  A Living Room on Wheels - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By gnlhall - April 25 - 2:00 am

  What a great family car. We use our Silhouette for many long trips and it cant be beat. We enjoy the DVD system, CD Changer, great Captains Chairs and the abundance of room. Oh yeah, we dont need to stop much for gas as we routinely get 24-25 mpg on the hwy which gets us close to 600 miles on a tank of gas. A winner!

  Fantastic Family Van - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Karen V - April 19 - 2:00 am

  We bought the Olds Silhoutte Premiere new in 4/99 and it now has 65k on it. We have never had a single mechanical problem! Has been a marvelous & comfortable vehicle for daily use, as well as for long trips. Wed buy one again in a heartbeat. Our teens have loved it also. My previous car was a Mercedes 300SD and I was reluctant to get the van, but it has been great.

  Good Choice - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By hark - February 15 - 2:00 am

  This is a very flexible vehicle-with the flip and fold seats. The powertrain is responsive and gets good mileage when compared to other makes. I have only had minor warranty work done. (broken cupholder, tailgate strap)

  3rd Van, 1st SIlhouette - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By JKonrad - February 12 - 2:00 am

  While my Grand Voyager was in the shop for repairs I drove my friends `99 Silhouette and was pleasantly surprised how well it handled. I was looking for a new used vehicle and got lucky to find an Oldsmobile Silhouette 2003.

  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.

  Old Reliable - 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By js - December 15 - 9:20 am

  Ive been hard on this car; regular oil changes, but thats it. At 185,000, I can say it has never not started, even though we live in the Midwest with harsh winters and its not always garage-kept. It only died one time when the alternator went out at 175,000 miles, and I had a full days warning with the battery light flashing, so I was pulling into the driveway when it died. The interior is very comfortable and well-designed. It has very low highway noise. I trust it and would definitely buy another one.

  Best vehicle I ever owned - 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Deloris Kotowske - November 23 - 10:00 am

  Love my Olds Silhouette and would buy another one if they were still making them. I tell everyone how absolutely wonderful this vehicle is. Economical on gas, comfortable for traveling and my grandkids love riding in it. Easy to get into and out of which is an especially nice feature for older folks and those with certain back problems. No tugging to pull yourself up and out of the seat to exit the vehicle. Plus ease of motion to get into the vehicle. What a shame this awesome vehicle has been dis- continued. I have about 128,00 miles with nominal repairs. What a blessing financially that is in this day and age with repair bills soaring out of site. Fantastic mode of transportation.
