  • Reliability, Performance & Comfort - 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada
    By -

    I have owned my dark green Oldsmobile Bravada for 3 1/2 years. It has run flawlessly and is driven over 100 miles each day. I currently have 80k miles on the vehicle. I have an average fuel economy of 20.1 mi/gallon using 87 Ron fuel. This vehicle is secure and comfortable and will be tough to replace. I have used synthetic oil and performed all necessary routine maintenance including transakle and rear differential fluid changes, transmission service and brake fluid flush. The vehicle has the original brake oads and rotors.

  • Id LOVE it, but! - 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
    By -

    I really enjoy my Bravada, its luxurious, comfortable, quiet, and RED! I have auto start & the heating system, etc., is great here in Alaska. BUT....I have had a little rattle that 5 visits to the dealer have not cured, which is very frustrating. This has been there since the car was almost new- -and its only six months old now. VERY annoying and inconvenient. A car that costs this much should have NO vibrations, chirps, squeaks or rattles!

  • Bravada vrs Explorer - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
    By -

    Bought our 2002 in 12/01 for 29,000 even with no dlr fees..minus GM points of 2500 and then got the Zero financing for 3 yrs..So $26.5 with 0%..DO NOT pay over invoice and refuse the dealer fees! We have 5500 carefree miles now..Replaced a 96 explorer that we loved with 125,000 V-8 miles..but the Bravada has much smoother and Much quieter ride than the explorer..The 270hp eng has plenty of torque and acceleration..

  • Best Car Ive Owned - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
    By -

    My wife and I bought our 02 bravada in jan of 08. The truck had 47,000 and a sticker price of 15,000. Ive had the truck for two months now and I must say, it is the best vehicle we have ever owned. I love the heated seats, by far my favorite option. The wheels had to go, we replaced them with aftermarket 20" rims and tires. The sound system isnt bad. I do have one gripe though. The front bumper wiggles around like its loose. I took it to a diff dealership and they told me that was normal. But Im sure thats B. S. I wish it had a flip down dvd, as that would quiet the kids. I think that dvds were an option, I just dont have it. All in all, a great vehicle, much better than its sister trailblazer!

  • hood issues - 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
    By -

    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.

    well, i never really heard of a bravada till i went to the dealership then i discouverd it was machine waiting for me. as i stepped into the refined and spacious interior i felt like a little boy again. it had the features that i never knew exisited. when i took off with the bravada i notice that it was accelerating like my type r integra well at least it was close. this bravada had no defaults it is still on my driveway as soon as it gives problem it will be out tho. but with 23000 it is still going strong at 170kmph it pulss quick

  • Take care of stuff and it will last - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
    By -

    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.

  • Bravada After a Car Wreck - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
    By -

    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.

  • Bought it old - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
    By -

    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.

  • 50K + Buyer - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
    By -

    Bought car with 52,000 miles. Only problem was an oil filter line(cost ~$70). This is a poor GM design and they have since changed it. Runs great and is an absolute beast in the snow. I embarressed my roomate who owns a Jeep Cherokee during our "snow runs." Gas efficiency could be a little better. Nice amount of room, much more than the Cherokee. Looks great and feels good to drive.
