Bought this Bravada used loaded with all the options except running boards, with 28K on the odometer. This is our 4th SUV and we couldn't be happier. I think the Bravadas' have a very classy look that makes them feel at home with higher prices SUV's. The gas mileage is average for this sized SUV.

My wife and I purchased this vehicle for peace of mind. We were so wrong. In 1 1/2 years of ownership our Bravada has spent over 100 documented days in the service shop. Here is a list of our problems. Doors racked, bad A arm, bad heated sets, air and heat not working, replaced throttle body, worn weatherstrip, hesitation, bucking, bad transfer case control module affecting the AWD, fading rubber trim, replaced brake pads and rotors at 20,000 mi. You name it, it has happened to this vehicle. I will never buy another GM vehicle. We took our case to court and won. Don't be afraid to go for it if you have problems.

The outside and interior of the Bravada is what sold me. However, from day one, there is a vibration as the car shifts into gear. The dealer could not duplicate the vibration. I live in snow country and my front bumper popped loose as I backed out of my driveway over approximately 6" of snow! This is an SUV and it cannot withstand normal winter driving! I am very disappointed and after owning the vehicle for four months, I am ready to trade. My AWD light came on, but the next day the mechanic said the AWD was in working order.

Really love this car. For an SUV, is very quick with plenty of power. Has a much better feel than other SUVs I tested and the two things that are superb on this car are the brakes and the very small turning radius. The brakes just grab real good and you can stop on a dime.

I have owned over 40 vehicles, including 3 Bravadas. This is absolutely the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I bought it used with 8K miles on it and drove it for a year. I had nothing but trouble with it from day one, when the fiberglass fan disintegrated and took out the radiator. Little did I realize that this was the just the start of a long and meaningful relationship with my GM service department. Fortunately my dealer thought we were seeing a little too much of each other and worked with me to make me a fair deal on a Buick Rendezvous (great vehicle). I can see why GM dumped the line.
