This has been a dependable automobile. I have had very little trouble with my Alero. It's fun to drive.

Bought this car as a storm damaged r- titled car, tree fell accross the hood. Been driving for almost 2yrs. only thing replaced was a fuel regulator. Gets 34mpg hwy/ 24city. Keeps up w/ the best from Germany. Still has the original BFG's with 55k miles. With traction contol I was never stranded in our Pittsburgh snow,(66"). Gobbs of room, should have seen me, my wife and 2kids coming back from the grandparents in NC @ Christmas.

Purchased 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.

Good car. Had a couple small fixes by the dealer (fan switch, hazard button), crankshaft position indicator by independent shop, nothing major. Might be not the best for long trips, front seat a little firm. Easy on tires and brakes. Really like the visor. Can be adjusted for any position including low sun in face. only problem was the crankshaft position indicator failed after 12 years. Spark plugs lasted 14 years. A little awkward to change the serpentine belt; had to jack up the engine and unbolt engine mount to get the belt out.

If your looking for a car that runs till 300-400k miles without a engine or transmission going this is the car. Have had to fix a couple things but nothing expensive, small miner things. Break pads, ignition starter, alternator, etc but nothing expensive. Old car. Price for parts are cheap. I had a relative that had this car and it ran till 400k then the engine went. Great car for a teenager that just needs a car to get to point A to B. Engine is great get the 3.4L 6cy, great engine any mechanic will tell you that. The 2.4L 4cy however is JUNK! My 6cy alero has 165k on it and I still love it. Nothing big went out. Great car. Don’t listen to these other people! If you take good care of the car it will last you forever.

My first car ever was a '72 Nova SS. The mechanic saw this car more than I did. This experience made me vow to never own an American car. I've owned 4 Toyotas, including an MR2 (best car I've ever had). When the Alero came out, I had to go back on my vow. I currently am driving a slick looking black V-6 coupe. Only major problem I've had was a power steering leak. Besides this, my Alero's quality build has been much better than what I expected. The power under the hood is scary (I'm thinking about getting a radar detector). Seating is good in the front AND the back. The styling is terrific! Beware: This car drinks gas like crazy. Besides this, it's a very fun & cool car to drive.

I bought my '00 Alero brand new. I was going to purchase a Grand Am, but once I drove the Alero, I knew it was the right choice. I have the GLS V6 2- door. I don't know if this is different than some of the bad reviews I've read on this site or not, but my Alero has been great. I have 140K miles on it, and my mechanic says that it is still running strong. I feel it is a solid car.
