This Year's Model Updates:

As the Olds brand heads into the sunset, the Alero receives only minor changes. Sport Red is a new exterior color, and the six-speaker stereo has been downgraded to four speakers.

Pros:
  • Sleek styling, brisk performance and handling, user-friendly cockpit design, well-equipped standard model.
Cons:
  • Low-grade interior materials, poor frontal offset crash test score, numb steering, poor resale value.

  • Why does this car exist? - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
    By -

    I cant imagine why anyone actually likes this car. Its uncomfortable, the brakes are terrible, the interior is very cheap, and the steering in loose. This car is why Americans by more foreign cars. Thank goodness this is a "company" car for me. I drive a VW Passat, and the difference is incredible. I cant believe, my car costs almost the same! The Passat isnt the greatest sedan, but it feels 100 times more solid and upscale then then this hunk o junk.

  • Alero: Good Buy, Good-bye - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
    By -

    This Olds ends its run in fine form. Very good build quality, excellent acceleration for a four cylinder, comfortable interior and good driving experience. Handles well in snow and ice with traction control and abs option. Good for stop and go with family or solo highway driving. Good gas mileage.$4000 rebate is attractive.

    Outstanding, very good car it was worth every penny. ive have not had one problem since day one.

  • Best for the Money - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
    By -

    This is a beautifully designed sweet running car. Sure I might like some more Hot Rod Power with a heavy foot on the highway but Im not willing to give up the nice mileage to get it. Well over a year now and not the first problem. Great sound system, great comfort, nice leather, feels good to drive and you and the wife can each have one for the cost of a small BMW that really is no better and certainly doesnt have a five year warranty.

    I just recently purchased this car, and, I love it. I have never owned a car this new before, but, I love the new car feel. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for an inexpensive alternative to higher priced and highly overrated Import cars.

  • A great surprise - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
    By -

    Im finding out what a great car I bought in my 2004 Oldsmobile Alero GL1! Its champagne, with "oak" interior. I love the power seats and comfort, plus the satilite radio. I enjoy having a classy little car without it costing more than my first home.
