2002 Oldsmobile Alero GL1 review from North America
"Love this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 70000 miles I had to replace the brakes in the front.
Had to replace the wheel bearings a few times.
And at 150000 miles the catalytic converter was replaced.
That's all, and regular maintenance.
General comments?
This car is a lot better than the Grand Am I previously owned. The Alero has lasted a lot longer than the Grand Am did. When the Grand Am turned 100000 miles, it lost a lot of power. But when the Alero turned 100000 miles nothing happened. It ran the same and it still runs like new at 157000 miles. This car is great if you maintain like you should.
