1999 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"170 horsepower isn't enough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no problems with the Alero yet.
General comments?
My GLS Alero is a great fun car to drive. Its power is good except Oldsmobile added a governor at 105 MPH.
The other downside is the back seat is very uncomfortable.
Steering is excellent both for highway and city driving.
