2002 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"Best Car Ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the Brake lights lost connection, but I fixed that. Some times it revs out different at 100 km it seems until it gets warmed up. Like I'll set the cruses on 100 km and it'll rev at 2250 rpms then it will drop to 1750rpms in like 5-10 minutes.
General comments?
Buying this Car is most likely the best money I have ever spent. It handles like a dream, the steering is very tight and the acceleration is great. The seats are very comfortable and the back seats have a lot of leg room, the trunk is very large so you can fit almost any thing in there and if you ever happen to find that the trunk is to small the back seats split 70 30. The engine always seems to start even when I made the stupid mistake of not plugging it in when it was -30 out. I am pretty sure this car could stop on a dime with the all wheel disc brakes and ABS, and the trac control is very handy when the roads are icy. It's stock sound system is very good one, of the best stock sounds I have heard. All of this and you get the nice curves of the Aleros body. The back end looks great with the over sized oval tail lights, and the chrome trim around the windows really looks nice.
