2004 Oldsmobile Alero GX review from North America

I bought my car used, so of course there is normal ware and tear, but I do agree with previous comments that the brakes do squeak way too much.

The starter seems to be get stuck every once in a while after the car is obviously on and running.

After starting the car and shifting it into drive, the transmission jerks more than it should just to be put into drive. But mainly when I have the car in neutral and shift to drive is when it does it the most.

The glue holding the vinyl to the dash appears to have lost some of its bonding power because it is beginning come detached. As well as the paint chips off of the buttons on the CD player as well as the automatic lock and window switches.

And the cup holder isn't in a very logical place especially for larger cups. Cans are fine, but I find myself telling passengers to move their cups so I can put it into park.

Overall I am very satisfied with my car. It is a V6 automatic and has the get up and go that I have wanted. It gets decent gas mileage. That's why I miss my Camry, because it had way better fuel economy.

I believe that I paid way to much for it and would have rather continued to look elsewhere, but I needed a car A.S.A.P.

I like the sleekness in the appearance of the car. That is what appealed to me the most.
