A screw came loose on the center console. The dealer fixed per warranty.
The seats are mildly uncomfortably especially on long distance trips.
The factory 225/50-16 Goodyear tires were very loud/harsh. I replaced them with same size Continental Contitrac tires.
This car is nothing short of amazing given the price I paid ($18,995). It handles like a BMW and is fast as well. The interior design and the coloring placement was very well executed (tan/brown). The stereo could use some better speakers, but, the deck (CD) is very easy and comfortable to use. The layout of all accessory controls is one of the easiest to use that I have seen. This car has been a very fun and enjoyable car to drive. If only I could keep my foot off the gas pedal!
I'm glad you like your alero, I have a 2002 gls coupe and feel confident it will hold up. also--- I owned a bimmer and the olds doesn't come close to it on handling.
