Who it suits. Drivers who want an SUV with all-wheel or four-wheel drive Owners comfortable with a gasoline six-cylinder powertrain
The 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada AWD makes sense for someone who specifically wants a four-wheel or all-wheel-drive SUV from this model year. Its 16 MPG combined figure is modest, and the $4,200 annual fuel estimate deserves a place in the buying decision. Highway use is rated at 19 MPG, but city driving drops to 14 MPG. The 4.2-liter six-cylinder engine and four-speed automatic transmission define its simple gasoline powertrain. Pick it for its body and drivetrain, not for low running costs.
