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.

  Do Not BUY THIS CAR! - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By redlovely1 - January 26 - 10:00 am

  I was in love with my Alero when I first bought it. However, its safety rating dropped and my auto insurance increased. Also it has this annoying clicking noise behind the hazard switch that the dealerships could not fix while it was under warranty and I took it 3 times. They kept changing the hazard switch, but the clicking continued. This car had lots of power, but with high miles (mine had 77K) it is worth $1 and starts having problems other cars would have at 100K +. Brakes were an issue.

  I Love Oldsmobiles! - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Jennifer Carnahan - December 25 - 2:16 pm

  Bought my 2000 Alero used in 2005 when it had about 86,000 miles on it. I have never had a problem with my car. It has been a great first vehicle for me. Still runs great with 130,000 miles on it.

  Wish I hadnt - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Unhappy - December 21 - 3:20 pm

  I bought an Oldsmobile Alero because of its easy handling. I wish I hadnt. Luckily some of the problems have been covered under the warranty, but now thats up and I might as well have a car payment with the money I spend on the thing. Ive replaced the rotors, brakes, cruise control and much more. The interior is falling apart with the upolstery sundamaging very very easily. I wouldnt recommend this car to anyone at all.

  great car for my family - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By alleng - August 21 - 10:00 am

  I have really enjoyed this car. Has performed well for what I needed. If you are a traveler, probably not the best option, but does well for teenagers and small families. Ive had one brake problem. No other major issues. Gas milleage is great!

  Stay away from this car. - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Aubreysdad - August 3 - 10:00 am

  Bought used from CarMax dealer. After two months (only 29k miles on car), fuel pump has to be replaced, side mirror breaks off and replaced, dash starts peeling away and repaired, shifter nob breaks and replaced. Sure, a little less expensive than Japanese, but youll pay more in the long run. Went back to CarMax, took $1800 hickie on appraisal, and traded in for Honda.

  loved it! - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By lovedmyalero - June 7 - 10:00 am

  I just traded in my alero gl 4dr for an suv. But I really miss it! The car was fun to drive. I put 30,000 miles on it with just some minor problems all covered under the warranty. It can do 0 to 60 in just seconds. Its fast, racey and great looking. I feel like Im driving a sports car. Too bad they are not made anymore. I had to trade it in because I needed a 4wd car. But otherwise, I loved it and I miss it.

  What happened to quality? - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By ScottCAL - May 30 - 12:56 pm

  I leased this vehicle prior to Oldsmobile being phased out by GM. Now two years into the lease I can see why. Over the past 2 years I have had my rotors replaced twice, struts replaced, electrical problems and numerous body/integrity issues. This is not a low end nor cheap vehicle but the problems have been way too numerous and bothersum. Next time Ill looking to Toyota, Honda or even Subaru - Ill try my luck with them...

  About to retire black beauty after 291,000km - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By mcalpine - March 21 - 1:29 am

  I bought this car years ago used from a car dealer in Scarborough. It was very cheap (probably because of 5spd gear box and dent in hood) and my expectations were quite low. I just needed a car for the winter. It lasted a LOT longer than one winter. The 2.4l engine feels gutless in normal driving but when you put your foot down it picks up the pace nicely, albeit with plenty of noise which seems to be typical of GM four cylinders. I have full records of what has been replaced from new: Connecting pipe, small vacuum hose, blower motor resistor, rear window heating module, rear speakers, all struts/shocks/springs, gas cap, brakes x3 with new calipers, emerg brake cable, drivers seat back.

  Worst Car I Have Ever Owned! - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By nick - November 1 - 7:56 pm

  This looked like a really nice car. The first year changed that! Constant brake problems, transmisson problems, and broken interior switches. After about 4 years and 80,000 miles all sorts of things went wrong! I replaced alternator, starter, fuel pump, wheel bearings, and the ignition system( because a cheaply made plastic cover cracked and fried the whole system!) Olsmobile would look for any reason not to honor the warranty and were constantly difficult to deal with! I can see why they went out of business. It is too bad, I paid a lot of money for a very poorly made car and I will never buy American again! It is really too bad!

  Still Lovin it... - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By ang - September 21 - 10:26 am

  So, I bought this car for its looks. Im still loving it. I had to replace its brakes and rotors, my husband says I ride the brakes though. Also, I had to get a new water pump in 2004. To get to the point...I have three young kids and am a full time student, this car keeps up with all of us and has never left us on the side of the road! We do live in a hilly area and sometimes find that the tranny slips going up steep hills. I too love the automatic lights and convenient map lights. Oh, when I got this car it was missing the hazard lights? Im not sure what that was all about.
