THE OLDSMOBILE ALERO SUSPENSION:
This review covers all years of the Alero since the steering and suspension systems have gone mostly unchanged since its inception.
But first an explanation on why I only review...

Pros: Air conditioning, logical controls, acceleration
Cons: Mushy cornering, poor gas mileage, radio controls, uncooperative rear seats
Comparison is a very subjective value. For those with no previous realm of knowledge, comparison simply doesn't exist. For those with a limited past basis, then it becomes relative. To further illustrate, a woman who leaves a man who was very physically...

It was Christmas day, all-n-all a lovely day for me and my family. The cold air was still with us, blowing and gusting now and again, throwing itself against the windows like and angry bull, shaking the storm windows in their sills. The snow had been...

Pros: Attractive Styling, Reliability, Fuel Economy, Cheap Parts, Quick
Cons: Wheel Bearings, ABS sensors, Intake seals (3400 SFI engine only),
The Bottom Line: Go for it, you it won't be dissapointed
I have probably owned at least 10-15 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Aleros (ranging from 10k miles to 190k miles) so I guess I am what you would consider the guru of these cars, if there is one out there. I first would strongly recommend if you are considering ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great Looking Coupe, Great Brakes, Fun to Drive, Value/Standard Features
Cons: Sparse Interior
Oldsmobile has often meant OLDpersonsMOBILE. Not the Alero. The Alero I had for the week was the coupe, 5-speed with the 2.3L 4 cylinder engine.
This car turns heads. It looks great. Many people commented on the car's styling. Mine was red...

The time had finally come. I promised my daughter that when she became a senior in college she would get her own car. So as her junior year came to end she spend many hours "researching" different cars. And to say the least I was so...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: Great styling; Leather Interior is High-Quality; Lots of Features for a Great Price
Cons: Fuel-economy and Brake Problems
The Bottom Line: Cheap car with lots of features of higher-end models.
First, let me start of by prefacing this review with the fact that I have leased my Alero since April, 2000. I am generally satisfied with the car, mostly due to the great price I paid. When I was in the market for a new vehicle I was looking for a...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Quality, performance, and tech goodies in a stylish package.
Cons: Stupid rear spoiler
The Bottom Line: Good car in the sporty compact class. Don't buy another without a test drive. Sporty in spirit if not in body.
Purchased this vehicle in August 2000 and have put on 7000 miles.
Compared the Toyota Celica and Corolla, Olds Intrigue, Ford Mustang, Chevy Malibu, Dodge Stratus, Avenger, and Nissan Stanza. I already own a late model Mustang and did not...

Pros: Cool looks, runs and drives great, lots of extras, plenty of room for a family
Cons: Some of the extras hard to figure out without an owners manual
Well, the Geo, as much as we loved it, was ready for a trade-in. Sadly, we went to our neighborhood car-lots, knowing that we would never find another car as good as our Geo. (If you haven't read my earlier opinion of the Geo, it is a 1996 Geo Metro...

Pros: very nice car
Cons: not many people will look at it cuz it's american
The 1999 Oldsmobile Alero is poised to help Olds continue its comeback partly by doing the tough job of attracting people oriented toward import cars. Many Americans don't include any U.S. automaker on their shopping lists because they assume domestic...

Pros: Excellent styling and packaging
Cons: poor craftsmanship, design, execution.
I was forced to get rid of my Miata last fall because of a job change (needed the car for work driving, etc) and some lifestyle changes (got engaged to a wonderful woman).
I started the search with the Fbody (Camaro) because I felt like an 8...

Pros: Smart styling, economical, comfortable
Cons: Standard motor is small
When the engine on our Nissan Altima literally exploded at 95,000 miles, we asked the rental car company for a comparable vehicle to drive during the month Nissan took to replace the engine (thank goodness for extended warranties that cover rentals)....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Killer unique looks, brings American cars back into the small-car younger market
Cons: Cheap fit-and-finish, not as good as the German cars
The Bottom Line: i hate epinions' limit on 30 words here, can't fit anything
And just when Oldsmobile got it right, they get cut off. Yes, that's right, before I go on with the review, a moment of silence for GM's management's sanity. Just when they dumped a ton of money into getting a car division right, one not to be mocked,...

Pros: Price Performance and great looks
Cons: cup holders
First off, I will say this. American auto makers have came a long way when they introduce the Oldsmobile Alero. From the nice ride to the sporty performance it's an all around great car. Some of the best features that I like are the way the lights come...
