2000 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"Nice, somewhat costly, not many problems, over all decent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My dome light falls down sometimes.
Replaced brakes only once.
When I first got it, it had antifreeze leak.
Replaced hub berrings.
Low tire pressure light and oil light come on whenever they want.
Dashboard leather is comming up.
Trans jitters when gunning it from a stop "doesn't seem like a big deal"
Went through 4 alternators.
Clunking noise when turning out of driveway sharp.
General comments?
This car is great, I love it, for a 17 year old its nice and decently quick.
Great gas mileage for 3.4 24 city and 29 highway.
Comfortable, sporty performance.
Dad loves it when he drives it, sais its comfortable for him "let me tell u, hes like 240lbs too lol"
Great on highway, not much wind noise at all.
