  Nice SUV!! - 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Kevin - September 12 - 6:03 pm

  Very nice vehicle! Rides very nice, no sway like earlier SUV of its type. The leather seats are very supple and conforming, the lumbar support makes long drives even more comfortable. Excellent rear-round, all utility car, Ive got the power moonroof that I use all the time during warm weather. Plenty of storage space, but not too big of a car. The gas mileage could be a little better, but at about 16-17.5 mpg (depending on driving types) I guess its not too far off of any other large car. It has the power needed when its needed!! Used the hitch to pull 2 cars out of ditches last year, SmartTrack works great without any buttons to push as well! Recommend this vehicle!!

  hood issues - 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Kelly Orlaska - August 29 - 3:33 pm

  We recently bought a used 2004 AWD Bravada and loved it the moment we saw it. After we had it for about 2 weeks it started making squeaking sounds from under the hood. After taking it back to the dealership, they told us they couldnt find anything wrong with it. After we took them for a ride so they could hear the sounds they looked the problem up on the internet, to find it had something to do with a loose hood latch. They supposedly "fixed it" but the problem persists. We dont know how to go about fixing it even if we could. The AWD light also comes on often but goes away.

  A midsize SUV with a small foot print - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By johdavl - July 3 - 10:00 am

  I originally was looking for a Tahoe or Yukon size vehicle, but gas mileage and garage size played heavily into the equation. I found a 2002 Bravada with every option (sunroof instead of LCD TV). The gas mileage (20-22 on the highway) is far better than a Tahoe would ever be and it tows boats very well. I pulled a Ski Natique a couple hundred miles and got 15-16 mpg. Thats about what a Tahoe would do without a boat in tow and the Bravada fits in my garage!!

  Take care of stuff and it will last - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By I love GM! - June 26 - 2:00 am

  I am not sure why people are writing bad reviews on this vehicle. I bought my 2000 Bravada in 06 with 120,000 miles on it. the truck was very well taken care of and in good shape. The only thing I have had to do to it was replace the fuel pump. I am currently at almost 140,000 miles and still running strong with no problems. I am a firm believer that if you take care of something it will last. Maybe they bought one that was not properly maintained or really dont know how to take care of a vehicle. There is more to it than just changing the oil. So in closing, I have loved my Bravada. Kind of a poor mans Escalade.

  Headache - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Cindy - June 17 - 11:03 pm

  I go through wheel bearings every year on this. The gas gauge has not worked since it had 65,000 miles. At 70,000 miles the door hinges needed replaced over $500 for that. Now at 94,000 miles the 4 wheel drive is not working. This vehicle has cost me nothing but money. I would not recommend it at all. Numerous other small things has gone wrong with it. and i keep it well maintained and i still have nothing but problems with it.

  Bravada After a Car Wreck - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By cameronlerback235 - June 11 - 3:33 pm

  I love my Bravada. It is a nice vehicle, but it has its drawbacks because when I got in my car accident it started having problems and it wouldnt start sometimes. I had to replace my computer in the vehicle and now it runs fine. I am getting ready to replace my shocks and tires, that way it will ride a lot nicer but it is real quiet and I can barely hear the engine when driving or accelerating. It has a nice 4.3L V6 engine and it has enough torque but I wouldnt mind more and maybe a better sound system.

  My favorite vehicle... - 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By burnsrose - June 6 - 2:00 am

  I love my Bravada. I have a 98 with almost 100,000 miles on it and have only had oil changes and standard maintenance. It has been extremely reliable. Very comfortable ride. Good size for carrying bicycles, skis, etc. I am thinking about replacing it and if I do, it will be with another Bravada.

  Bought it old - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By J R - May 9 - 2:00 am

  We purchased this vehicle from a Dealer who knew it had issues. Typical is the Dex cool issue which used to eat up radiator and heater cores. Weve a great mechanic and had to spend $2000 improving the vehicle but it now appears in great shape. You MUST change all the fluids periodically despite manufacturer recommendations. Expect to clean the injector manifold at about 75,000 and replace the intake manifold gasket. They will typically leak about then.
