2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette Premiere Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

I bought this minivan with 59,600 miles on it. It looks like it just came off the showroom floor. I was impressed with the thoughtful ergonomics and comfortable seating and vantage point. My wife and I test drove a Chrysler Town & Country and both felt we had a better command of the road visually in the Silhouette. It also didn't rock side to side as much as the T&C. I have the premier gold edition, it's like my Dad's Cadillac Deville in a minivan. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. The storage is awesome, power side doors, auxillary air inflator are you kidding me! GM should have tossed out Pontiac first, and kept making this gem.
The best mini van on the road

I have had many Olds Silhouette's. They are the best mini vans around. I keep hoping that they will continue to be produced. GM should add the Silhouette to another line ie: Cadillac Mini Van. WHATEVER JUST KEEP MAKING IT!! They ride like a car not a truck like the other models.

I bought this van for business purposes, because of it's design. The ride is fantastic and comfort is at par with some of the major luxury brands, it isn't known as "the Cadillac of Minivans" for no reason. Americans can never get their computer systems right, and that became apparent when the ABS, Traction control systems failed. I don't have time to go to dealership to fix it, and even if I took it to the dealership, these sound like expensive repairs. Will just have to buy a new vehicle soon. Great for traveling in, highly recommend this car, if you go on a lot of trips, good gas mileage on the highway, horrible in city.
This van has been awesome!!

My wife and I purchased this van new in Jan 2004 and have had it 4+ years now and it has 83,000 miles. All that we have had to do is replace the wheel bearing and brakes. For a van which was supposedly unreliable, my wife and I have had no problems. We have taken it on every vacation and it avg's 24- 25 mpg at 70-75 mph with full loads and 3 kids. It still sparkles when washed and waxed. Lots of room and plenty of room to store luggage when traveling. The interior is easy to clean and seats are very comfy even in back. Lots of storage compartments for those carry along toys. Sorry to see Olds no longer is in business because we'd buy another.
Sorry It Is Discontinued

Our 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouete is our fifth one. We have always loved it. We have taken previous models on cross county trips with elderly parents in their mid 80's. With the second row captain's sets, not one of us ever suffered a backache. The long-trip mileage is actually very good for a vehicle this size, fully loaded with passengers,luggage and the air conditioning running -- over 27 mpg.
Transmission Troubles

We picked up our Silhouette, drove it for about a week before we left for Florida where we spend the winter. We made it as far as Gainesville and the check engine light came on, the gas mileage decreased and the performance in traffic decreased dramatically. We were reasonably close to our destination so we continued on. Thank Heaven we didn't stop to have it checked as we took it in to the dealer in Bradenton on our arrival and it took 11 days to get it back. The transmission was out. We were told it took that long because the transmission never goes out. DUH! We have it back but are getting 20 MPG compared to 29 MPG before the transmission quit.

We had high hopes for our Premiere, having had GM pull us out of our former Chevy Venture lease. It has been a reliability nightmare. The ventilation system does not deliver the same temp of air between the front and back (almost 25 degree diff). GM master techs cannot correct it. The alternator has died four times, and still the vehicle has issues. We also have a 2 inch pile of service invoices for over two dozen nickel and dime repairs. At first, we thought we had the perfect minivan loaded at the right price. Buyer beware - Olds' phaseout plays appears to be impacting quality. Bottom line - look elsewhere.
2nd time around

I put 98000 miles on a 1988 Silhouette and didn't think twice about purchasing another one. I wish GM would of taken another brand out of production.
