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 Caseyc - December 29 - 2:00 am

  This car is mediocre at best. I have had numberous problems with this car. In the 3 years I have owned this car, I have replaced the brakes 5 times, the cruise quit working, the middle overhead light pops out and falls out on occasion, the upholstry on the dash has begun to pull up, both of the electric front windows have broke twice, the right front sun visor clip broke and my blinkers quit working. I definitely would not recommend purchasing this vehicle.

  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.

  GM fooled me once but never again! - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By ihateGM! - November 26 - 10:00 am

  This was my first new car buy ever. Peeling dashboard at 36K miles, rack & pinion and tie rods needed replaced at 38K miles. And Ill spare you all the other repairs under $500. Yes, Im still driving it after 10 years, but when your car has $0 trade-in value at year 4, what choice does one have? (The dealer says to replace the dashboard is over $2000 to repair). My father was UAW and I never thought Id say this but my next car wont be an American brand. GM, shame on you! The government bailout money will be the last penny of mine youll ever get from me.

  Good Car - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By Mr. Markus - September 27 - 10:00 am

  This has been a very good car overall. Especially like the traction control and ABS. On the highway this car gets over 30 miles to the gallon, with the air conditioner on. Small problems, strut broke, driver window power motor, but all were fixed with the warranty.

  LEMON CAR - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By bethany - August 18 - 10:00 am

  3.4L v6. 03/00 75633mls, leather interior, 11,000 from a dealership the biggest mistake i made. Nice looking car, but the quality sucks! Lets see the cruise control doesnt work, half the time my blinker lights go out, upholstry on the dashboard is peeling, something wrong with the gas gauge, passenger side window dropped down, the cd player goes out sometimes, coolant leaks, passenger side door is hard to open, twice the engine had to be fixed, sometimes the engine doest turn over, no matter how much or how many time you refill the coolant the coolant light doesnt go off. i think because of the coolant problem the engine makes noises.

  Im going to miss this car - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  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.

  Do Not Buy This Car - 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
  By hatethiscar - February 8 - 2:03 pm

  I bought my Alero in 2002. The drivetrain has been fairly reliable except for some suspension problems. The real problem for me has been with the interior bits. Among other things, Ive run into: 1. Two speakers inexplicably stopped working. The worked just fined once I replaced them (with original wiring even). 2. The A/C controls are messed up. The fan will only work on the two highest settings. 3. It has a peeling dash. 4. I have four (count em!) non-working power windows. Ive had both front windows repaired multiple times, but they never seem to work longer than 6-8 months before failing again. This is, far and away, the most annoying problem Ive had with the car.
