After putting 18,000 kilometers on the vehicle, I have yet to experience any breakdowns or faults... knock on wood.
I find the car has very good acceleration, good stopping power, and very stable in the turns, not to mention, that I find the ride extremely comfortable, and quiet.
The stereo is very nice, as it features dual formats, meaning that it supports both cassette, as well as CD`s.
However, I can`t understand why Oldsmobile would incorporate a ton of electrical marvels into this car, (IE: ride control, traction lock, digital dash) yet, can`t provide power windows!
Also, when the car was brand new, Oldsmobile was stating that this vehicle would obtain fuel mileage in the neighborhood of 40 miles per gallon... I can surely atest that this number has been expressly exaggerated, as my vehicle will get approximately 25 miles per gallon, on a good day!
I get good fuel mileage on my alero 2000 3.4 V6, I keep the the vehicle well maintained and it seems to hold up for me.
Maybe put in a turbonator. http://www.turbonator.com/
I consistently get 27mpg on my 2000 GLS V6 3400 (120K miles) - I commute 60 per day... 20 of it is stop and go. I've gotten 30 on all hwy miles a couple times (I don't run the ac though)
I have a cold-air intake and aftermarket exhaust (flowmaster).
Myriad of other problems though... gonna try and make it to 200K before I get my Ford pick-up.
