  Like the van - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Douglas Schiff - June 19 - 10:00 am

  This is our second Silhouette and both have been trouble free. Cruises at 75 on the freeway and is very quiet. Seats come out quite easily for lots of storage room.

  love my olds van - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By powell - June 8 - 5:10 pm

  Except for problems with the rear wiper, we have not experienced any major repairs. Some of the interior trim is a little on the cheap side for the top of the line olds. But I love my van and hope it last for awhile

  Excellent Value - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By CCC Chicago - April 25 - 12:30 pm

  This was our second Silhouette. Our first was a 94 and it served our family well. After seven years it began to have a some minor issues and we traded for the 01 GLS. It has served us without any major problems or issues for 5 1/2 years now. It only has 55,000 miles. I cant speak highly enough on the reliability of this vehicle. I tow jet skis with it. Pile kids into it. Haul cargo in it. Move easily through the snow in it. Im one person who has loved my minivans over the past 13 years or so, but my next car will probably be some type of crossover. On the 01, I put on a new set of tires at about 45,000 miles and a new battery after 5 years. This has been an excellent family vehicle.

  My favorite mini van - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Fred Hegner - March 17 - 2:00 am

  This is the second Olds mini van we have owned. The first was a 1990 which was given to our son when it reached 135,000. By the way the 1990 now has about 150,000 and is still going strong. The 2002 has been improved in every way except the body pannels are not as ding or dent proof as were the plastic pannels on the 1990. The All Wheel Drive feature has proven to be worth the extra cost especially this winter.

  By scott s. - March 7 - 10:00 am

  like it alot, it rides and handles better then I throght it would. the dash and controls are easy to use. the standard features for the price can not beat the deal.I test drove the olds first, then all the rest of the minivans , went back to buy the olds.

  Need suv, dont want to sell Olds - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Jason - February 20 - 1:36 pm

  We bought our Silhouette with 67k on it and now have over 120k miles. I heard these vans were trouble when I bought it. All I can say is it has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I like everything about it except cupholders between the front seats which get stepped on then break. To date I have not had to to any repairs at all but have kept up on the preventative schedule. I tow a 3500 lb boat medium distances and this van tows great but lacks 4 wheel drive. The driver heated seat quit working though at 100k. I really need a 4x4 but I hate to see it go. A tip, I put a $1 bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the gas one time and the power increase was huge.

  GM Should Go Bankrupt! - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Bryan - February 3 - 6:23 pm

  This car was OK for a few months and then a long string of small failures started. Then recently the intake manifold gasket failed and almost destroyed the engine. GM has known about these bad gaskets for years and told no one. The service department secretary diagnosed my problem as soon as I walked in. The recall for the 3.4L engine would cost more than GM has in the bank, thats why they wont do it. I hope they never sell another vehicle!
