"Best overall quality"
"Own a 2000 Silhouette with 80,000 miles and have been pleased with the gas mileage, quality, comfort and ride. No complaints at all, it is great for travelling with kids. Also own a 2005 Dodge van and feel that the Olds is a higher quality van overall. Wish they still made them!"
