Overview & Reviews

The biggest news for the 2002 Alero is an all-new four-cylinder engine on GX and GL1 models. Redesigned 15-inch wheels, a revamped interior console and two new exterior colors round out this year's changes.

• Sleek styling, brisk performance and handling, ergonomically intelligent interior, well-equipped standard model.

• Hint of cheapness to interior bits, numb steering, resale value may suffer.

  runs great even after 155,000 miles if you take care of it - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By superstar1213 - April 25 - 6:28 pm

  I have 175,XXX miles on my Alero and it is running great!! For those of you who are talking crap about this car is obviously not taking care of it very well. If you take care of a car and maintain it, it will last a long time. I know a man who has a 1989 gmc safari van with almost 500,000 miles on it and still drives it to work every day! Take car of your vehicles and they will run forever!

  Two-Faced - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Chris - March 18 - 1:36 am

  Ive had this car for approximatly three months now and shes been trouble at some points and a joy to drive during others. Ive blown a window regulator, have the hazard switch short, and have a gasket leak (oil leaking from car). If you can pick one up thats free of problems, by all means, do so. Its a truly fun car to drive.

  Watch for the brakes and windows... - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By butterfly5180 - March 15 - 2:00 am

  LuV Car! I practically kiss gnight, but experienced a few problems. The car after 2 yrs Ive had new windows due to scratching, warranty fixed. However, when brakes need replaced do IMMEDIATELY. Had to wait 2 wks brakes had 1% on pad the other nothing left. Braking was metal 2 metal there is metal ALL OVER vehicle. My chrome rims scrubbed still hasnt removed rust color spray from rims. Unhappy becuz its all over exterior of car as well, spent 3-4 hours scrubbing and cant get all off. Windshield is fogged needs replaced, upset I take care of vehicle car seems ruined. Also the seek button paint has worn off immediately.

  2-Year Review - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Vicky - December 14 - 2:00 am

  I would not recommend this car. I have driven nothing but oldsmobile but next time will switch to Toyota. Customer Service should be called NO customer service as they could care less about you once you have driven off with the car and it is yours. Gas mileage is horrible, steering wheel shakes and brakes make a noise when you back up when you first start up the car. I will tell everyone to stay away from oldsmobile!

  I wish I could get one in 2003! - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By dreamin02 - November 24 - 2:00 am

  I liked my 2002 so much that I went to buy another one in 2003. The dealership salesman told me nothing had changed between the model years. ABS is "Optional" Traction control is "Optional" CD Player is "Optional" but seems to be included on the cars. The warranty has been reduced dramatically. The performance doesnt feel as good as on the 2002. Is this the same suspension package???

  costs way to much for what you get - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Lisa S - September 3 - 10:00 am

  This car gets horrible gas milage for a 4cylinder car, both city and highways miles. It has lots of rode noise and is very rickety sounding, meaning the inside like the doors are making noises like creeking noises as you are driving down the rode. Considering this car will cost you 18K to 20K brand new there is no reason for it to be this horrilble of a car!! I would expect this from like a cheap car like around 10K to 15K

  The Great Alero - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By 7ate9 - July 11 - 5:46 pm

  My wife and I purchased this 02 Alero in the fall of 01. It was for her and she wanted something sporty with a little extra room and comfort features. We looked at others, but the Alero seemed a good choice for the dollar. We got everything except for the sunroof. What a machine! This is one fast V-6. Off the line or in the lane. We followed the maint schedules and 122000 miles later it still looks great and running like a top. First 5 years reg- maint all 100% orginal looking for 3rd set of tires. This past year I replaced the gaskets, sensors, fuel pump & filter. A new battery(3),more.. about $3,000 Garenteed to last another 4-5 years. Except for that damn dash, starts to peel after 1yr
