1999 Oldsmobile Alero review from Finland
"No pain, no gain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Apparently the same problems as everybody else; brake pads wear out twice a year and driver-side window came down.
Break disks were pain to change, but do-able anyway.
General comments?
Excellent driver seat. Low gas usage. Car looks pretty nice. Haven't had any rust problems. Fixing is quite difficult since car is quite "hi-tech" and parts are expensive :)
