1994 Oldsmobile Bravada review from North America
"Dependable, handsome work horse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake manifold gasket leaked at 141,000.
General comments?
We bought the Bravada in Montana when our Dodge Caravan blew up on vacation.
The Bravada was an executive car so we were the first registered owners.
The car is amazing; no major repairs until very recently (intake manifold gasket), drives well, pulls trailer and boat without much effort and has almost 95,000 on Michelin tires.
Although it has very little retail value today, there is no reason to trade it off. We'll keep driving it for as long as possible.
