  Very Pleased - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Mark 1 - September 24 - 10:00 am

  I drove from Indianapolis to Philadelphia easily on 1 tank of gas (33 mpg). When I have it washed and waxed, it is an eye catcher (All black w/ gold package). Very comfortable to drive.

  2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette Premier - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette

  You will not find a nicer interior in a minivan. It is very similar to a Cadillac inside. It was voted the 2001 Truck/SUV interior of the year. The DVD entertainment system is EXCELLENT. It has the new 16X9 format screen, infrared wireless headsets with two channels. This unit is nicely intergrated into the vans audio system. I was also impressed that the third row bench was leather not plasic covered like other brands.

  The best car I have ever owned - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By MMman2 - July 26 - 4:43 am

  I bought this van in year 2000 and its been a very good ever since then. I used it for my big family of 6 kids, and now they are not here any more and now just have 3 kids. It was very good on road trips and daily communicating, it got pretty good gas mileage also. Had to buy another motor for it but it now has over 250,000 miles on it. However, this car is not safe at all. But It has been a good van and the best car i have ever owned.

  Best Cost of ownership - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By dans - June 17 - 2:00 am

  A very nice minivan for the money. Hard to find any better comfort in this class. Best of all the van is fully loaded.

  A great value - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By drmiller - April 17 - 2:00 am

  I now have 35000 miles on my 2002 GLS. Never have had a problem. Gas mileage over city and highway has averaged 21.5 mpg over the entire life. There is nothing that I dont like about the vehicle. All that and a discounted price because they are discontinuing the brand. A great value in my book.

  OK with some problems - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By finner - April 7 - 3:10 pm

  Quirks- mismatching paint from steel to plastic. Front passenger wheel fell off at 65000km. Heated driver seat keeps failing. Poorly installed outside trim. Three recalls on powerdoor. Fog lights dont last. Rear door inside handle failure. Coolant loss -- auxilliary heat pump was culprit at first, now? Driver side power window does not go up straight. Rear window wiper stops intermittently. EGR valve rusted.

  Loser - 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By vinesman - March 19 - 2:00 am

  We had high hopes for our Premiere, having had GM pull us out of our former Chevy Venture lease. It has been a reliability nightmare. The ventilation system does not deliver the same temp of air between the front and back (almost 25 degree diff). GM master techs cannot correct it. The alternator has died four times, and still the vehicle has issues. We also have a 2 inch pile of service invoices for over two dozen nickel and dime repairs. At first, we thought we had the perfect minivan loaded at the right price. Buyer beware - Olds phaseout plays appears to be impacting quality. Bottom line - look elsewhere.
