After first renting an Alero a year beforehand, and enjoying the experience, I decided to buy one. After driving the car for an average of an hour each way to work for several months, I have found the car to be excellent --- very comfortable, powerful, excellent handling, yet quiet on the highway. And, so far, it hasn't needed any trips to the repair shop (except for oil changes).
Alerio

My wife and I purchased this 02 Alero in the fall of 01. It was for her and she wanted something sporty with a little extra room and comfort features. We looked at others, but the Alero seemed a good choice for the dollar. We got everything except for the sunroof. What a machine! This is one fast V-6. Off the line or in the lane. We followed the maint schedules and 122000 miles later it still looks great and running like a top. First 5 years reg- maint all 100% orginal looking for 3rd set of tires. This past year I replaced the gaskets, sensors, fuel pump & filter. A new battery(3),more.. about $3,000 Garenteed to last another 4-5 years. Except for that damn dash, starts to peel after 1yr
Great and then Dead

I hadn't heard anything bad about an Alero when my mechanic tried to sell one to me. It was an '02 and I didn't have a single problem with it for 3 years. I lived on a steep, unpaved road and the car got me up even in snow. Then the check engine light was on and it started choking on it's own oxygen intact and emissions problems and now it sits not able to pass inspection. So, you be the judge: is a 2002 supposed to live past 11 years and 155000 miles? It was fine and now dead.
Could be better

Not a good idea to purchase one of these the resale value went down 8,000 from Jan to now. That is not saying anything good for this car.
