What owners say
"Overall, drivers generally love the 2003 Oldsmobile Alero for its fun handling, good looks, and decent performance. Many appreciate the spacious interior and the enjoyable driving experience, especially with the eco-tec engine. On the downside, some drivers mention slow acceleration and lackluster suspension, leading to less impressive handling compared to other performance cars. Additionally, the quality of materials in the interior received some criticism."
This was a great car til the end. It had very little problem mainly because it sat for a year. It was my first car and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice car with good MPG The Oldsmobile Alero is your choice!
July 22, 2011Love my Car! Been nothing but amazing to me since the day I got her.. Good looking car, great handling, great on gas and shes got power.. :) Overall great car
January 27, 2008Love the look and ride. The eco-tec engine is much better than the engine before. It handles higher speeds well, and doesn't feel the excelleration as bad as previous engines in its class. I don't like steel rims and hub caps in general, but the difference on this car is night and day. Aluminium rims look so much nicer on the Alero.

August 18, 2008Performance: Good handling, braking. Lacks power in some situations Quality: Very good, no problems so far, just had to refill fluids and regular maintenance Appearance: Sexy gold color. Chick magnet Cost: good gas mileage and easy maintenance Fun: agile and pretty fun to drive
April 25, 2010It gets awesome gas milage and is a very comfortable car to drive. I have driven it over 2000 miles and back and was such a smooth ride.The car handles well and is fun to drive. Has a good stock stereo system and ample trunk storage space as well. The only thing wrong with this car is it is easily dented as it is not made of steel.
July 17, 2008For the price, totally destroys anything in a similar price range such as a neon, sunfire, cavalier, etc The ride is fairly decent, and paired up with the standard 5 speed transmission it has great acceleration as well. Only repair needed was a wheel bearing and for a 6 year old car that's pretty good. the exterior is pretty sharp on the coupe, minus the enormous rear lights. Interior on the GX is fairly basic. It gets good gas millage if driven economically and maintenance is cheap. It is very fun to drive, and handles great with very little body roll. throttle is very responsive.
October 4, 2009I would recomend this car to everyone because is chic sporty and very comfy. The performance of this car is great i have no complaints abouy it. My car is red and let me tell you what she is soooo fun to drive. I think i've wasted $100 in gas just because i think its fun to drive!
August 15, 2008Has pretty good passing power, but slow acceleration. The newer Alero's have more and better options like power seats.
January 7, 2008It has a nice look for it's class of car (compared to sunflowers and cavaliers), it has a curvy/slick body and a decent interior for a 2003. There is quite a bit of room in the back for a 2-door... Handling is great, braking is great, acceleration sucks... but thats just the deal when you buy this kind of car. It's not bad on gas, depending on how you drive it. Thanks to the handling and its cute look, the car is fun to drive... but I would like more acceleration/speed. Just gonna have to spend the money for it with a new car later one!
April 7, 2010overall this is a fun car to drive keeping in mind that it is not a race car or a high end sports car. the Alero's have excellent leg room and head room making it easy for tall people to comfortably drive. performance wise the Alero was Available with 4 or 6 cylinder engines the 6 cylinder 3400 power plant came with about 170 hp and the 4 cylinder with 150 hp in the older 2.4L engine and 140hp in the newer 2.2L. unfortunately the car's were built with run of the mill suspension systems that were far from impressive and gave the car ugly wheel gap. Appearance wise the car is rather sporty for a family car and with little research and custom modifications you can make the Alero even more appealing. although the interior is rather weak. as for the cost in owning Alero is pretty much the same as any other economical American made car, but keep in mind these cars will require regular maintenance and you can expect your average ware and tear. and for anyone looking to modify their Alero there are plenty of parts and accessories available for the Alero, but you'll have to put in a little bit of research.
