  Good, could be better - 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Matt - January 10 - 3:00 am

  I have owned this vehicle for a year now and I like it, a lot! The truck rides very nice and handles well, the interior fit and finish is typical GM business, bad. Doors squeak over rough pavement. I really like the front seats, extremely comfy. Power is decent and I average 18 mpg in town. The transmission shifts smoothly. So far I have 102000 miles on it and I love the way it feels. Not as off road ready as I like, and interior quality is poor, but overall, very good buy. You wont be dissappointed.

  99 Trouble~ - 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By 99Trouble - December 26 - 12:53 am

  I also had trouble with the AWD chatter..fortunately the dealer replaced the fluid for free (KMX). The brakes and rotors wore prematurely and the shocks are inadequate. Very comfortable inside though. Tows my boat nicely. Would like to see Big Threes quality improve. Next SUV will be a QX4...Ive learned my lesson!

  so so - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Rylee - December 4 - 10:00 am

  I have wo main issues with this Bravada: 1)The turning radius is quite large for a smaller suv. Dont like it. 2) The exterior desiegn with all the molded rounded corners make washing it difficult. It is always a 2 time wash over. On the flip side, the interior is very comfortable, easy to reach for us shorter people and has a good sound system. Wish resale was better!! need to sell and hard to a find buyer, and trade in is terrible.

  Best SUV Ive owned!! - 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Kevin Livingston - November 12 - 8:00 am

  I have very much enjoyed the "luxury-style" ride and comfort even on a long ride. This is my second SUV (first a 97 Blazer) and Ive noticed it does not have the rolling effect on turns and curves, very nice! Pleasure to drive, easy steering, good response to the gas pedal, great sound system (cassette and CD). I like the wood appoitments in the console, all options are within easy reach and practically placed. Drink cup holders a little small.

  !@#$%^&* - 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By D. Olander - October 29 - 2:00 am

  This has been a TOTAL LEMON since day one. DONT BUY ONE. Thank God I bought the extended warranty. That has paid over $7000 in work in 2 years. Now I am buying a camry, cause I want a reliable car.

  Comfortable, somewhat reliable. - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By john_alba - October 28 - 1:51 pm

  My mom got this car at about 75K. Off the bat, the rear air compressor didnt work and it sagged, so we switched to regular shocks. At about 100k the Engine coils started messing up, have had to change 3 so far from the 6 i have to change since apparently they dont last very long. I have since gotten this car now that I left for college about a Year ago. The A/C doesnt work on it anymore now, it shakes every time i turn on the A/C and sometimes the engine even turns on. Bad compressor. The car currently has an issue that when it very cold in the mornings it will give a "reduced engine power" light and a check engine light. Recently i have noticed the engine is not that good of quality.

  great suv - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By glb637 - October 28 - 10:00 am

  This SUV is a pretty good unit. I would hope that GM would write the owners manual and then bring one of the cars into the shop and have the engineers actually see if the owners manual has been correctly written. When you find so many errors in the owners manual you start worrying about the engine, transmission and anything else complicated.

  Peice Of Crap - 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By bravadahtr - October 23 - 7:20 pm

  I hate this car! I have had so many problems..... Transfer case motor went 3x, brought it back to dealer, turn signal didnt work. Bad ground, The front differential seized up and stopped me dead in the road. Had to flatbed it back to the dealer.The replacement costed $2,000. Sway bar links went bad in the front and back.replaced the back ones. Fronts still need to be replaced. The cam shaft positioning sensor went bad making the check engine light come on.That needed to be replaced along with two tires, tie rod end, and a thermostat housing to pass inspect. $600 for that. Now the trans. is slipping, pass wheel bearing going bad, front breaks are bad, and theres a strange rattle underneath.

  about the air bags - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By fladad - October 4 - 2:13 pm

  I am writing about the rear air suspension air bags. Just replaced mine at 91000 miles. Dealer wanted $744 not incl compressor. I had a truck shop that specializes in raising suspensions and custom jobs install them for $125..Now my Bravada doesnt hav sagging rear end anymore!

  luv the Olds - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By C Tivey - September 28 - 10:00 am

  great handling, smooth power, tight body, good looks very usuable space, well thought out vehicle! I know its a jazzed up Blazer, but has more class and looks and is that much differant with smarttrac to boot. Great family vehicle without getting a monster suv.
