2000 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"Sucks in every possible way"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front tire constantly low on pressure, even after buying new tires.
Leaks coolant, even after replacing water pump.
Moulding on doors has come off.
Rear view Mirror fell off.
Dashboard leather peeled off from heat.
Car currently simply won't start.
General comments?
I hated this car two months after my wife bought it. It's uncomfortable for a man over 6 feet tall. My head hits the ceiling when I'm driving and there's no room for my legs. My knee is always in the council. CD player doesn't play burned discs, cup holder is in a terrible place (in front of shifter) and car has had constant mechanical problems.
