2000 Oldsmobile Alero GXL review from North America
"Definitely would buy an Oldsmobile again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Signal lights, short in hazard switch, replaced never had another problem.
E-Brake spring broke, warranty covered.
Manual shifter recall.
60,000 km before first brake job.
Cloth seat in back wore quickly.
General comments?
My car is a GXL, it's the base model, with all the performance upgrades, minus leather. Bought my car new and have love it ever since, besides a few minor problems, haven't had anything major, clutch is amazing even after 75,000+ kms, and I've been far from easy on the car. Regularly maintained this car will last a long time, the only real thing that has annoyed me is GM Service Dept. (bunch of trained monkeys), but over-all would buy an Oldsmobile again, ashame they've closed the division down after so many years.
