Engine and Performance

The 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette was available with two different engines: a 3.4-liter V6 and a 3.8-liter V6. The 3.4-liter V6 produced 185 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque, while the 3.8-liter V6 produced 200 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. Both engines were paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.

The Silhouette's performance was adequate, but not exceptional. The 3.4-liter V6 provided enough power for most driving situations, but it struggled when the minivan was fully loaded. The 3.8-liter V6 was a better choice for those who needed more power, but it was also more expensive.

The base model came standard with power windows, power locks, power mirrors, a power driver's seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a cassette player. The Premier model also came standard with a sunroof, leather seats, and a Bose premium audio system.

Exterior

The 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette had a bland and inoffensive exterior design. The front of the minivan was dominated by a large grille and swept-back headlights.
