'03 Olds Bravada
After 27,000 miles the vehicle has no pick-up, engine races when you accelerate. The A/C has failed multiple times - but only when Ambient is greater 85 degrees. The rear window wiper rarely touches the glass. The windshield wiper malfunctioned dispensing a galln of fluid on the road while the vehicle was in motion... don't get this or it's cousin the trailblazer.
Best Luxury SUV Ever
We bought our 04' Bravada new in 2004 for approx. $37,000. We test drove many vehicles such as the Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, BMW x5, and Acura MDX. This car blew the competition away; The Bravada is quiet and has a very smooth ride, power folding mirrors, DVD player, voice activated everything, and just looks like a luxury vehicle. It is such a shame that GM no longer makes the Oldsmobile division anymore, however, I highly recommend the Bravada to anyone looking for a mid-size luxury SUV.
DJ's Olds
This UTE is everything I was looking for. Comparable in drivability and comfort to the Lexus, BMW, and Mercurys. Plenty of horses and a smooth ride. Interestingly enough, prices haven't dropped much yet, even though the Olds line has been announced as being in its last model year. Perhaps the reason is that demand is still exceeding supply. Glad I stayed American and bought the Olds....almost went with Lexus, but in the end, the Olds fit me best.
Avoid the Bravda
The vehicle has a number of issues: a. not "tight" b. the reliability of the vehicle in terms of windows, seats, door locks, is not good. c. transmission is not smooth d. the AWD seems to make a grinding noise when turning sharply e. mileage was tauted as good for an SUV. My prior Jeep with an 8 cyl. got better all around mileage. f. in spite of claims, the straight 6 does not have the speed of the Jeep 8. g. despite the claims, the engine does not have the towing power of the Jeep 8. h. the AC has malfunctioned three times... just won't cool. Then it reverts to cooling again before it reaches the dealer for a fix.
Great Car
This car is great. Has everything at your finger tips and. If only all cars could look like this. Great car and so comfortable.
