What’s new
Underpowered minivan with lots of standard equipment. 3.1-liter V6 offers a measly 120 horsepower.

Not too bad for 1990

1990 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3dr Minivan
Only problems we had were the alternator -- replaced twice, and the black roof paint -- dealer repainted entire roof under warranty. And the expansive dash warped once, but that was replaced under warranty.
Fairly fun to drive due to space-ship like styling, especially if you have a silver one. Good gas mileage.
i like this vehicle

1990 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3dr Minivan
I had been considering another used
mini van(having switched from former
mini-van to smaller vehcile)and when I
saw this one and briefly drove it I
decided to buy(albeit it had high
mileage-appeared to have been well-
maintained),and if it needed repairs I
would rebuild as needed for
safety,dependability,and practicality
and comfort;I have not been
disappointed and … will continue to enjoy
if noting catastrophic happens to the
vehcile which continues to be one of
the most liked vehicle of my
experience. I have always had a
favorable opinion of Oldsmobiles,and
this one has also pleased me.
super fantasic
