Good for a few years....unreliable after warranty!
by Owner from Seattle. on 02/17/2006.
Trim: 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette Premiere, Owned 4 years.

Pros:
In the first year or two of owning this vehicle, I had few complaints. LOVED the rear parking assist, heated & comfortable seats, gas mileage was good, kids loved the DVD. It was & did everything I could imagine, but then....
Cons:
Things started breaking down and/or just plain shutting down. At this point (4 yrs into ownership and 20K miles after warranty):
- Heated Seats do not work and no one can seem to fix them (this was a problem that we had even WHILE under warranty, they were fixed three times under warranty and have been "fixed" once since then!)
- dash lighting is going out (1/2 lights, other 1/2 is dark!)
- front defogger fan make a TERRIBLE noise when turned on.
- drivers side heater sounds like it is blowing up when turned on
- rear wiper stopped working
- wireless headphones are not working consistently.
- My residual value is almost nothing!
Overall review:
For the cost of these vehicles (GM branded minivans), they should have better accessory reliability. Don't get me wrong, this car has never broke down on us or anything but the little nagging problems with the items listed above could drive you crazy & cost you $$!
We are fixing the important problems and trading this in for a Honda or a Toyota! Maybe we'll finally have a car that will hold up over time!
