  Great if only it was reliable - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By jkane - March 21 - 10:00 am

  have my bravada nine months, three times had vehicle towed to dealership after engine and all power lost while driving along. FIRST, change wheel-speed sensor; SECOND, gave me new engine; THIRD, told me could not find anything wrong;. Next stop, Trade-in unless Oldsmobile/GM can rectify my problem

  Perform maintenance and it will be fine - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By slik056 - February 22 - 9:00 pm

  Vehicle drives nice, some interior creaks from the back when off-roading. Purchased used with 66,000 miles, still running great. Maintain these like the owners manual says and it should last you a long time. You need to change transmission fluid at least every 50k miles, as stated in the manual. You also need to have the chassis greased every 10k or so to prevent front end repairs (balljoints, steering joints, etc.). Most people ignore the maintenance schedule, then complain when things break. Every GM vehicle I have owned has had over 200k and ran fine when I sold them, proper care of vehicles makes all the difference. Read and follow maintenance schedules!

  An overall excellent SUV - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By River Ratster - February 8 - 2:00 am

  A very attractively designed vehicle. The overall comfort and ride is vastly improved over the mid-1990s GM SUVs of which I owned one. My experience on reliability for this vehicle has been excellent. The selection of options at time of purchase, in my opinion, was more flexible and superior to many of the competing foreign makes. It is unfortunate that the Oldsmobile division of GM is being discontinued. I recently purchased a new 2004 Bravada.

  Helluva truck - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Bravada Man - January 9 - 10:00 am

  I bought this truck used in 2000 and its only hit the mechanic twice. Once for brakes and calipers and the other for a sluggishness that was attributed to dirty fuel injectors (fixed with a $27 chemical that goes in the fuel tank). This car is my families only one and we love it. It has treated us great and its like driving a luxury car. Get one while you still can.

  super car - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By john C - January 7 - 5:06 am

  this is my first SUV, it is awsome to drive although i quickly found out how much Gas an SUV will run through. the only problems are the gas and the ride. the ride is smooth and awsome, although on longer trips i soon get annoyed by the slight sway of the vehicle. any pothole, bump, or crack in the road causes the car to sway mildly. the wind roar isnt any thing to brag about either. as for exterior it is good, just like a trailblazer which i love. the headlights are ugly but it doesnt matter to me. i love this car, it is luxurious yet competitive. great car.

  Terrific Used Car Purchase! Really Impressed! - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By keltam2 - November 8 - 1:44 pm

  I bought my 2000 Bravada used in the winter of 2008 with 65,000 miles, and was terrified about all the bad reviews Id read. Luckily this has been one of the most reliable cars Ive ever owned - I replaced the ABS on one of the wheels a few weeks ago. Other than that, its just been routine maintenance! My recommendation - try one out for yourself. I think it all depends on the vehicle. Mine has been terrific to drive - in snow and rain, and has cargo space like crazy! Wish it got better gas mileage but I cant think of any other complaints! Its such a fun car to drive and own!
