2000 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"Don't pass this thing up! If you can catch it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad water pump, no big deal. I had them replace the serpentine belt due to general wear and tear.
General comments?
This car is sooo pretty. I am 23 years old and my friends are surprised when I say I decided to buy an Olds, until they see it. The interior is great for communting, pretty comfortable. I got this green metallic paint that I keep getting compliments on. The 3.4 v6 is so quick its amazing, and relatively smooth. Tranny is good, smooth at 33k miles. I had 15 grand to spend and was tired of the ubiquitous Japanese Cars that you could call Hondoytaishi because they all look the same and have no character. Consider this car. If a 23 year old thinks its cool, its okay to drive to an Olds!
