  Love my Bravada - 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Fred G. - August 17 - 10:06 am

  Purchased this vehicle new in 1998 and every year after it was rated worse and worse. Over the 7 years Ive had this car it has consistently performed flawlessly. Ive never had any problem. Its been a very versatile vehicle which I would highly recommend. Oh yeah, the traction system is great in ice, snow, and rain.

  2002 BRAVDA - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By BRIAN - July 7 - 6:50 pm

  THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SUPERB. ABSOLOUTELY NO DEFECTS HAVE BEEN FOUND SO FAR AND I AM QUITE PICKY. I CHOSE THE BARAVADA OVER THE ENVOY & TRAILBLAZER DUE TO ITS BETTER LOOKS, NICER SEATS, AIR SUSPENSION AND BETTER WARRANTY.

  Bravada number one - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By charlie roshon - June 27 - 12:40 pm

  I bought my 2000 bravada in 2008 with 89,000 miles on it. I never thought that I could love a vehicle so much. So much fun to drive. You feel cool driving it. Decently quiet automobile. A few squeaking interior parts but have not had one single problem with this vehicle. The gas Gage was broken when purchased. The doors sag a little on the driver and passenger side, but its 10 years + old. Give it a break. Gets through snow like a charm. Never been stuck. Even did a little mudding with no problems. Road noise is there but not unbearable. Plenty of cargo space. And the awd on mine jerks when I turn to sharp which is very anoying but mine is the only one Ive heard of that does it. Awesome truck

  Mixed Feelings - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By dane_1 - May 17 - 10:00 am

  We chose the Bravada 2002 for my wife mainly because of the seats - she had two back surgeries last year and the front seats suites her very well. We had been looking at SUVs from Mercedes Benz, Lexus, Ford, Toyota, etc. I was a little concerned about the quality (both external and internal) and reliability, however we havent had any major problems. I too would had liked the driving to be more like Toyota Highlander - more car like, but its a SUV of the old type - despite the well suited re-design for the 2002 model.

  Dads Work Horse - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By John Helmke - May 2 - 10:00 am

  Beats all three Cadillacs I drove before. In fact it feels more like a Cadillac than they did. I like the "command" seating position. My wife loves the heated seats. A year ago when my mother moved into a nursing home we loaded as much of her stuff into a 12 foot UHall trailer and made the 400 mile trip home without incident. My only "complaint" is the gas mileage with the out of control price rise. In the city I get 16 on the road 21 which is about what I expected and considering what I am getting well worth the price. But the $2.25/gallon gas is getting me. We are driving my wifes 04 Impala and getting 31.25 mpg without holding back on the horses. Another Impala is looking attractive.

  whats with that trans - 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By countrygirl - April 15 - 3:43 am

  i have had my Bravada for about two year..i bought it used. It now has 150,000 miles. Now my service engine light is on, and the car shops are saying my transmision is going out. It has been a great car, i love it and dont want to get rid of it, but the cost to replace the tranny is way to high for the value of the car. and it also leaks oil like crazy, inbetween oil changes i have to put in a quart or two just to keep the oil level at normal.and the cup holders are bad..my cups are always sticking to the rupper and are hard to get out and they are in a really bad place when you want to put your car in park..just saying...oh and for some reason my 4wd doesnt work?

  Best SUV EVERRRR - 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By jxmlt - March 12 - 11:53 pm

  This SUV is by far the best truck ever. Unlike some of the others on here I have not had to put lots of money in to the truck nor have I had to replace anything other than normal maintenance. Again some of the reviews that have been posted I would like to say to the commenters, Oldsmobile got bought out they still made Bravadas after they were bought out. This truck is not for everyone honestly. It is the luxury model of the Jimmy & Blazer, if you do not care for those trucks you will not love the Bravada either. If you take car of your car and dont beat it to crap you should not have any of these problems.

  Avoid the Bravda - 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Dennis Horner - March 7 - 10:00 am

  The vehicle has a number of issues: a. not "tight" b. the reliability of the vehicle in terms of windows, seats, door locks, is not good. c. transmission is not smooth d. the AWD seems to make a grinding noise when turning sharply e. mileage was tauted as good for an SUV. My prior Jeep with an 8 cyl. got better all around mileage. f. in spite of claims, the straight 6 does not have the speed of the Jeep 8. g. despite the claims, the engine does not have the towing power of the Jeep 8. h. the AC has malfunctioned three times... just wont cool. Then it reverts to cooling again before it reaches the dealer for a fix.
