Review of 2002 /2WD Olds. Bravada 1-yr.
I have had my Olds 2002 Bravada for one year and have had no problems. The Bravada with taxes cost me about $35,000. dollars, has every thing except 4WD/, don't need it in Georgia. The ride is as good as any 4 door sedan made by GM. Its turning radius is super. I love the Engine, Quiet and will, give power when needed. The gas mileage is poor, with air on the best is 15--to 16 miles to the gallon in town. On the interstate, I - 75 the best mileage at 60---65 was 20 to 21. Steering is very quick the smallest movement of the steering wheel will make you over steer. All and all I give it a 9 on a 10 pt scale. Bob McElroy Macon, Ga.
The Best
My wife and I have really enjoyed this car. We bought used and did have a problem very early with AWD, but fixed under warranty, no further problems. Mirrors are screwy. Otherwise, a great car to drive. Very comfortable for long trips (wish mpg was better on hwy and town.) This is a large vehicle, yet handles very well and acceleration is far better than any SUV I have ever driven, yet ride is almost as comfortable as luxury sedans. GM's decision to end Olds line was based on misconceptions. Given this was Olds' last new design, they clearly still knew how to build a car. If GM wanted to cut a line, they should have considered Buick or Pontiac. If I could buy another, I would!

An overall excellent SUV
A very attractively designed vehicle. The overall comfort and ride is vastly improved over the mid-1990's GM SUV's of which I owned one. My experience on reliability for this vehicle has been excellent. The selection of options at time of purchase, in my opinion, was more flexible and superior to many of the competing foreign makes. It is unfortunate that the Oldsmobile division of GM is being discontinued. I recently purchased a new 2004 Bravada.
Don't drive this Bravada SUV in snow!
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.
Great One
Excellent vehicle, exceptionally comfortable on long trips. Not off roader but great on snow or ice.
