  • One of the Best Vehicles Ive Owned - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
    By -

    Bought our 2000 used in 2010 with over 150,000 miles on it. Has made several long, out of state trips and is our primary in town ride. Ive replaced battery, starter, idle control valve, belt and tensioner, tailgate lift cylinders, and rear air shocks. Took to dealer for a bad crank speed sensor wiring harness - $600 total repair. All reasonable repairs for a vehicle this age. Love the space and seats. Excellent fuel economy. Nice driver. Solid overall construction. Has been a reliable and very good van for hauling kids to ball games, moving music equipment, and everything else!

  • Not a Toyota, But not Bad - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
    By -

    Initially disappointed w/interior build quality and materials. Things fell off and we didnt know where they came from (read, VERY plastic interior). Radio has been replaced 3 times, right door speaker twice, driver side seat heater twice, and rear window washer has failed so many times I gave up on it. But... the dealer was terrific (Bush Olds/GMC, Lenoir NC) always ready with a loaner and would pick up/drop off if necessary. Last van was Previa, better overall quality, but Olds is much more car-like and cheaper to repair.

    This van is the sharpest looking van on the road. Only compaliants are poor location of front drink holders and the fact that we have had to replace battery twice in less than 4 years.

  • Not Worth It - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
    By -

    My Oldsmobile Silhouette had constant electrical problems. GM would not stand behind its defective intake manifold gasket problem despite a service memo noting the design issue. Is is any wonder Olds went down and GM sales are poor.

  • Great Mini Van - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
    By -

    Van has a lot of room, and many features. It has 2 side sliding doors. The one on the passengers side opens by remotly by switch on key remote,or 2 panel switches in side of vechicle. I wish I would have paid for drivers side sliding door to open remotely too. Vehicle handles very well in the snow with traction guard. A radio,CD, Tape Player /with head phones so you dont have to listen to the kids music they have headphones in the back seat, and they can listen TapePlayer CD or Radio seperatly from you.You have to check this vechicle if you plan on buying a mini van. I am glad I did There are still too many standard features for me to list.

  • No problems so far - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
    By -

    This is the first American vehicle we have bought in a very long time due to past realiability issues. I have driven it on several 1,000 mile +, one-way trips, and have been pleased with the reliability so far.

  • Love our Olds! - 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette

    Nothing rides like an Oldsmobile! Smooth ride and lots of comfort. They do seem to be getting smaller tho. Second Olds van that we have had.

    i think it is a very great van and its reliable and affordable and it have a very nice ride and a nice interior and exterior and it will keep ya passengers in the back very occupied with the fold down movie screen and dvd player

  • Not My Favorite - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
    By -

    I bought my Oldsmobile Silhouette used with 81,000 miles on it. I didnt like the fact that it didnt have rear air but I had a new baby on the way and needed a van. The low traction system went out and cost me $1,200 to fix and now the transmission is starting to fail. This is all at 94,000 miles. The seatbelts are not car seat friendly and there isnt enough leg room for adults in the back. I like the power door and the fact that the rear seats come out easily and they are light, but I am getting reaty to trade it in on an Expedition. I would not buy this van again.
