Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No 
Pros: nice interior
Cons: You don't have enough time!!!! I have had nothing but problems with this van.
The Bottom Line: Do not buy this van. It is not reliable and will cost you $$$$$.
This van has never been reliable. We bought it for trips with the sports teams and it has caused us so much trouble. It stays in the shop all the time. We either have it in the shop when we need it or it breaks down when we go out of town. The body ... read more

The Bottom Line: This is one van you can take everywhere with everyone!!
With 3 kids a van was a must. We bought this van totally loaded, our purchase price is well above the one listed here. Oldsmobile has been great. My battery ended up having a dead cell, so it kept going dead. Under the agreement they sent someone out ... read more

We have had our 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette for three months now. It is everything I wanted it to be.
We looked at every domestic make and model of mini-vans around before we bought ours. Comfort and price was our major influences. ... read more

Pros: great options and reliablity

The Oldsmobile Silhouette is an outstanding minivan with an array of useful features. It is also well designed and fun to drive. With a peppy engine, good handling, and tight cornering. Also living in Colorado the Silhouette does great in the snow. ... read more

Pros: The Silhouette it's self is a pro.
Cons: None that I have found so far.
I was once one of those ANTI MINI VAN people. Until the first time I saw and drove my Oldsmobile Silhouette. There are so many things that I love about my Silhouette. I would have to say that the power sliding door would have to be my favorite thing. ... read more

Pros: Easy to drive, great entertainment system
Cons: Costs more than your average van
After driving compacts cars for years, I was wary of buying such a large vehicle, but my growing family just didn't fit in those small cars anymore. When we began looking at minivans we were overwhelmed at the choices. After looking at ALL of them we ... read more

Cons: not great for pickin up ladies on a Friday night
So, I must admit I haven't driven this van much (I'm only a poor college student, I'd feel lucky if I had a pinto with three out of the four tires and no spark plugs) because it belongs to my parents, but from my experience, it drives really well. It is ... read more

Pros: Value and Comfort

When we purchased our Silhouette, we were a little bit nervous. Our last experience buying a new car had left us by the wayside feeling well a little sore in the bottom region. We looked at several models but had never even considered buying an ... read more

Pros: Safety features

This is my sixth van, all previously from another company. This is the best of the lot. Most comfortable ride -- no sway going around a curve.
Leaves other cars behind on a grade. I also like the daylight riding lights and the side air bags, both ... read more

Pros: 8 pass seating, great seats, easy changing
Cons: No leather seat/tv option for 8 pass model
I waited years for the right time to buy a new mini-van. Years of driving used vehicles finally paid off when I got into a '99 Fortunate for me, I checked with my dealer just before the 2000 came out, because I was told they discontinued the eight pass. ... read more

Pros: A very comfortable, easy to drive vehicle. It can carry very heavy loads with ease.
Cons: A slight oversteer is noted and wheel balancing is tedious.
The Oldsmobile Silhouette Premier is a very classy vehicle. It drives like a sedan, has great space and does not buckle under heavy loads. I chose an Oldsmobile for its comfort of ride, room of the interior, EPA mileage stats, great handling, stability ... read more

We put off making a jump from a station wagon to a van for several years and the wait has paid off. We fell in love with the Oldsmobile Silhouette Premiere version immediately. It didn't hurt that we were picking up a 1999 with 10K miles at a great ... read more

Pros: The overall look of the van Thats about it.
Cons: Transmission, A/C, Interior Room, Cup Holders, Power Door.
Well let me start by saying I am a big fan of GM but not this one. The transmission is failing at 90k. The power sliding door has stopped working, The A/C isn't strong enough to cool the people that sit in the back. The back is good if you have small
