1999 Oldsmobile Bravada review from North America
"One of the best riding SUV you can get"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has gone wrong with this SUV is the fact that they did not have a transmission cooler installed. So, I added one for towing my boat. I did this to decrease the chance of the transmission overheating while towing.
General comments?
I love the way this automobile feels inside and out. The ride is smooth compared to the Jeep I once had. While the Jeep is far superior off road it's on road behavior was rough even after installing new springs and shocks. The transition to the Bravada has been great and is capable of any off-roading I will do. The all wheel drive has worked as well as a nice fitting glove. If I had a complaint it would be that I can't lock it in. The inside is great and anyone would love to have as good a feeling ride as this has for the SUV it is.
