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.

complained about metallic rattle left front quarter. got shop forman to ride with me-heard it and gave it to suspension guy and fixed it. repairman said it was a front sway bar noise. they replaced both front stabilizer links and noise is gone. might hold on to the olds until something else goes wrong. i've had a number of little things go wrong. the dealer always fixes it for free but i'm getting tired of taking it in.

I actually bought the vehicle in June of 02 and sold it in October of 03. It has a quirky problem, if the operator does a certain combination of movements with the key in the ignition it will trigger the theft deterrent system and leave you sitting there. It happened to me three times, three times I had to have it towed, and three times Onstar couldnt figure out what it was. I spoke to someone who had the same problem with the GMC Envoy.

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.
