    Both me and my roommate had a 03 one each. first the good news. Mine made it to 230k and very rarely had a major problem beyond having a tranny rebuild in the mid 100k range. Everything still worked at the end besides the fuel gauge that stopped working for the last 20k miles or so. At 230k part of the tranny cracked open while driving (normally and during winter)and all the fluid came out. Its was running perfectly with no problems besides the fuel gauge but decided not worth a rebuild. Bad news- roommate had same year van just with less options. hers was constantly having things go wrong and replaced(roughly 6k spent on repairs over 4 years), and it only had 140k on it. Someone sawed off her converter and went to get an estimate and found out also needed new break lines so she scrapped it. So weird same year 1 was excellent and made it way over 200k and 1 had tons of problems and 140k

  • Luxury at a great price - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
    By -

    Since GM was practically donating this van, i.e $500 cash rebate, $843 leather interior rebate, zero down, 0% for 60 months with no payment for 90 days, we decided to look. The Montana was nice but the Silhouette is classy. As a further inducement, Olds, which is closing shop, is giving a 60/60,000, zero deductible GM bumper to bumper extended warranty.. If you opt not to take the warranty you get and additional $1,000! I bought the van for $1,000 under the invoice price as computed here on Edmunds. Once I have sufficient driving experience Ill comment more.

  • Great Mini Van - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
    By -

    Van has a lot of room, and many features. It has 2 side sliding doors. The one on the passengers side opens by remotly by switch on key remote,or 2 panel switches in side of vechicle. I wish I would have paid for drivers side sliding door to open remotely too. Vehicle handles very well in the snow with traction guard. A radio,CD, Tape Player /with head phones so you dont have to listen to the kids music they have headphones in the back seat, and they can listen TapePlayer CD or Radio seperatly from you.You have to check this vechicle if you plan on buying a mini van. I am glad I did There are still too many standard features for me to list.

    Good handling, smooth ride, and great fuel mileage. Engine power very adequate, but too noisy upon acceleration. Exterior and interior styling are tops.

  • Third unit of this series - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
    By -

    This is my third GM minivan, second Silhouette. If my satisfaction continues at this level, Im in line for a fourth. I miss the plastic body, but the new features and level of comfort are superb. Much improved over my 92 model. A bit short on power for towing, and mileage drops to high teens with a trailer, but without the trailer I am getting high twenties MPG.
