

  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.

  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!!
