  Ellegant - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Clete - July 13 - 10:00 am

  Good handling, smooth ride, and great fuel mileage. Engine power very adequate, but too noisy upon acceleration. Exterior and interior styling are tops.

  Trouble Free - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By HARK - July 13 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Silhouette. I had a 2000 that only had some minor problems in its 30,000 miles.(cupholder, pull strap) I now have 6000 miles on my 2002, and there were no adjustments or problems with the vehicle. It stickered for just under 29,000 and after the $3,500 rebate, $1,500 owner loyalty, $1,000 rebate instead of the 5/60 warranty, $850 GM card rebate, and the $2,500 discount, I paid less than $19,500.

  The best mini van on the road - 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By EILEEN - July 4 - 10:00 am

  I have had many Olds Silhouettes. They are the best mini vans around. I keep hoping that they will continue to be produced. GM should add the Silhouette to another line ie: Cadillac Mini Van. WHATEVER JUST KEEP MAKING IT!! They ride like a car not a truck like the other models.

  Class with Reliability! - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Tom - June 28 - 5:30 pm

  The 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette is an excellent van for the money. Its loaded with features and very reliable. I purchased mine with 44,000 miles on it and now have 67,000 miles. I have owned it for 14 months with no problems. If snow is in your area Id recommend the AWD version available in years 2002 - 2004. Our does not have AWD and that is the only option we wish we had. It gets respectable fuel mileage...23 miles per gallon overall with combined city/highway driving. We get 29 mpg if we burn a full tank on the Interstate averaging 70 mph. This van has respectable handling, power and reliability. I would recommend it over the Pontiac Montana.........the Silhoutte is a much classier vehicle on the inside and outside. Consider a Silhouette if youre looking for a good used family van.

  Solid - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By whatsup - June 24 - 1:13 am

  Pleasantly surprised by the Silhouette. Nothing wrong just like our 99. Luxurious unlike the Odyssey. Many features unavailable on the Honda.

  Very good, but not quite a 10 - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Den - June 14 - 3:56 pm

  Lots of Body roll, and weak gripping tires even at moderate speeds in turns. (Yes I know its a minivan, but even so, its sub-standard. The drivers seat needs to go. A "jackhammer" noise from the engine compartment sounds after warmup on occasion with the heating defroster (front) turned on. Did this like clockwork from new to time of recent service. Took it to dealer (they insist they did nothing to "fix" the problem) problem went away after they had it in the shop for 6 hours. I wonder if they get Factory points to avoid claims that can lead to lemon law claims? Hmmm. Center Console not being standard is a real "RIP-OFF". Would I buy this vehicle again? No. Id buy the Chrysler.

  Sorry It Is Discontinued - 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Hoffmann - May 28 - 10:00 am

  Our 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouete is our fifth one. We have always loved it. We have taken previous models on cross county trips with elderly parents in their mid 80s. With the second row captains sets, not one of us ever suffered a backache. The long-trip mileage is actually very good for a vehicle this size, fully loaded with passengers,luggage and the air conditioning running -- over 27 mpg.

  Great Van - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By brelia - April 25 - 10:00 am

  Ive loved it from the start. My kids love the LCD player and game hook-ups. Great for trips! Rides like a car, handles great and very roomy. No major problems at all. Would buy one again!

  Love our Silhoutte - 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By GMBonnett - March 8 - 2:00 am

  We have really like our Silhoutte. We have had 2 months now and are very happy with the many options. Better gas mileage than I imagined

  Third unit of this series - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By compasst - February 7 - 10:00 am

  This is my third GM minivan, second Silhouette. If my satisfaction continues at this level, Im in line for a fourth. I miss the plastic body, but the new features and level of comfort are superb. Much improved over my 92 model. A bit short on power for towing, and mileage drops to high teens with a trailer, but without the trailer I am getting high twenties MPG.
