1999 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"Reliable and cheap!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is slow to accelerate from a stop.
Once it shifts into 2nd gear, I have no trouble with acceleration.
This is a 2.4L engine and is bit noisy on the highway.
General comments?
This car handles well on the road.
I have never had a problem with this car.
Looks sharp and sporty once you wash the the salt, from the "Ohio" roads, off.
