2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette GLS review from North America
"Sporty and semi luxurious for not much money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission started shifting very hard intermittently in all gears at 73,000 miles.
A back-light steering wheel control button and the AC dash button not lighting up.
Plastic guide piece next to power sliding door track broke.
One power side vent window sticks open at times.
General comments?
Great van for the low price.
Heated leather seats great for Minnesota winters.
Great Gas mileage and love the large gas tank.
Could use 30 more horsepower to move such a big vehicle.
Interior/exterior plastic seems flimsy and would break with heavy use.
Other than the intermittent transmision trouble, car looks and runs like new.
I expect (hope) the tranny issue is a function of an electronic control element and not the tranny itself.
My 2000 looks almost the same as the 2004 at the price of a down payment on an 04.
