Overview & Reviews

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.

• Sleek styling, brisk performance and handling, user-friendly cockpit design, well-equipped standard model.

• Low-grade interior materials, poor frontal offset crash test score, numb steering, poor resale value.

  174,000 miles and still going - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By danroberts1964 - April 13 - 5:20 am

  I bought my car used 2 years ago and it now has 174,000 miles on it and its still going strong. Only problems I have had was the fuel pump and the alternator went out. Oh and the pass key thing had problems but there is a easy fix for that if you Google it and it consists of a inexpensive diode being soldered into the wiring. Would I recommend this car even with the high miles mine has.... You bet I would.

  nimble little two door - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By vespagl - March 15 - 2:00 am

  This has been a fun car to own...lots of pep and good handling for a modestly priced car. Styling is very attractive and more than a few folk have commented on how nice this little "European coupe" was. I love the fold down rear seats for when the trunk needs to hold large items. I am gonna miss Olds when they go.

  It was fun ! - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Fun car - December 12 - 12:13 am

  I owned this car for 3 years. For the most part, I really liked it. It wasnt a roomy car. Taller people had a hard time with the leg room and the head room. There was some clinking noise behind the radio, they couldnt figure out. The drivers door window seal wasnt tight, and would sometimes leak water when it rained. In the winter time I had the most problems.The drivers door wouldnt latch tight when I shut it every time. I would have to spray W-D 40 on it for it to shut properly. The worst part was the brakes. If I hit snow or ice, especially going downhill, there was no stopping the car. The brakes sounded as if they were grinding, bad. All in all, it was a smooth ride.

  Great car never had a problem with it. You feel comfortable in it, look stylish, and feel smart because you didnt pay a fortune for it.

  Family Car - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By aldhur - December 6 - 3:27 pm

  For the price we paid, this is a wonderful family car. There is more than enough trunk space to carry our baby stroller and a full cart of groceries. Gas mileage is decent: we average between 20-25 MPG.

  Fun car to drive!!! - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By sweetheart29 - July 22 - 10:00 am

  I have always dreamed of owning this car since they first came out, but was never in the market for one since I already owned two reliable cars. It didnt seem like much since to buy a third until my husband was in an accident with our one car, so then it was perfect timing to buy a 2004 and we are so happy with it. Its very fun to drive and you get lots of looks from people and compliments.

  Olds Alero; Not Just for the Older Set - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By fourjs - June 20 - 2:00 am

  We purchased this car from an individual. We had never been big fans of the Oldsmobile line, thinking this was an "old" persons car. However, we test drove this car and were blown away. The Alero drives very well, with clean reaction to steering and is very comfortable to boot. Its a nice size for the family and yet is very sporty. We couldnt beat the price either, bought it for under 5,000.00 (2000 model, w/47,000 miles and light hail damage) and still are happy after almost a year. The only complaint is that there is alot of road noise.
