2002 Oldsmobile Alero 2.2L

Summary:

A concert of defects in a nice looking car

Faults:

From the very beginning, the windows whistle while opening.

After six months drive, the starter has broken and was replaced.

General Comments:

The car is very fast and is very nice looking. That's the only positive remarks I have.

The finish of the interior is poor and looks mediocre.

The car is extremely not reliable. The too sophisticated sensors send false alarms that are so often the mechanics are used to them.

The plastic material on the inner side of doors is soft and easily scratched.

Fuel consumption increases sharply when the air conditioning is functioning.

While driving, engine is very noisy. I had two Chevrolets before and I will buy another one, but not a "hidden" Oldsmobile.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
