2002 Oldsmobile Alero GL 2 review from North America
"Fast and Fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much, had to have a heater switch, 2 sets of rotors, one set of pads. Rotors on it have been there since about 30000 miles so they must be good.
General comments?
Car is very very fast, would leave my Lumina in it's dust, although the fuel consumption of the bigger 3.4 is worse than the Lumina's 3.1.
Handling is o.k., the Lumina could definitely take the curves much better, but probably because of the weight.
Seats feel like they are made of carved stone, not as comfy as the Lumina.
