Oldsmobile Silhouette review

Oldsmobile Silhouette is one of the few minivans that indisputably satisfy the drivers with its well-refined performance and carlike ride and handling. It stands out in a market flooded with different choices of minivans due to its perfect combination of ample space, excellent handling and performance and an amazing touch of luxury.

Silhouette's Premiere edition brags its top of the line video entertainment system that allows rear seat occupants enjoy their much loved DVD or play their favorite video games. To guarantee safety, Silhouette is outfitted with safety features like antilock brakes, side impact airbags and front passenger airbags. Enhancing the vehicle's stability and control is the standard traction control on front wheel drive models.

Oldsmobile Silhouette is fun to drive. It has an impressive acceleration and the powerful engine works without any irritations. The vehicle's center-row seats are comfy and accessible. Providing the driver and the occupants a safe ride are the standard anti-lock brakes and the side-impact air bags for the front seats. The GLS and Premiere editions have a rear parking-assist system that helps the rear of the minivan avoid any blockage to the rear.

The Silhouette's roomy interior accommodates seven adults. It has two bucket seats in the front and the second row captain's chairs are standard. Found in the third row is either a three-passenger bench seat or a stowable bench that comes along with a floor-mounted covered storage tray. The GLS and Premiere editions receive dual-zone climate-control system for the person occupying the front seats, perforated leather seat trim and an eight-way power seat with driver's memory.

All models also possess OnStar communication system and remote keyless entry. Found under the hood is Silhouette's sole powertrain ? the 3.4-liter V-6 engine that generates 185-horsepower and attached to a four-speed automatic transmission. The GLS and Premiere editions also brag its Versatrak all-wheel drive.
