2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette Premiere 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

Besdies the usual, I transport 6-7 adults with luggage 4-6 times a year so rear seat headroom is very important to me. The 24 mpg that I have been getting has been excellent for the size of the vehicle. My costs were only wear and tear and recommended maintenance, except for an intake gasket related to the cooling system that apparently is a weak feature in GM cars. Replacing that cost $1,000 when I was out of town on a trip. This has been a very comfortable, efficient, reliable road vehicle.
Great minivan

This is the second Oldsmobile Silhouette we have owned. The first was a 1991 with 210,000+ miles on it. Over the ten years of use repairs were minor and I still had the original engine and transmission. The 2001 is as good; however we miss the composite dent-free body.

Bought this with 148k on the odometer. Paid less than the low value of KBB for a vehicle in this condition. I had to do some immediate but minor repairs to bring it up to my standards, i.e. new battery (old one was 7 years old), new tail lights (cracked lens and full of water), clean headlamp lens (clouded), and detailing the interior. Since then it has been running great and the fuel economy has been a most pleasant surprise. At first the cruise control didn't work but I found out that by fixing the taillight problem it also fixed that too. The back seats are removable but I found that by just folding the third row forward it more than doubles the rear cargo area and I still have the extra seating if I need it. I used to own a Pontiac Montana and it was a constant pain. Considering this is the same model and engine, the only difference is it was built by Olds. This is the base model so it lacks some of the bells and whistles but it was those same bells and whistles on the Montana that caused so much trouble. Right now the only problem is the power mirror on the drivers side won't go up or down. I set it by hand and now everything is fine.

I bought my Oldsmobile Silhouette new and five years later I am still happy with it. It has had no major problems to speak of. The only time I had it at the dealer was to fix the blower, it had lost low speed and the heater in the passenger seat died. Both were fixed without issue. I replaced the front brakes twice, tires twice, and rear brakes once. I am happy with the accelation also. It isn't a race car but I can merge onto a highway without feeling like I'm going to get creamed.
Class with Reliability!

The 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette is an excellent van for the money. It's loaded with features and very reliable. I purchased mine with 44,000 miles on it and now have 67,000 miles. I have owned it for 14 months with no problems. If snow is in your area I'd recommend the AWD version available in years 2002 - 2004. Our does not have AWD and that is the only option we wish we had. It gets respectable fuel mileage...23 miles per gallon overall with combined city/highway driving. We get 29 mpg if we burn a full tank on the Interstate averaging 70 mph. This van has respectable handling, power and reliability. I would recommend it over the Pontiac Montana.........the Silhoutte is a much classier vehicle on the inside and outside. Consider a Silhouette if you're looking for a good used family van.
