  Happy owner - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Carl - July 7 - 10:36 am

  Feel lucky and happy I bought my Bravada at a VERY GOOD PRICE 4 years ago. It needed brakes and tires when I bought it. Thats all Ive done to the car. Now the service light came on and dealer cant fix it after spending $1000. Runs great! Paint is better than newer cars on the road. Im amazed at all the extras it came with it, all power moon roof, driver seat windows mirrors and ALL WORKS!

  Good Vehicle for the $$$ - 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By castledevcon - June 6 - 10:00 am

  I own a 91 and a 98 Bravada. Both have been very reliable. You get a lot of vehicle for you dollar in comparison to many other SUVs. It rides better than most true SUVs and the AWD is great for inclimate weather.

  Review of 2002 /2WD Olds. Bravada 1-yr. - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Bobby McElroy - June 6 - 10:00 am

  I have had my Olds 2002 Bravada for one year and have had no problems. The Bravada with taxes cost me about $35,000. dollars, has every thing except 4WD/, dont need it in Georgia. The ride is as good as any 4 door sedan made by GM. Its turning radius is super. I love the Engine, Quiet and will, give power when needed. The gas mileage is poor, with air on the best is 15--to 16 miles to the gallon in town. On the interstate, I - 75 the best mileage at 60---65 was 20 to 21. Steering is very quick the smallest movement of the steering wheel will make you over steer. All and all I give it a 9 on a 10 pt scale. Bob McElroy Macon, Ga.

  Last one for me! - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By drmimller - April 29 - 10:00 am

  Im glad that Olds is going to stop making the Bravada soon. This is my third one and they keep getting worse. The 2002 has demonstrated the worst quality control during the build that I have ever experienced in a new vehicle. It started with a bad paint job, followed by a problem with the AWD system, then trim on the rear gate coming loose and replaced, followed by a moonroof air deflector that would not respond to repair and finally caused a total moonroof module replacement, and finally (to date!)replacement of front door power windows control unit replacement (wouldnt go all the way down).

  Very Pleased - 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Dr_DNA - April 6 - 10:00 am

  Weve been very pleased with everything except the gas milage- were lucky to get 11 mpg in town, 19 on the highway. We call it the car for dummys because it does everything for us, including turning on the wipers when it rains! It performs really well, and is the quietest SUV around. It has more than enough power, and is fun to drive. It even does well in the snow and ice and one doesnt have to hassel with putting it into 4WD. We werent big on buying American, but with a bumper-to-bumper 5 year warrenty, we decided that this was a much better buy than essentially the same SUV from GMC or Chevy (with only a 3 year warrenty).

  Worst car ever! - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Greg - April 6 - 7:53 am

  This has been the worst car Ive ever owned. Im finally getting rid of it and going back to foreign. I seem to have to get it to the shop every month for work. To date, I think Ive put about $6-7k into it to keep it running and it still wont run right. Wants to hesitate and die when I give it gas, and you cant floor it or it dies completely. GM should be ashamed for producing garbage like this.

  Great SUV - 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Priano Family - February 18 - 1:00 pm

  This has been a great vehicle! I bought it with 24,000 miles on it, and 3 1/2 years and 20,000 miles later, it has been an absolute joy to drive and own. I bought an extended warranty on it when I bought the vehicle, and havent had to use it much at all. The heated seats and driver memory are both very nice features. I love the sunroof. Theres plenty of room inside, and the Bravada is quite functional for hauling things. Its gas mileage isnt too great. But you cant beat the power from the Vortec V6 engine and who expects "good" gas mileage from an SUV anyway? Overall, I am very very satisfied.

  WOW! I Love This truck! - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Lizziebaby2k - February 4 - 4:20 pm

  I had to literally "break down" and buy another vehicle after my Blazer held up a Do Not Resuscitate sign after 14 years! I was offered SUCH a good deal on this Bravada I couldnt pass it up. Im SO glad I didnt! This is a beautiful vehicle inside and out. I am the second owner and it had 80,000 miles on it when I bought it. I have put 40,000 miles on it myself in one year and have only had minor issues. The rear wiper motor went about a week after I got it but the dealer was awesome and replaced it at no cost. The AC needs to be charged but that is to be expected. I did have to replace a headlight (VERY easy switch there!) and the right front wheel bearing but that is the only major issue I have had.

  Danny - 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Danny - December 11 - 6:56 pm

  I bought my Bravada used with 55K miles on it. I enjoyed driving it. My complaints concern problems with electric system, in that various warning lights come on for no reason, especially the "ck all wheel drive" light and the "check engine light". It is fine to drive in winter but, even with all wheel drive, I wish I had not bought it.
