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.

  • Suprised its not a Honda! - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
    By -

    Bought it with 20,000 miles. I owned 3 Hondas before this one and I didnt enjoy the reliability. Ive only replaced an alternator (93,000 miles) and a fuel pump (91,000 due to a very bad tank of gas). Thats it outside of regular oil changes, brakes, and tires. This is the best money Ive ever spent on any car. It still runs like it is brand new. For a 4 cyliner it is quite peppy, more than the Honda Civic that was $2K more than the Alero at that time Now, its 2007 and I cant find Aleros anymore? Thats OK. Mine runs fine. Ill keep driving it. GM should re-open the Olds Alero line. This is the best 4-cylinder car for the money GM has made!

  • Another Alero - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero

    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!

  • 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.

  • Loving It! - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
    By -

    I love this car. What I really wanted was a grand am but i couldnt get one due to my credit so i got the closest one to it. I absolutely love this car! It has about 111K on it, it has a few squeals in the front i think its just because I hit a pothole too hard and the ignition sticks a bit but nothing serious so far. I love that it has that sporty feel to it and it beats the hell out of my Mercury Tracer I had.

  • the car that has it all - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
    By -

    this car is a pleasure to be in. it is very comfortable to be in especially on long trips. i have a sun roof which i love and even though its black i dont mind washing it all the time. great choice of a car and im sure ill be happy until i buy another new one in about three years.

  • I definitely got my moneys worth - 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
    By -

    I 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.
