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.

  All smiles until 40,000 miles - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Alero owner - May 4 - 10:00 am

  This car ran wonderfully until it hit 40,000 miles, since than many minor and major things have broken. In the past year, 15,000 miles, it has been in the shop 7 times. Water pumps, window regulators, intake manifolds, the ABS harness...and countless more. Beware, if you by an Alero make sure to buy the extended warranty.

  Quick and Sweet - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By foxyfennec - October 3 - 5:43 am

  I have owned my Olds Alero Coupe for almost two years...Oldsmobiles were a family tradition, and I was pleased to be able to own this classy little car before Olds was canned for good. I favor the Alero because its not a dorky car, and its not a boring Honda/Toyota. Its exterior design has a lot of personality and class. I get a lot of looks of approval in my little gal, and shes as stock as the day I bought her! So far, I have had ZERO problems with this car. She is very reliable and so much fun to drive. The Alero is quite possibly the most underrated car of the decade. Needless to say, Ive gotten my moneys worth, and a whole lot more.

  Wonderful Car - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Zam4psu - August 26 - 2:00 am

  My mother purchased a 2000 Alero GL2 almost 4 years ago and I loved it so much that when I finally needed a new car I went right back to the dealership we always go to and purchased one for myself. My 2003 Alero GLS 2-door is a wonderful car that rides, drives, and performs beautifully! I did try several other cars out before I made my final decision by the Alero was the only car that I completely happy with every aspect of it. Too bad GM has decided to take eliminate Oldsmobile, I would definitely have purchased another new Alero in the future!

  What a deal..... - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By vodie - March 28 - 10:00 am

  I needed to replace a mini-van that was worn out and I was plain tired of minivans. Honda Element... too wierd, Honda Civic..too small, Accord...too $$. I have owned a couple Hondas and they have the occasional quality issue anemic heaters etc. A used car lot had a Buick Rendez. and noticed a dozen 2004 Alero program cars. They were clean, comfortable, and CHEAP. I got an 6cyl, with ABS, power seat, CD and wing. Hey this is comfy and I was out the door for $11000 and they took my Chevy APV with a bad tranny on trade. The Alero is nice, ABS is good compared to the unrefined ABS Chevy put in the APV in 1995. There is a fit problem with the center dash vent. I am HAPPY and NOT car poor.

  I love my car!!! - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Avalon - January 13 - 10:00 am

  I love my Alero! Since the first year they came out I had my eye on them and finally I was able to buy one. Its sporty looking, yet good for the whole family! It treats me well and I plan to do the same to it.

  Alero Fever - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Alero Kurt - January 8 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Alero purchase. We also own a 2001 GL2 Sedan. I love both cars as they are both GL2 sedans; however, the 2004 is missing many features that were standard in 2001 (lighted rear view mirror, vanity mirror on passengers side, no sun- glass storage compartment on the ceiling (just an empty hole), 2 less speakers (only 4 was 6) but same radio, no flip up drink cover next to driver and no cargo net or ancors in the trunk. I know its the last production year but please remember I am a loyal owner and paying good money for a car that looks exactly like the 2001, performs like the 2001 but is missing tons of little extras. OUCH!!!

  An excellent automobile - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By TERRIFIC - November 17 - 10:10 pm

  I love my Alero. It has the 4 cylinder redesigned engine and I could not want more. The ride is very comfortable and the highway driving is exceptional. It hugs the road and "drives itself." Ive never had a better steering car. GM got it right with steering ratio, turning effort, return, etc. its the best. Low noise level at highway speed is exceptional. NO wind noise. All around a great car. Also,factory speakers sound great, no need to upgrade.
