  This car is a treasure! - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By voodoolilly - December 13 - 7:00 pm

  I loved my Town N Country but It kept having mechanical issues. Its style was what drew me. Recently I purchased a silluette and have found all the features love in the TnC without mechanical problems.

  Solid Family Hauler - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Childs Van - November 10 - 5:50 pm

  We’ve been very happy with this van. For a family of four plus a dog, we have always had enough room for our stuff – even a canoe! Mechanically, the vehicle has been pretty consistent. Only major repair was a transmission rebuild at 60,000 miles that was covered under warranty. Now at 80,000 miles, she burns a little oil, but otherwise runs great and considered reliable. Recent 700 mile trips have proved uneventful. The interior has held up very well, the DVD and audio is still great. We’ll plan to keep our “Happy Van” for another 2-3 years for those high- capacity needs and five-plus passenger shuttles.

  A great choice - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Weller - July 1 - 9:10 pm

  Very enjoyable to own and drive with around town mileage around 22 to 23 mpg, equal to or better than what we got with our previoys Oldsmobile LS sedan. Over the road we get about 28 to 29 mpg, about 2 mpg less than with our previous olds LS sedan, a 1997 model. We hope GM continues to produce this kind of a car for our next purchase with equal or hopefully even better gas economy!

  Love it - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Don W - May 29 - 10:00 am

  This is my 2nd minivan purchase. This one is very different from my previous van-Windstar. It drives like a car not like a van. I hated driving a van until we purchased the Silhouette. The comfort & spacious interior are 2nd to none.

  Definitely consider this van - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By hawk27 - April 27 - 2:00 am

  This has been a very impressive vehicle. The ride is excellent, and the fit and finish are exceptional. We drove Honda, Toyota, Ford, and Chrysler, and this one had better acceleration and handled well both on the highway and around town. The seats are confortable and there is ample room inside for the family and friends. This van is also reliable, despite many hard miles on short trips.

  Initially skeptical - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By bullet - March 28 - 10:00 am

  Upon purchasing the Olds I began to get sweaty palms thinking that I was going to have quality problems. Most reviews had the Honda or Chrysler as the van to purchase and also the common public opinion that Japanese imports are made better. However I just liked the look and ride of the Olds. And I have not been dissappointed in anyway. This van has been a superior vehicle in everyway.

  Pleasant ride - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By AZmutants - March 24 - 2:00 am

  Weve had this minivan for about 3 years now and have had only one minor problem with a sticking brake. Otherwise, no other warranty work required. It rides smooth and has nice acceleration for a minivan. Definitely more spacious than many of the other brands.

  Great Van - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Mark Hart - March 4 - 10:00 am

  Have owned this van for over 2 years. No problems at all, except for automatic sliding door that was re- called and fix promptly by dealer. Good gas mileage for a large vehicle. I would buy another. Its a shame GM is dropping the OLDS nameplate.

  2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By vanowner - February 13 - 10:23 pm

  Besdies the usual, I transport 6-7 adults with luggage 4-6 times a year so rear seat headroom is very important to me. The 24 mpg that I have been getting has been excellent for the size of the vehicle. My costs were only wear and tear and recommended maintenance, except for an intake gasket related to the cooling system that apparently is a weak feature in GM cars. Replacing that cost $1,000 when I was out of town on a trip. This has been a very comfortable, efficient, reliable road vehicle.
