Overview & Reviews
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.
- Sleek styling, brisk performance and handling, ergonomically intelligent interior, well-equipped standard model.
- Hint of cheapness to interior bits, numb steering, poor resale value.

I definitely got my moneys worth - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
By kjr75 - August 20 - 6:43 pmI bought a new 2003 Alero back in June 2003. I definitely got my moneys worth as I just passed the 183,000 mile mark. Sad to say the time has now come to get a new car as there are issues with the cylinder heads under the gasket not responding and long story short Pep boys wants to charge $3,000 to replace. The car itself is probably worth 1k with as many miles on it. After 9.5yrs and 183,000 miles it definitely has done its job. Looking for either a new Sonata Turbo or used 2012 Buick Lacrosse. I dont think I can go wrong either way as I take these cars to the grave so I really dont care much about resale value.

My Last Olds - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
By Melodance - August 2 - 2:00 amMy last Olds only because GM is phasing them out. Owned Olds cars for 20 years. Overall very satisfied with this car and am glad I purchased it. Have received many compliments on the vehicle. I feel my 1993 Achieva had a little better gas mileage, but Alero delivers and handles well. Good in the city and on the road. Very sad that GM is closing the division. All my Oldsmobiles have been reliable, dependable cars with only required maintenance. Hoping this Alero follows suit--so far its showing it will. Worth considering!

Alero is a great car - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
By johnpelder - June 19 - 10:00 amEvery aspect of this car has been outstanding. Fit and finish are first rate. The GX sport package is a great value, and the 5-speed getrag tranny is very tight and crisp. Im not usually a fan of 4 cylinder engines, but the 2.2 ecotec is super smooth, yet still torquey.

Electrical Nightmare - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
By jpbrown - January 6 - 2:00 amThis car is by far the most unreliable vehicle I ever had. After only four months the car began to exhibit major electrical defects and for the next five months it has been in and out of the shop almost every other week since. Gm maintains the car is sound, but the service department has been unable to correct the issue.

Love the Alero - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
By Darina Popova - November 15 - 9:46 pmThis is the best car I have bought ever. I was worried about the gas costs and the power but it has worked out great.

Good - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
By Friendly Helper - October 30 - 2:00 amI got this car as my second car. Before I was driving a 1994 Olds LSS. Even though this is a lower endmodel than the LSS was at the time it was made I tend to like this car more because it comes with alot of features such as cd which my old car did not have. The stereo was not as good as the lss unofrtunately, but what can you expect from a cheaper car I guess.

Great ride - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
By BlondieT - October 7 - 2:00 amI actually have a 2001. I have been very pleased with this car overall. One problem with the turn signals. They needed replacement. Other owners I talked to said they experienced the same thing - blinkers would work some times and not others.
