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.

  Terrible Resale Value - 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Jay - June 18 - 8:50 am

  I have had every single problem that you can think of from brakes going to the check engine light going on and off. I bought this car new and traded in a 97 Nissan Maxima that worked and sounded better then the new car. I tried to take the car back to the dealership because I knew I made a mistake but they would have no part of it. I paid $21,000.00 for a car that I can not get a Happy Meal and five bucks for today (poor resale value). I really do not like this car, and I rather go into more debt and get rid of it then to drive it another day.

  The 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.

  This is an Alero V6, GLS model. The car is fast and the v6 easily pushes the car down the road. Lots of nice interior dials and controls. Great Service from the dealership! Sporty car.

  One big headache - 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Stay Clear - February 6 - 2:00 am

  Very nice looking vehicle,but its one problem after another,and the service is a joke.My vehicle has 24,500 miles and has already has had 3 complete brake jobs due to warped rotors,and has been to the dealer on 12 occasions for other problems.I highly recommend staying clear of this vehicle,unless you want mine!If the later of the two is the case, disregard anything I stated earlier,its a great car!

  The 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.

  Over 220,000 and still running strong - 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Curt - November 2 - 3:06 pm

  I brought this car in 04 used with only 30,000 miles. Now its 2010 with 220,458 and still running. Just minor repairs (oil change, minor tune-up, brakes & tires). Im still shocked over how reliable this car is.

  Not too many problems... - 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
  By mynameisalreadyinuse - September 8 - 10:00 am

  I havent really had too many problems. In fact, the only ones Ive had were minor. I did have one that upset me, though. Both of my fog lights shattered and I needed to buy new ones. Other than that, my car still looks new and runs great (for having 50k miles on it)!

  GL2 is a good car. - 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
  By DanAlero FromAlegra - June 26 - 10:00 am

  Been 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.

  All About Alero - 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Alero Owner - April 14 - 10:00 am

  This car is fun to drive. The only thing that has happened to it is the leather wrap around the hand brake needs to be re-stitched. There have been no mechanical problems at all. Not much leg room in the back, especially with for kids in car seats. They will probably get their legs broken if we get in an accident. Other complaint is the small gas tank. Only holds fourteen gallons. Most I can go without having to re-fill is a little over 300 miles per tank. Around town, only about 270 miles per tank. Great car if you dont have kids.

  Car is fun to drive, seems solid and well put together. No problems, loaded with features not found in competition.
