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.

  2002 Alero Sedan GLS - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By John62 - May 30 - 10:00 am

  I have rented the Alero 5 times while on business. I needed a second family car. I like the features for the price. I compared this car to the Grand AM and other similar foreign cars. I purchased the GLS will all the options and the 6 cyl motor. The performance and suspension options make this car perform better than most of the cars in the price category.

  An excellent value - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Chris P. - January 11 - 10:00 am

  After first renting an Alero a year beforehand, and enjoying the experience, I decided to buy one. After driving the car for an average of an hour each way to work for several months, I have found the car to be excellent --- very comfortable, powerful, excellent handling, yet quiet on the highway. And, so far, it hasnt needed any trips to the repair shop (except for oil changes).

  I recently had a baby and feel so safe in my Alero. I wish now I would have purchased a sedan instead of a coupe, they look just as good as the two doors. I love my car, it is the best decision that I have ever made.

  Only real problems...crappy BF Goodrich (Garbage?) tires. They are noisy. And, the front pads wore out at 35000 km.

  Cant part. Its my baby! - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Love it! - September 23 - 5:56 am

  I love my car! I have had it going on 3 yrs and wish it would last forever the way it has been running. From the start I bought it with less then 6,000 miles ( which I must add got an AMAZING deal on it). The only thing I can say so far that has gone wrong is recently (at 50k) my blinkers have been not working ( I think its just a short in the wire?). Other than that, besides retards parking next to me and putting dings in the car, its great! I love this car and would keep it forever but we are looking into possibly selling it to get a newer, AWD crossover (at least my husband keeps telling me we are selling it but we will see about that). Like I said its my baby!

  Driving Performance of Olds Alero - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Earl B. Stiff - May 7 - 2:00 am

  The Olds Alero is a smooth riding car with ample speed to move you down the hiway. Power brakes (antilock) have been very helpful in avoiding near accidents.

  Great vehicle! - 2002 Oldsmobile Alero
  By jtrujillo86 - January 11 - 2:00 am

  I just purchased this car after owning a 1997 Chevrolet Malibu for 2 years (which was hunk of junk by the way). I have the GL1 with the 3.4 liter V6 engine. It is sooooo responsive and compliant, its amazing! The vehicle knows exactly when to downshift and the shifts are smooth and fluid. The traction control is okay on the vehicle, but not nessecary, even in slick weather. There are, however, a few TINY rattles and/or vibrations on the interior. They dont bother me too much, but I plan to get them fixed before the warranty runs dry. The only thing I wish this car had was a spoiler.
