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.

  Cute and Peppy! - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Nikkkii - July 26 - 2:00 am

  The Alero is just cute cute cute! Love the sporty exterior (mine has a spoiler) and the euorpean styling. Ive always driven Toyota/Nissan sports cars and this is my first American choice. I love the appearance, handling and that it doesnt demand as much attention as my past cars which Ive worried would be stolen. Peppy little car that hugs corners well, what more can you want?

  Bought Two Of Them - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By FLORIDA JOE - September 5 - 9:33 am

  My daughter and sister each had their cars totalled. I bought low mileage used Aleros for each of them. At less than 11K for such a feature laden car you cant beat them. They both looked like new cars with very low mileage. They love their new Aleros and I feel good that they are in a dependable car.

  Inexpensive and Pleasing - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Foxy - August 20 - 10:33 am

  The standard 2.2 L engine in the Alero has a bit of torque and is peppy and fun to drive. The Alero coupes appearance is classy, yet sporty enough to be an attractive car. Ive owned my Alero for three years, and while its not an envy-worthy car, I get great gas mileage, and its been VERY inexpensive to maintain. I have had ZERO major problems with my car. Ive only had to repair the lifter on the automatic window. Probably my fault it broke. I paid $10K for my car when it was a year old, and my payments are very low. Id recommend the Alero for anyone (like me) whos fresh out of college, has a limited budget, and needs NICE, affordable transportation.

  WOE MULE!! - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By inkeyjr - June 14 - 10:00 am

  I have been an Olds owner for exactly one year and 3 weeks and already I have racked up a ton of miles. The car is addictive to drive and the acceleration is awsome. Only one thing, the interior is mighty cheap as well as a few minor electrical problems that have started to occur when I hit the 50,000 mile mark. Overall, Id say that this vehicle is great engine wise) however it is not intended for people who want to steer away from speeding tickets.

  By auntjojo - May 18 - 2:00 am

  Its a good little car ,but i have had clogged fuel injectors at under 14000 miles ,also a defective battery replaced. The interior design was a bit chintzy some cup holders and small plastic parts pop out of place easily.I like the design of the outside but i am very mad that it didnt do well in frontal crashes (poor rating) i would have reconsidered the purchase if i had this info before hand!

  The performance is horrible! - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero
  By oklahoma man - May 18 - 12:26 am

  This is a nice car. However, the performance stinks! It takes forever for the the throttle response to kick in. Its like they took this heavy car and put a go cart engine in it! Its loud but not powerful at all! Barley gets up to speed on the highway. I tried to go around a Sunfire and couldnt even do it! But every time I turn the key I know it will start. Oh and the handling is terrible too. And they dont make any performance or upgrades for this car! Nothing!
