This Year's Model Updates:

Any music lovers out there? For 2003, the Alero expands its scope of available sounds by offering XM Satellite Radio as an option. It's the only Oldsmobile to do so.

Pros:
  • Sleek styling, brisk performance and handling, ergonomically intelligent interior, well-equipped standard model.
Cons:
  • Hint of cheapness to interior bits, numb steering, poor resale value.

    I traded in my 00 Alero GLS sedan for this 03 GLS coupe in February because of the $5000 in rebates I qualified for. The new one seems less quality. My tailights are not sealed properly, so when rains, the water gets in & there has actually been sparks in there so the inside of the tail lights are burnt. The Tire Pressure monitor was eliminated for 03 and the hood in the 00 has struts, but they changed to prop rod in 2001. Nonetheless, its still the perfect car for me. I would like to get one of the Final 500 next year, but if not, Ill just hold on to this one.

    A great car. This is my second car.... after a 2000 Inifiniti G20. This V6 is so awesome! I hope this car will last the rest of my life! Very powerful, excellent steering radius, and a well rounded car! Always fun to drive. I love speeding past those fancy BMWs on the highway! A MUST BUY!

    The dials and some buttons on the dash have had to be replaced under warranty. They have also lost some of their black coating, I am not sure why this happened. Also, the ignition switch went out at 38,000 miles.

    I bought this car in 2006 with 63,000 miles on it. I have driven it for exactly two years now and have changed both bearings in front two times. Right now, it looks like I need to change them again. I will be driving it for straight 1700 miles, of course with sleeping breaks as long as 6 hours. I will know after this trip if this car is truly a good one.

  • 8 years with a used Alero. - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero

    I purchased this car when it was 5 years old, that was 8 years ago. I have had only one major issue with it. The drivers side window regulator has gone out and cost too much to replace. Never had issue one with the motor, struts, electronics (other than the regulator) If you treat this car right it will not let you down. Keep up with all regular maintenance and it will last years. Handles really well and an easy ride for long trips. Before you buy any new car make sure it was taken good care of. If it wasnt, walk away.

  • So So, Nothing Special - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero

    First off the brake design of this car is horrible. Ive already had to put in new brake pads and have the rotors turned twice. The car has less than 50,000 miles on it. The gas mileage varies from 22 to 30 depending on oil changes, driving conditions...etc. Its seats arent really that comfy and the interior looks cheap. You definitely pay for what you get. I wont ever by another GM, next time its a Honda or Toyota.

  • I Love My Alero!!!! - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
    By -

    I bought this car about a month ago after trading in one of the worst cars I have ever owned. Needless to say I love this car....it is very reliable and it is fun to drive. It is also very sporty and it is fun to be seen in as well.
