    I purchsed a bravada back in march 2002 and so far it has 10,000 trouble free miles.The only times it has gone to the dealer was for a reccall and oil changes.The truck drives and handles like a car.The motor is as smooth and refined as any import car with twice the price tag.I was not looking to purchase an american car or truck,but after test drivig the bravada my mind was instantly changed.Kudos to G.M.for finally producing an affortable worthy world contender.

    We purchased our Bravada in June and have been utterly addicted ever since. It is wonderful; the build-quality issues all the magazines harp about are nowhere near as bad as they are made to sound. The SUV is very practical, luxurious, VERY powerful, has a wonderful Bose sound system, and the AWD is extremely useful. It drives nearly as well as our Aurora 4.0. Wonderfully done, Olds and GM!

    This vehicle steers and handles well, is quiet with a car-like ride, and fun to drive. There are lots of standard and optional features. Our choice was between a Bravada and a Rainier. The Buick dealership told us the only differences between the Bravada and the Rainier were the extra material to deaden noise, wood-trimmed metal door handles, Buick grill and optional V8 engine. The inside of the two vehicles looks the same. The Buick dealership told us the ride and driving abilities are the same, the parts are the same, and you can have the Bravada serviced at a Buick dealership. With all this in mind, we bought the better-priced Bravada.

    After 27,000 miles the vehicle has no pick-up, engine races when you accelerate. The A/C has failed multiple times - but only when Ambient is greater 85 degrees. The rear window wiper rarely touches the glass. The windshield wiper malfunctioned dispensing a galln of fluid on the road while the vehicle was in motion... dont get this or its cousin the trailblazer.

    By -

    We have had numerous quality problems. The dealer has yet to fix one on the first trip. One problem was that the "brake" lite on the dash came on while driving. It would only go off if we turned the car off. After 3 trips a short was finally found We also have twice replaced the plastic molding around the drivers inside door handleand it still keeps popping out in the matter of 3 days, we had the drivers power seat track break and the fuel guage stop working The vehicle got so far out of alignment that the front tires were ruined. The access door to the oil filter has broken.

    I just bought this and I absolutely love her. She is luxurious, spacious, and powerful. She can also tow more than most other SUVs in her class. Its a shame that Oldsmobile has to leave the market when they have such great cars.

    Pull a pop up camper and it handles it very well. Camper weighs 2900 pounds. Gas mileage on my vehicle is very good for this weight vehicle. I get 23-25 on the highway. I get 20.5 towing the camper.

    The only negative review comment that I have is that Oldsmobile gave so many of the vehicles away that they did not hold their value like the Trailblazer. For Instance, an equally equiped Trailblazer will still bring in a Blue Book Trade-in of $24K where the Bravada will only bring in $20K. So if you are in the hunt to pick up a nice used trailblazer that is loaded up you will get the exact same vehicle under the hood and inside while saving a premium $4K.

  • Id LOVE it, but! - 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
    By -

    I really enjoy my Bravada, its luxurious, comfortable, quiet, and RED! I have auto start & the heating system, etc., is great here in Alaska. BUT....I have had a little rattle that 5 visits to the dealer have not cured, which is very frustrating. This has been there since the car was almost new- -and its only six months old now. VERY annoying and inconvenient. A car that costs this much should have NO vibrations, chirps, squeaks or rattles!
