  Id LOVE it, but! - 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Annette Belz - February 1 - 2:00 am

  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!

  Bravada vrs Explorer - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Paul in FL - January 29 - 2:00 am

  Bought our 2002 in 12/01 for 29,000 even with no dlr fees..minus GM points of 2500 and then got the Zero financing for 3 yrs..So $26.5 with 0%..DO NOT pay over invoice and refuse the dealer fees! We have 5500 carefree miles now..Replaced a 96 explorer that we loved with 125,000 V-8 miles..but the Bravada has much smoother and Much quieter ride than the explorer..The 270hp eng has plenty of torque and acceleration..

  Never Again - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By UnhappyFloridian - January 26 - 11:46 pm

  I was really excited about purchasing my Platinum Edition Oldsmobile Bravada until I started having problems with it. At 36,000 miles my transmission, rear wiper motor and A/C system all went (glad I bought the extended warranty). Since then, I have replaced the brakes twice, redone the front end, and keep getting water in my transfer case (car has been in the shop at least six times for this alone). I never drive in water and they cant figure out what the problem is. Also, it has lots of rattles. My ignition shorted twice as did my radio. My transmission is going again and the roof rack paint is peeling. The jack they provided could not hold the vehicle weight. Oldsmobile refused to replace a $50 jack free of charge. I would never purchase an Oldsmobile again.

  NICE SUV, NOT SO NICE SUV - 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By pinmaster - January 11 - 2:00 am

  I like the vehicle overall, but it has had a lot of mechanical problems since I purchased it used exactly 1 year ago with 58,000 miles. I have replaced the AWD system, serpentine belt, alternator, the idler arm, rotors, and front bearings all in a years time. My husband USE to have a 97 Olds Bravada and had most of the same things go wrong with it around 48,000 miles. We could no longer afford 2 vehicles with so many problems so we traded it for a brand new (2003) foreign vehicle. Go Toyota!!

  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.

  Best Car Ive Owned - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By $k1TTl3z79 - December 18 - 3:10 am

  My wife and I bought our 02 bravada in jan of 08. The truck had 47,000 and a sticker price of 15,000. Ive had the truck for two months now and I must say, it is the best vehicle we have ever owned. I love the heated seats, by far my favorite option. The wheels had to go, we replaced them with aftermarket 20" rims and tires. The sound system isnt bad. I do have one gripe though. The front bumper wiggles around like its loose. I took it to a diff dealership and they told me that was normal. But Im sure thats B. S. I wish it had a flip down dvd, as that would quiet the kids. I think that dvds were an option, I just dont have it. All in all, a great vehicle, much better than its sister trailblazer!

  Cannot believe this is an Oldsmoblie! - 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Jerad Upwall - December 14 - 7:33 pm

  We needed a awd or 4 wheel drive vehicle that was reliable and easy to oberate in the snow country, especially for my wife who has never lived in the snow before. We love our Bravada because of its comfort and style and power of its engine.

  Bravado Praise - 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Gene Petitto - December 3 - 10:00 am

  The vehicle is attractive with a little different look but has all of the amenities that varied on the other SUVs driven. The ride is great and the visibility from the vehicle is good.

  A Dream! - 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada

  Handles wonderfully in snow and on ice - - I love the SmartTrack system! Could be a bit larger inside, but overall a great auto to own!

  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!
