  Great Van, but Interior Not Dependable - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Todd - January 9 - 8:26 pm

  I bought this van with 12 miles on it and have put over 126,000 on it. There has NEVER been a mechanical failure, but it has had several problems with interior things. The power door had to be repaired three times, power windows twice, power door locks three times. Its gas mileage is outstanding, averaging 25 mpg. This van provides great comfort. Overall I am very pleased with it.

  The cadillac of minivans - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Lovin it so far. - December 27 - 2:50 am

  My wife and I bought this minivan to help with our problem of fitting too many kids into our old autos. For a minivan it has some punch, gets comparably great gas mileage, and our minivan though it has 111,000 miles rides as smooth as the day it was bought i suspect. The interior was well thought out though, I find that the cup holders are in some odd places. all in all pretty happy with our purchase. 3600 out the door at the local dealership with a tank full of gas and an oil change.

  Love This Van So Far! - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By gspot - December 24 - 10:00 am

  I bought this van 2 months ago used and think it rocks. I have a 1999 premiere edition. The only problem that I had when it was bought was the auxiliary inputs are not working for the TV, but the VCP works good. Unfortunately, it costs up to $500.00 to repair those inputs. The kids keep very quiet on long trips due to the TV/VCP. We have already driven to California from Washington and back without any issues. The ride is very smooth. Im not fond of the gas milage of about 20mpg, however you cant expect much more out of a minivan.

  After 7 years - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By NPiper - April 16 - 11:16 pm

  After having this van for 7 years, it has been a great van. However, now everything is starting to go - one thing at a time. Its nickle and diming me to death now. Short term, great auto - long term - dont think Id by another one. The middle bucket seats are great for road trips. The back bench seat isnt that comfy, but we are never back there anyway. The back has lots of room.

  Poor transmission - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Shera - January 31 - 10:00 am

  My Silhouette has been great until at 31000 miles my transmission died. It was in the garage 6 times prior to it dying and is still not fixed!! Im not too impressed with oldsmobile or General Motors.

  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.
