Overview & Reviews
A five-speed manual transmission is now available with the four-cylinder engine; an eight-speaker premium sound system is now standard on the GLS (optional on GL); and a refined ABS system and 16-inch wheels are now standard on the GLS.
- 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, numb steering.

Nice Investment - 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
By Drew Anderson - July 20 - 1:23 pmI bought my Alero brand new, and loved it. I got it fully loaded so it makes the car a lot nicer. The only thing thats ever gone wrong for me was the Trans and I had a clogged cat. I replaced the Trans and just put a straight pipe over the cat so its all good. Still love this car and everything i got with it.

My Olds - 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
By Dan Bar - August 4 - 10:00 amGot this car to replace totlly worthless junker of an accord. Bought it used with 28k miles. The 3.4 v6 has good power especially low and middle ranged tourque and the 4 speed hyramatic gives crisp and responsive upshifts and downshifts. Handling is almost as good as a BMW 3 series with the sport suspension and the stereo is really nice as well. Good fuel milage when drivien conservativly but goes down fast when driven hard. Overall I really love this car and will keep even after I get a new caar some 5 years down the road as a collectors Item

By Blcofee - June 10 - 3:43 amThe only problems I have had with my 2001 Oldsmobile Alero are with the intake manifold. My Alero had 31,000 when I purchased and at around 41,000 miles the intake manifold went bad. It was just by the grace on of God that my car was still under warranty! I enjyed driving this car when I first boight it, and I still do. It does have many large blind spots though.

By Dawno - November 16 - 11:16 pmThe 2001 Alero is a sporty looking car for a sedan. I love the power seats,radio,traction control,cruise and easy to use knobs for climate control.

GL2 is a good car. - 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
By DanAlero FromAlegra - June 26 - 10:00 amBeen back to dealer only 2 times in 30,00 miles: once to learn again how to flip down the back seat; once to have the driver window fixed, but it fixed itself (twice) before I went in. The brakes sound funny, but they still work OK. (Other reviewers mention brake problems; maybe Ill check em.) I didnt need the spoiler, but it looks cool. MPG is between 22 and 28; probably would get 32 at 55 mph.

Best Midsize Car - 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
By - October 25 - 10:00 amI purchased my Alero after heavy consideration and comparison. Over a year later I am 100% sure I made the right decision. The cars handling, ergonomics and styling are excellent. This car has given me a newfound love of driving. Resale values are poor, but I will not be selling it anytime soon. The six-cylinder engine moves this car well, with plenty of acceleration. The seats are comfortable and supportive. The cloth seats are very nice but the leather is cheap feeling. To sum it up, if my Alero were totaled in an accident today, I would go out and buy another one.
