1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This has been a great family car, with kids that drive now no need for a vehicle with so many seats. It is very spacious and good for long road trips. It is a smooth ride and a comfortable one too. Maintenance and fuel costs have not been very high. It is easy to handle, acceleration is pretty powerful, and it has good brakes. Its been a very safe car, and never been in a wreck.

it worked alright til we traded it in.

Got this van as a second car for the family from my mother who got it from her mother years before, so it was a family affair. By the time we had it, it was well over 100,000 miles, so it had seen better days. A few issues were the brakes not working well & eventually going out entirely while on the highway (which was our fault for ignoring the signs), but in its day it was well equipped. If you find a low mileage one, definitely take it, just have the mechanic look it over first!
