  Solid - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By whatsup - June 24 - 1:13 am

  Pleasantly surprised by the Silhouette. Nothing wrong just like our 99. Luxurious unlike the Odyssey. Many features unavailable on the Honda.

  Very good, but not quite a 10 - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Den - June 14 - 3:56 pm

  Lots of Body roll, and weak gripping tires even at moderate speeds in turns. (Yes I know its a minivan, but even so, its sub-standard. The drivers seat needs to go. A "jackhammer" noise from the engine compartment sounds after warmup on occasion with the heating defroster (front) turned on. Did this like clockwork from new to time of recent service. Took it to dealer (they insist they did nothing to "fix" the problem) problem went away after they had it in the shop for 6 hours. I wonder if they get Factory points to avoid claims that can lead to lemon law claims? Hmmm. Center Console not being standard is a real "RIP-OFF". Would I buy this vehicle again? No. Id buy the Chrysler.

  Almost There - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By scamp - December 12 - 10:00 am

  First off, in terms of absolute value the Oldsmobile shines in terms of equipment and price. The ride, drive, and function of the van are good, but I would enjoy more power under the hood. Compared to the other GM vans, the Olds to me is the most attractive looking package. The Chevrolet for the same money seems just plain cheap. Disappointing are so-so fit and finish of body panels and a minor HVAC problem. If GM could sweat the small stuff a bit better - they would be back to #1.

  A solid family performer. - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Troy Heist - October 8 - 12:20 pm

  We purchased our 02 Silhouette in 07. One of our best investments. Many options are standard on the Premier package. It is spacious and fun to drive. The entertainment package keeps the kids occupied on long trips. I would recommend this vehicle to family who needs room and family mobility with out sacrificing the higher end comforts. Leather a plus for cleaning up after kids!!

  Great Van Overall - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By dirkdaddy - May 13 - 10:00 am

  Our first Van, thought Id hate it coming from a sports sedan, but we love it. The Olds/GMs are strong contenders I think. Pluses: * Interior made for American sized people by Americans * Tons of features come on the van * Great fuel milage yet power is enough to spin the wheels even on dry pavement * Transmission is strong, smooth, great shifting and reliable - not like Chrysler or Honda with problems. * Handling with 16" michelins very good * Self-leveling suspension nice touch! We could not belive all the features on the van (we have a used 98 version) and how nice it was inside.

  Good Choice - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By hark - February 15 - 2:00 am

  This is a very flexible vehicle-with the flip and fold seats. The powertrain is responsive and gets good mileage when compared to other makes. I have only had minor warranty work done. (broken cupholder, tailgate strap)

  By pyro - November 11 - 7:23 pm

Auto leveling system stinks. keeps raising the van till it tops out. Replaced shocks and vacume lines. Only 1 set of shocks made for this turd. I have to disconnect the hose to relieve the pressure. Sensor on fuel tank has quit. Motor on rear window had to be replaced, couldnt close the window. Vehicle is noisy to drive. Very slow to heat up in the winter. Right front turn signal decides when it wants to work, replaced socket already. New front hubs, control arms. 850.00
