1998 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"A fun car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, the trunk opens itself during windy storms (twice to date).
General comments?
I love this car. It not only handles well, but I feel safe in it. I have driven many cars by different manufacturers and I love the Alero.
Although it has problems, it always starts and I feel that it is very reliable. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.
