2004 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"Great little car, glad I bought it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've owned my Alero GLS since June 05, and have been nothing, but happy with it. I've had it less than a year, and have put over 60,000 miles on it. The only thing I've done to it is regular scheduled maintenance. But have also spent the extra money to put good parts on it. For example: Bosch platinum plugs, and synthetic oil.
Its finally getting to the point where rotors are needing serviced, but its still on the original set, (all 4). I don't see where some owners are having such problems with their cars. You take care of them, they'll take care of you.
I use mine primarily for interstate travel for business and legal matters, and with gasoline prices as they currently are, I love getting 34mpg.
General comments?
The only thing this car lacks in options as far as I'm concerned, is heated seats and on-star.
I love my Alero, and wish Id have bought one sooner...
