  Could have been designed better - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By NomoreGMs - July 11 - 10:00 am

  Bought this vehicle (for wife)used with 20k miles on it. Reportedly an off-lease vehicle. The vehicle is a gas hog. It gets slightly better mileage than my Quad-cab Doge Ram 1500 that weighs 4500 pounds. The Bravadas transmission gave out at 42000 miles. My wifes last GM had a transmission replaced at 30K miles and my last GMC Sierra had tranmission rebuilt at 37000 miles. The vehicle is underpowered. You have to floor-it to get out of your own way. With a little ingenuity, this car should have been GMs flagship. This car should have a V-8 rather than the 4.3 V-6. Climate control should have been digital - instead of knobs.

  Loaded Winter Beater - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Matt - January 27 - 7:10 pm

  Bought this truck with 150K for $3000. Didnt want anything this loaded but the price was right. The only thing I have done is change the tranny fluid/filter. Driver window just went out and the CD changer never worked. So far it has been great in the winter. I love how the AWD doesnt require any driver input. This can hold a lot of cargo. I once fit 35 large PCs in back. Interior is laid out nicely with the exception of the CD changer which eats up the console. There are plenty of squeaks and rattles but it is 9 years old with 153K miles. I get around 16MPG on dry pavement but mileage drops a bit when the AWD is being used a lot. The heated seats are a blessing in the cold PA winters.

  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.

  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.

  Decent For the Money - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Matt - July 13 - 6:53 am

  Paid $3000 for it with 150K miles. For the most part it has been good. I wasnt looking for a luxury vehicle for winter use but the price was right. So many bells and whistles that Im not used to. Engine is a little sluggish and the tranny has its quirks... fluid change helped. I get around 15MPG which isnt bad for this type of vehicle. AWD works seamlessly, no buttons or levers to worry about. I dont think I will ever get it stuck. I was able to fit around 35 large size computers from the early 90s in the back with the seats folded. I know sometimes Bravadas are troublesome, hopefully mine stays reliable. So far, the drivers window motor just died and the CD changer never worked.

  Get a Warranty - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Michael Wales - June 7 - 8:06 am

  I purchased my Oldsmobile Bravada in April of 2005, 2 months later it was completely immobile. Im finally getting it back now after a $2,000 transmission repair (at 85,000 miles). I love the vehicle, but there is a vast history of transmission problems - be sure to purchase a warranty.
