1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3dr Minivan
Bought Van in 1991 when I had 3
teenagers at home. Teens are gone but
I still have my Van. Every time I
visit the dealership to look at new
cars, I come back with my Van. Trips to
S.C.,Ky., Ind., D.C. and twice to
Chicago since last oil change and did
not use a drop of oil.

1992 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3dr Minivan
My 1992 Oldsmobile Silhouette has been a very good vehicle. It has great handling, a smooth ride, cargo flexibility and good fuel economy. Mechanically it runs great. however, it is on its 4th water pump, third radiator and I don't know why. It does have 176,000 miles on it now, things are wearing out right and left but engine keeps running well. All of the door handles have been … repalced because they were poorly made. Also, the seat belts have also been replaced, who has to replace seatbelts and door handles? I never have in any other vehicle That I have owned. Replacing the starter is one of the hardest repairs I have done. Others I could not even attempt, like the intake manifold gasket. With the long nose, shouldn't there be more room under the hood to reach and repair?
Great unique confortable ride

1992 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3dr Minivan
Bought the vehicle in 2009 with 173k miles for 500$ and it was one of the best 500$ i ever spend. Today i passed 200k miles without any major repairs and ones i had were cheap. I have optional 3.8 3800 engine, leather interior and all options it could get in 1992. This is so tough that it even survived a 2011 hurricane Irene and got flooder above the seat level and whole engine was … under water. After draining water from oil and flushing transmission it started right away and runs till today. My two little girls love it so much and love driving with me. I have another 2004 Silhouette but my kids prefer the older one because visibility is better.
Best minivan

This is one of the best vehicles I have
ever owned in my 35 years of driving!
We were so impressed with it that when
we went to buy my wife another car we
bought a '98 Silhouette. I hope it's
even half as good as my '91.
