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.

CAUTION! - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
By CAUTION!!!! - January 16 - 3:00 amBought my Alero because I had rented one once and fell in love with its performance and ride. It is really fast for a coupe. If you are considering buying one from a dealer you better get the extended warranty! I have replaced the rotors on the front (big problem with Aleros). The lower intake gasket leaked so that screwed up the antifreeze. The resistor that controls the blower motor burned out. There is a rattling noise in front suspension that I cant seem to find. Fortunately I got the extended warranty! Id be out a few thousand if I hadnt. Depreciation is ridiculous! Paid $11,000 for it in 2002 and its now worth $6,000 retail/$4,000 trade. I owe $8000.

Great College Car - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
By luminesa - January 8 - 10:00 amMy parents and I bought this car for my use during college. It gets wonderful fuel mileage, which is great for all of the driving I do. The space available to load my luggage in is also wonderful. The body of the car is very stylish--great for a young student.

It was a good car when I was 18! - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
By Steph - September 11 - 10:53 amI have had this car for 5 years now. So far I have replaced the brakes/roters every year. I had to replace the radiator in 04. Recently it has been constantly overheating. I went in today and they told me the head was cracked and the pistons were loose! I have put more money in repairs then what I bought it for! Off to the dealership to by a different car!

Do your research before purchasing - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
By Craftina - April 1 - 10:00 amWe bought this car when it was already a year old with about 36K miles on it. About 2 months after we got it, the radio has this problem where it wont stay programmed. We have to turn it on every single time we turn the car on. The dealership didnt know why it was doing that, so it never got fixed. It just left my familystranded on the high way after the fule pump went out in the middle of Alabama (we lived in NC. That among various other repairs needed that I dont have room for. Just do your research.

So near and yet so far - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
By rdeschene - January 24 - 10:00 amMy wife and I both love this car - torquey V6, good handling and steering, about 30mpg(US) hwy, very comfortable front seats, good visibility, nice styling with the rear spoiler, decent price as a 1yr old car. What has been disappointing are the mechanical failures which I KNOW GM knows how to prevent -- I didnt have any of these problems with my previous Corsica. At 107,000km we have replaced both front bearings, the fuel tank sender, the interior fan resistor and the button on the auto shifter TWICE. I am quite certain GM knows how to make front bearings that dont wearout in 100,000km. Theres no excuse for it and it makes me hesitant to buy GM next time.

Its not a Honda - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
By A-guy - January 11 - 10:00 amPurchased this car new and have had my share of ups and downs. Fortunately, the car had been under warranty. for my share of problems: Warpped rotors, leak in windshield, buckled material on the dashboard, leak in pass/rear door seal, rt ft shock mount. * never stranded. Now I am worried about what is to become of this car for the next few years. Not to mention the value. The rapid depreciation is main reason why I still own this car, the other reason is that, aside from all of the problems, I really love the car. There is something about it that allows me to look past the problems. Hopefully I will not have any major issues to change my mind.

Too many flaws!!! - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
By grimbaldi - October 12 - 10:00 amI purchased my Alero GL equipped with the 2.4L engine 2DR with approx. 19,000 miles on it as a program vehicle. Within the 1st 6 months of owning this vehicle I had to have the following items fixed/replaced: Replaced Struts Reseal rear windshield Re-mount trunk Deck lid Drivers side window fell into door (broken power window mech.) Had to replace Rotors @ 38,000 miles Aside from these problems the car has not been too bad thus far. Engine & road noise is a considerable detriment to this car. Also the deflation of the cars value has been extremely disappointing!!! This car becomes practically worthless not long after owning it.

Great car for less! - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
By Espfire - September 22 - 10:00 amI feel the Oldsmobile division has taken a major criticism for a lineup that rivals Buick and Pontiac. Redesigned cars from the year 2000. The models have been safe, reliable and have outstanding body designs. Though a little behind in overall quality from Toyota and Honda, it really outshines Ford and the previously mentioned GM divisions. It will be a shame to see Oldsmobile go. People were catching on to the new look and feel of Olds and now GM simply gave up on a lineup that was making headway in a full market.
