  Great truck - 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By boot185 - March 18 - 10:34 am

  I love my bravada. I have added helper springs and air shocks extra tans cooler as I use it to pull camper and trailers for 50% of the time. Nice ride when I have the air low on the shocks. I have plenty of power with the 4.3L HO. I do wish it had a 4 low option. AWD is the best and love it. The rear window rattles due to the design of it but not loud. I have a 4 inch lift with allows me to drive in up to 22 inches of heavy pack snow before the wheels will even spin. Next winter hoping to add a plow on it. I use it as a work horse and its a great one also good driver Mine also has the G80 axle option which is a dana 35 posi traction. Also makes a great family vehicle.

  Wonderful! - 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By vanillamynt blast - February 20 - 10:00 am

  We purchased our Bravada in June and have been utterly addicted ever since. It is wonderful; the build-quality issues all the magazines harp about are nowhere near as bad as they are made to sound. The SUV is very practical, luxurious, VERY powerful, has a wonderful Bose sound system, and the AWD is extremely useful. It drives nearly as well as our Aurora 4.0. Wonderfully done, Olds and GM!

  100K review - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By fladad - January 14 - 12:33 am

  Bought mine New in 02. Id give this an 11 on Comfort and Performance. Regularly drive this 120 miles for work and its a better ride than a Lexus. Acceleration is great and turning radius is tight. I am on the original brakes at 100k! Eight yrs in Florida sun and the ac is still going strong. Had to replace the air suspension bags in the rear. Buy parts online and find a truck specialty shop to install, its half the dealer cost. The eng is strong but has always been too loud. Had strange elec problems and replaced a box, think it was body control module. The depreciation is horrible, but this makes it a GREAT used car buy! Will keep this until 200k!

  2003 Bravada - 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By rrpr - December 15 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle steers and handles well, is quiet with a car-like ride, and fun to drive. There are lots of standard and optional features. Our choice was between a Bravada and a Rainier. The Buick dealership told us the only differences between the Bravada and the Rainier were the extra material to deaden noise, wood-trimmed metal door handles, Buick grill and optional V8 engine. The inside of the two vehicles looks the same. The Buick dealership told us the ride and driving abilities are the same, the parts are the same, and you can have the Bravada serviced at a Buick dealership. With all this in mind, we bought the better-priced Bravada.

  Unstoppable - 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Thai Mai Xhu - November 10 - 9:03 am

  My 99 Baravada has had zero problems since new. We have kept up maintanance on this vehicle, twice we have had the brakes done (we live in the mountains, and brakes get used hard), this engine is over 115,000, and still delivers 23+mpg in the flats, and 17-19 in mountains. Keep your air filter changed out! Dont put too heavy of oil in this vehicle. Change to autotrak11 transfer case lube, its blue, and solves some issues with tight turns (which I never experienced).
