1999 Oldsmobile Alero LX review from North America
"This is a very good and attractive car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Three or four times when trying to start the car, the "security" sensor light comes on. When that happens, it will turn over, but will not start until the sensor light goes out. (usually about 10 minutes)
General comments?
Other than the sensor light problem, I like driving this car. It handles very well, and has great pick up. I also like the way it looks. It is by far the prettiest car I have ever had.
