1999 Oldsmobile Alero Reviews, Pricing & Specs



































































































































































What owners say
"Overall, Alero owners appreciate the car's speed, affordability, and reliability, often labeling it as a fun, sporty ride that's easy on the wallet. Many drivers mention good fuel economy and suggest it as a decent starter car. However, there are concerns about maintenance issues, such as window regulator problems and engine repairs, which can detract from the ownership experience. Despite these flaws, it's generally regarded as a great choice for singles or those needing a reliable daily driver."
i liked everything, nothing wrong with it, its got power and reliability that anyone can count on. the car is in great shape and runs like its brand new of the car lot!!!!! i would recommend this scar to anybody!
December 11, 2011I loved My Alero.. The color was hot... Burnt Orange. Nice to drive, had power, not like my crappy Saturn! It was decently priced.. Very low maintenance I had soooo much fun with this car, and I miss it lots!! It was my first, so it will always be special to ME!!!1
July 1, 2008Loved this car. Loved how it handled after it was lowered and the adding of the Stiffer rear sway-bar. Got good gas mileage until it had the Lower Intake Manifold gasket leak (Only major issue with he car the whole time I owned it) Wheel bearings were a 2nd issue but nothing like the LIM gasket issue.

March 24, 2012I loved the sportiness of my bright red Alero!! It had awesome get up and go! I would reccomend it to anyone! Other than minor repairs here and there it was pretty easily maintained!! I loved my first 1999 Alero!!
July 28, 2012It has over 160,000 miles and the engine has never been touched. I do all the maintenance and minimal repairs myself. I have owned Oldsmobiles for over 20 years and they are in my opinion the best cars I have ever owned.
June 3, 2009this car rides pretty smooth its good on gas and this car i would recommend to people! this car is reliable and affordable, its worth your money to get this car! so far i have no problems with it! yay :) :)
November 23, 2011Performance - It has a 2.4L I4 that has good acceleration, its light weight, so its easy to brake, handling isnt so great when you stomp on it, because of front wheel drive, but its fine otherwise. I like it because it is a great car for a commuter, also for sport. Build Quality - not bad, its got a few dings and scratches, Im going to put in a new re-ring kit in it, new cylinder heads, new plugs, points, wires, injectors, and pretty much everything else to rebuild it. Appearance - great style, i like it, I just put in a kenwood excelon deck. the bad thing is i got a bad driver door window regulator, but i can live with it for a while. Cost of Ownership - I get anywhere from 24 to 34 miles per gallon with it, and maintenance is fairly cheap.
December 20, 2011great starter car. unique an stylish design. needs some repairs for better performance. very good safety due to the big engine and trunk space. very spacious. not the best accelaration but could beb ecause the air filter needs to be changed. overall, an awesome car.
July 6, 2009I Love my car. Ive owned to since last October. I have spent 300 when I fixed up the engine. I replace the Lower Intake Gaskets on it. It runs great now. Ive never been stranded anywhere it gets me anywhere I need to go.
