2003 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"Comfy, fast, stylish, everything a 23 year old wants"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have not had any real problems with this car. To boot this is my second Alero.
General comments?
I loved my old car, which was a 2000 2 dr GL, and I love my new one, which is a 2003 4 dr GLS with all the goodies.
The brakes are great, the pick up is plentiful, and it corners very well for a mid size family sedan.
I am hard on my cars, but take very good care of them e.g. regular oil changes, tire rotated all the good stuff, and I have yet to have any major problems with my car.
The motor in my old car blew at 300000 km and it was the 2.4 4 cyl, so I can't complain.
I look forward too many good years of driving out of this car, and have one thing to say to everyone... maintenance - if you take care of your car, it will take care of you, and it's so so true.
