Overview & Reviews

A performance suspension is newly optional on GL models. The four-cylinder gets a composite intake manifold, while all models benefit from the addition of three rear-shelf anchors for child safety-seat restraints. If glitz is your thing, you can now opt for a new gold package on GL and GLS versions.

• Sleek styling, brisk performance and handling, ergonomically designed interior, well-equipped standard model.

• Hint of cheapness to interior bits, unrefined engine noise intrudes into passenger compartment, ugly cloth fabric pattern on GX and GL.

  Alero - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Konrad Romero - November 28 - 10:00 am

  I have owned the car for almost 3 years and I have to commute 100 miles a day. The car has been great. I do all of my service to the vehicle. The performance and reliability is all there. I have to count on this car daily. I have not had any major mechanical flaws. The only problem was the passenger’s window regulator went out on the vehicle about 60,000 miles. Currently I have 87,000 miles on the car. I highly recommend changing the fuel filter frequently about every 20,000 miles. The car is close to being stock; I have a K&N air filter and Bosch 4 prong platinum plugs which made a difference in performance and fuel economy. I am very pleased with this car.

  By chris - June 2 - 10:00 am

  My wife bought this car Brand New from the dealer. weve had it for 10 yrs now and its been wonderful. Very few problems the fuel pump went at 70k which i hear is very common, and weve replaced all the power window switches. everything else is great, very fun to drive and very roomy. Im trading it in and Im going to miss this car.

  B-E-A-UTIFUL! - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By SkaterHick - May 23 - 6:16 am

  Over all an amazing car. Reliable, handles well in the snow, and over all speedy. the only draw backs would be a wavy interior on the dash.

  Reliable and Stylish - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By lisa - May 5 - 4:23 pm

  I never had a problem with either one of my Aleros. I owned a 99 and then a 2000! Oldsmobile finally came out with a beautiful, fun car that blew Pontiac and Buick out of the water.

  Great Car - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By bquintan2000 - August 15 - 10:00 am

  I have owned the Alero GLS for the past 3 years and have been very pleased with the car. Like everyone else, my rotors went bad and had to be turned. However, that did not occur until 43,000 miles. The car handles great at high and slow speeds. Great interior, but will recommend having leather as oppose to the cheap cloth seats. I have never had to take my Alero to the shop since I purchased it 3 years ago. My Alero was supped up by the dealer and everybody mistakes it for a Mustang. Depreciation is poor. Did not retain its value, very disappointed!

  Good Solid Vehicle - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By My Review - July 8 - 12:20 am

  I bought my 00 Alero brand new. I was going to purchase a Grand Am, but once I drove the Alero, I knew it was the right choice. I have the GLS V6 2- door. I dont know if this is different than some of the bad reviews Ive read on this site or not, but my Alero has been great. I have 140K miles on it, and my mechanic says that it is still running strong. I feel it is a solid car.

  Trouble free vehicle - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By jqxwl - March 11 - 10:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle on 6/18/2000. Besides regular services, I have never brought it to car garage! And it is still in great shape! Very stable and reliable!

  Fits Like a Glove - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Alero Boy - October 9 - 10:00 am

  I bought my first Alero GLS Sedan in 2000. I loved this car since I first saw it in 98 at the Auto Show. Its a good mix sportiness and class. The brake rotors are worthless. I went through 4 sets, all during the warranty. The intake manifold gasket needed to be replaced at 50k, which was after warranty period. I sold 4 of my friends on Alero & they also had the same problems and nothing more. I traded in for an 03 GLS Coupe this passed February to take advantage of the $5000 in rebates I qualified for. Too bad GM is dropping Olds; its the only division that actually has what it takes to compete with the imports.

  Like the car, but not the problems - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Lynette - March 15 - 2:00 am

  I liked how it looked(sort of like a Mustang).The first year I had my gear shift break. I did have problems with my turn signal. It wouldnt work, unless I hit the hazzard lights and then turn the hazzard lights off quickly. ROTOR problems...it eats them up! I found out that it is actually a design problem that I think GM should have a recall on. The tires are not rotating straight, but at an angle, like a shimmy....they need to shim the rotors to fix the problem...but of course youll have to pay for it! The tires will cost you about $500. Its hard to tell when the AC light is on in the day time. The dash is peeling on the drivers side.
