  Last GM I Will Own - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Sal - August 14 - 2:50 pm

  I bought my Oldsmobile Silhouette new in 01. It needed a new transmission in 04 at 37,000 miles. GM covered all of the costs. Then my van began having electrical problems in 05 which still are not completely resolved. Also, it has at least one recall every 18-24 months. My other vehicle is an Acura bought new in 01. It has only been in the shop for oil changes, with twice as many miles. Detroit still cant get it right. I was considering Cadillac, I must be crazy.

  Definitely consider this van - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette

  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.

  Pleasant ride - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette

  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.

  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.

  New Trans Every 3500? - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By bluetwinkie - February 1 - 3:00 pm

  I didnt have this car at 3500 miles when others lost transmissions, but I have had it at 60k (lost again). Now I hear I need to fix it again (jarring gears). I included traction control problems last time. I did not run it hard (I drive like grandma on purpose) but it did not solve this $4000 later. It runs quiet and smooth sometimes, but I cant put off a transmission repair for complications failure would have - seen elsewhere. It was in the shop a long time despite being partially covered by a plan and monitored for that. They damaged some other features while fixing it at an approved GM dealership (i.e. driver seat warmer).
