1999 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"The best car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My brakes are starting to go bad.
I was told when I bought it that there were minor leaks in the main seal, but so far I have seen none.
General comments?
I love my Olds Alero. It is a beautiful car. I totally disagree with all the people who are talking badly about the Alero. I think it is very comfortable and pretty quick too. I have brought my car up to the speedway and won quite a few races. It is the best car you can get for your money. It is fairly cheap, stylish, fast, comfortable, reliable and it is always a smooth ride. When I am bored with my car, which won't be soon, I will definatly buy another Oldsmobile. I feel sorry for all the people who got there Alero and were dissatisfied, but there isn't and probably never will be a car that every owner is in love with.
