2000 Oldsmobile Bravada 4x4 AWD review from North America
"Overpriced, but comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Recently the windshield wipers will not move back and forth at a high enough speed which is needed during heavy rain.
Key-less entry stopped working.
Seat adjustment side plastic cover/panel breaks easily on both driver and passenger seats. Dealer replaced cover/panel on driver's side free.
Paint chips and scratches easily, but that's happened on all American vehicles I've owned.
General comments?
Excellent leather seats! More comfortable than the Lexus RX300.
Ride quality great!
You can drive at high speeds during rain or snow and the vehicle will keep it's grip. Brakes are above average.
I lease it which is good because depreciation is from $30,000 (2000) down to $13,000 three years later (blue book).
