Olds Van Fan
Scott C. Voelker, 05/14/2004
1994 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3dr Minivan
While the early design GM vans were
ahead of their time with aerodynamic
design, the rewards paid back in fuel
efficiency and road handling. After
10 years, I have experience no major
mechanical problems other than normal
wear. The van has transported soccer
babies, soccer kids and towed
lightweight trailers.

Solid van

1994 Oldsmobile Silhouette Special Edition 3dr Minivan
Bought the van brand new - after 9
years I have been very statisfied.
Zero mechanical problems - only thing
I have had to do was basic maintance
(tires, brakes, LOF etc). No
breakdowns vs. friends who had
Cavan's. The plastic / composite body
is great for Western NY winters where
Rock Salt destroys car bodies. This
car still looks great.
The dustbuster look isn't for … everyone
but the areodynamics work well to
provide pretty good gas mileage.
Power is good (180 some horses) for a
minivan.
Handling is very good for a minivan.

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?

Can't get rid of it.

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.
