2002 Oldsmobile Bravada consumer reviews

Loved the way it carried - good weight. Does not sway easily. Comfortable for long distances. Liked the air suspension, interior air. Featured enough room. Changed the computer after about 7ish years, & it worked great till now. July 2019 Wish this model was still made. Would buy it again.

I love it. . I now live in it. I can't afford to have the frame welded. Lost job. Is this a factory reject ?

This SUV performs very well for its size and weight. Handles well also. Suspension is a little soft in the rear. But still gets the job done well.

Very roomy and luxurious car. Reliable transportation for my family. Great heated seats. Lots of leg room in the back. Great stereo system. I love the heating in the back seat.

We?ve driven this car to both North Carolina and South Carolina beaches, NC mountains to go camping, driven to Savannah, GA and South Florida, and all trips have been good. This is a very reialble vehicle.

This was our last purchase of an SUV. It has been an great and dependable vehicle for traveling and Camping. We drove this car to south Florida, Georgia, Myrtle Beach and Charleston, SC Virginia and Tennessee, through mountains and all the highways and byways and have had nothing but great memories. It has been a very reliable car and the next person will hopefully love it as much as we have.

This vehicle has been very dependable, quiet, and nice looking inside and out. Where can you find as nice of an SUV that has leather seats, wood tone trim, and very good cargo area without paying more? Compare to any Lexus, Acura, Toyota or Nissan and none will have those details all in the same car for the same price. Personally, I love the extended turn ratio, included tie hitch, running boards and large cargo area with fold down rear seats.

I bought my Olds Bravada brand new in 2002. It has 140K miles mainly due to frequent drives from Toronto to Ft Lauderdale. Recently I had thought a great deal about replacing it but for the life of me I cannot bring myself to part with it. It has never let me down or left me stranded. I have done all the recommended maintenance over the years and have replaced items when needed. Not cheap but certainly not as costly as the investment in a new vehicle. It has every conceivable option which came standard when I bought it. Replication would cost well over $40K. My mechanic tells me I should be good for another 60K miles which is good enough for me. WHAT A TRULY GREAT VEHICLE.

I owned a 2002, bright red, and one of the first ones made. I drove it for 75K miles in 4 years. I really miss it. The Bose audio was the best I have ever had, and I have driven a lot. The Driver DSP mode specifically has the best imaging in a car environment I have ever heard. My Bravada was mostly reliable. I hit some debris, but two of the tires lasted the whole 75K. The brakes were original and worked great. My highway mileage was outstanding. On a trip from IN to NYC through Niagara Falls, we averaged 23.5 for the whole trip, traffic jams and all, 75mph on the highway. Ironically, mine had the 4.10 gear, which you would think would get worse mileage. I was turning 2000RPM at 65mph. I used Mobile1 oil, but I think that the 4.10 let it stay locked up in OD except for steep hills. My job required me to get new cars frequently, so I had to let it go. On paper, it is not the best out there, but it just felt nice. It still looked like a truck, but just had nice lines, great paint color, good proportions, just fit like the perfect pair of jeans. Wish I still had it...

The overall value of the Oldsmobile Bravada (basically a loaded Chevy Trailblazer or GMC Envoy) is excellent comfort and ride quality. The interior is equipped with leather, heated seats, dual power lumbar support for driver and front passenger and complimented by the premium ride suspension which makes you feel you are in a long wheel base vehicle like the GMC Yukon XL! The smooth ride really makes any drive comfortable, this is a Premium Luxury Sport Utility vehicle. The automatic dual air temperature selectors are really nice, my wife does not have to keep slapping my hand for turning down the heat, I like it cool she likes it much warmer. The kids liked having their own heat and air controls in back as well as separate radio controls with headphones. The Bravada provides good fuel economy for the size of the vehicle and it's ability to pull 4,000 plus lbs. I get an average of 15 in the City and 19-20 on the Highway depending on which way the wind is blowing. I have done all the required maintenance on the vehicle and I have not encountered any large expenses for repairs. Changed tires 2 times in 100,000 miles, oil changes, 3 coolant changes, 3 tranny flushes, 2 fuel filters, brakes and rotors, mostly just normal required maintenance. I did have to replace the liftgate handle-strap inside the back of vehicle, it just broke off one day...and a couple of light bulbs in vehicle. I have been very happy overall with the Bravada, it pulls my boat, very comfortable going anywhere and it has been a very solid performer. Writing a review actually makes you think pretty hard about what you really have. Guys...make sure you get your wife a Valentines Present early, with a card, roses and chocolates.
