Thu, 22 May 2008 22:37:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author aleroluver - I do not own an Alero. I've never owned one, and never will. I write this review as once prospective purchaser/owner. If people can write reviews of rental cars, I feel justified in writing a review even though I don't own this car. I've certainly...

1999 Oldsmobile Alero: Fantastic car even at 120000 !!!

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 23:07:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbrady007 - Overall this car has been fantastic. This car has seen numerous highway miles. Obviously, the V6 is made for cruising as this is where it excels. At 74mph the needle hovers just over 2K RPM and the engine rides very comfortably. With the leather...

1999 Oldsmobile Alero: Don't buy this car

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author musical_2 - Overall, this car is not worth it. I've had my Alero for 2 years (I bought it used also) and have had NOTHING but problems with it. I'd fix one problem, and another would pop up! And, they've primarily been electrical problems. Apparently there's a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ebwholesaler - I'm a GM enthousiast, i must admit. I wanted a used Cadillac (94-99) or a Pontiac GrandPrix (97-2001). (July 2004).

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eagle3535 - The Alero is a surprisingly nice car. When I bought mine I was hoping not to get hosed with a lemon. My car has 70,000 miles on it and runs like its brand new. The biggest surprise to me was how powerful the car is. It's a small car with a V6 engine...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author alerohater - I bought my Alero in May of 2003, and it is not March 2004 and I am replacing the motor. Started out with brake problems, then went on to the leather under the windows and on the dash "bubbling" up in the sun. Next, I had coolant/oil leaks at the...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author whoanellieb - I bought a 1999 Alero GL in 2000, and got rid of it two years later. I live in Lansing MI, so basically this car was made right down the street. Putting some dollars into the local economy can't be bad, right? First, I bought this with some miles on it,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author naughti - I bought a '99 Alero last summer (2003) used obviously, with 79k mi. and paid around $7.5k, a hell of a deal if you ask me. I needed a new car, my last one ('86 honda prelude) began to get a bit expensive, and became somewhat unreliable. My grandparents a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author clifswin - I bought my Olds Alero GLS back in February of 2000, in more of a hurry than I usually would, when my faithful '88 Integra's engine became sculpture one day on the way to work. (A tip to Honda and Acura owners: use a reputable mechanic who'll tell you...

Thu, 11 Apr 2002 10:53:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joshbnet - It’s unfortunate that GM will be discontinuing the Oldsmobile line since they have finally hit the spot with the Alero and Intrigue. The Alero appeals to the more youthful spirited while the Intrigue provides the sophistication needed of a mature adult...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hankswife - We bought our Alero in January of 1999. Other than routine oil changes, the only repair necessary was a taillight that had to be replaced.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author blautens - Great car to drive, not so much fun to own if you have a problematic one. Of course, my Olds dealer closed his doors 3 months after I bought (no wonder I got such a deal...), and the Cadillac dealer who inherited the franchise has trained monkeys (hey,...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author madscot - When my LeBaron convertible finally gave up the ghost, I looked at the Grand Prix, Sebring Convertible, Accord, and Alero. I finally settled on the Alero GL since it drove well and seemed to offer the best combination of price and features.
