  1999 - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By KatyHorn - February 25 - 10:00 am

  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 My Favorite - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Tekascooter - October 24 - 11:23 am

  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.

  A Great Buy - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By reade4fl - October 18 - 11:16 am

  I bought this mini-van new in Aug. 1999. I was very lucky to have a great salesperson who guided me to this vehicle. Instead of having a drivers side electrical seat, he mentioned he had a different Shilloute available. It was Great. Three passanger middle seat and three in back. Towing package, and rear audio and air, heat controls. My wife and I loved the space and the room for our family. Also towing pkg. included a self leveling rear shocks which were great, but, the best is that you can use the air compressor to fill up almost anything including your own tires if needed. Also our neighbor who is a Porshe salesman meentioned how all of his mechanics swore by the 3.4L engine of GM.

  I have owned this van for almost 4 years. During that time the power sliding door stopped working, the drivers side power window does not work properly. The passenger side seat belt has been replaced twice because it keeps shredding. We no longer have interior lights because of an electrical problem, which the dealership says is not their problem.

  Very Little Hassle - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By robamra - October 29 - 1:40 am

  I have had this vehicle now for seven years. I have had just regular wear problems with it. It has been to the shop only three times, and had no problems with motor or transmittion. A radio problem and and door problems, the were reasons. This is a great vehicle for the family.

  This car rots! - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By Furious - March 2 - 8:16 am

  Bought the car. Was thrilled. Two weeks later the transmission failed - got replaced - then the alignment was never right - replaced tires every year; breaks too - tranny replaced three more times - two engines - alternator gone twice - electrical failed in year 4 - rail for driver sliding door broke year 5 - leather is so thin on seats, metal seat cushion supports showing year 7. With some cars you can say you got two cars for the price of one theyre so good. With this stinking car we had to pay for two cars (repairs) but only got to take one - broken one - home. Right now its in Baltimore MD - broken down - the trany went again - we live in N. Carolina. Were not fixing it again!

  Silhouette Premiere - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By berry - October 13 - 10:00 am

  Very good and reliable vehicle. Great for those long family trips. Has plenty of room and is very comfortable for children and adults alike. The entertainment system helps calm your nerves by preoccupying the children.

  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!

  Not Pleased - 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  By kds - July 12 - 10:33 pm

  This piece of junk is the last GM product that will ever darken my driveway. I have 39,000 miles on my Oldsmobile Silhouette and just outside of the 3-year waranty period it dropped the transmission. After doing some research I found that this was a fairly common problem caused by a known defect in one of the solenoids in the transmission. GM provided no assistance and it cost me $3,500 to get repaired. Run dont walk from this thing.
