  Bought ANOTHER one- Im excited - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By notevenlooking - February 23 - 10:00 am

  First- I am convinced THERE IS NOTHING MORE RELIABLE THAN A GM ENGINE. Second- This vehicle is big, fat and comfortable yet economical to run, maintain and insure. More stuff: I looked aaround for 6 mo.s to replace my trusty 1990 SILHOUETTE (bought used in 94 for doing conventions), which I absolutley loved. Traded at 181,000 miles Needed nothing but gas and religiously changing oil, standard maintenance like a few sets of tires, mufflers, alternators. Still running like a clock but the rest was dying.

  100K and no problems - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By 2002 Olds Minivan - January 11 - 4:33 pm

  I am the original owner of 2002 old minvian. I just made it 99,700 miles and decided to sell it and buy a 2008 Chrysler T&C. I basically had zero problems with the minivan and it was the best vehicle I have ever owned. On the way home from the Chrysler dealership after purchasing my 2008 T&C with 15,000 it started making brake noise. Had to replace front/rear pads/rotors and they also replaced the battery. I know GM takes a lot of grief but in my experience their quality has been very good.

  A very nice minivan for the money. Hard to find any better comfort in this class. Best of all the van is fully loaded.

  A great value - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By drmiller - April 17 - 2:00 am

  I now have 35000 miles on my 2002 GLS. Never have had a problem. Gas mileage over city and highway has averaged 21.5 mpg over the entire life. There is nothing that I dont like about the vehicle. All that and a discounted price because they are discontinuing the brand. A great value in my book.

  By lukewilder - February 17 - 10:00 am

  The Olds Silhouette far exceeded my expectations. The interior is comfortable, roomy and versatile. I took 6 persons and luggage for a 2000 mile trip. The vehicle has been completely reliable thus far. The oil monitor has saved me money. The Olds is as fast as any sedan Ive driven and is still quite at 100 MPH (shh... dont tell mom).

  Great Minivan - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By PAPA - September 4 - 2:00 am

  A great minivan, excellent build and great gas mileage. Runs on regular fuel without any ping. Very comfortable and loaded up like a Cadillac. In fact traded a Deville for this great vehicle.

  No more GMs - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Frank - August 8 - 12:50 am

  I bought this vehicle new in 2002. It had a sticker price of over $35,000. I now have 50,000 miles and cant wait to unload it. The vehicle has AWD and is a nice looking van but it has one flaw. Its a GM! I have had to replace the wheel bearings twice, the heater in the front sear twice and now the rear gasket needs replaced at a cost of $900. GM of course is not willing to assist in the repair even though there are only 50,000 miles. I have a 1997 Dodge Caravan with 105,000 miles and it never needed any repairs other than normal maintenance. I am getting it repaired and then trading it in on anything other than a GM. I would not recommend a GM and I will never ever buy one again.

  GM Should Go Bankrupt! - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Bryan - February 3 - 6:23 pm

  This car was OK for a few months and then a long string of small failures started. Then recently the intake manifold gasket failed and almost destroyed the engine. GM has known about these bad gaskets for years and told no one. The service department secretary diagnosed my problem as soon as I walked in. The recall for the 3.4L engine would cost more than GM has in the bank, thats why they wont do it. I hope they never sell another vehicle!

  Lovin my Olds! - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Steve & Becky - October 1 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is the top of the line from what I have seen in minivans, total luxury. We bought this vehicle used and we didnt know all the neat extras it had until we got it home, we were just looking for a nice minivan, but got so much more. Has a great 6-track cd player, electronic sliding doors,(with many different locations inside the car from which to open them), really nice to have when you are carrying baby seats and groceries etc. Van is nice and roomy, for real people, not just kids. Overall a great choice for anyone wanting lots of room and luxury.
