What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Oldsmobile Bravada

"Taking the good with the Bad?"

"Overall I find my Oldsmobile, Bravada to be great on some aspects, and quite poor in other areas. On the "Plus-Side" I live in the north, and I will say that this SUV is great in the snow, with the 4x4, and presumed weight of the automobile. Also, I enjoy having some of the luxuries you'd find in a luxury automobile such as my Cadillac DeVille. I'm able to enjoy heated leather seats in the Bravada, I have a towing Package which is nice, power everything, and for the most part comfortable to travel in, etc... However; I've noticed as the SUV is getting older, it sure seems to be making more noices, and is just a bit louder on the road now compared to when I first purchased this Bravada. Also, that new "SmartTrak" they're using, has broken twice since I've had it. I'd much prefer being able to engage the 4x4 manually, rather than relying on a computer to do this. One more thing...I do realize it is an SUV, but I've got to say, the gas mileage is just awful!! It seems I've got to fill the gas tank all the time. In actuallity I honestly get better gas mileage in my Cadillac than I do the Bravada!! Hope this helps...!! Frank"

"I love my Bravada"

"Purchased in 2005 with less than 50K miles. I have driven in blizzards, serious rain, up and down mountains, and now in the flats of SE Louisiana. She is over 20 years old and the problems have been old age and a few cosmetic mishaps. Tires have to be replaced every 5 years, A/C compressor times 1, fuel system coming up. I am rather short and have back issues. This vehicles works. The length is good, height good, love being up high enough to see past traffic, great visibility. Pretty luxurious. The leather and plastic have held up very well. Do not think they make them anymore so hard to recommend it. I would rather paint it than sell it!"

"a good dependable vehicle"

"responds well,easy to drive,excellent visibility"
