The Alero is just cute cute cute! Love the sporty exterior (mine has a spoiler) and the euorpean styling. I've always driven Toyota/Nissan sports cars and this is my first American choice. I love the appearance, handling and that it doesn't demand as much attention as my past cars which I've worried would be stolen. Peppy little car that hugs corners well, what more can you want?

I needed to replace a mini-van that was worn out and I was plain tired of minivans. Honda Element... too wierd, Honda Civic..too small, Accord...too $$. I have owned a couple Hondas and they have the occasional quality issue anemic heaters etc. A used car lot had a Buick Rendez. and noticed a dozen 2004 Alero program cars. They were clean, comfortable, and CHEAP. I got an 6cyl, with ABS, power seat, CD and wing. Hey this is comfy and I was out the door for $11000 and they took my Chevy APV with a bad tranny on trade. The Alero is nice, ABS is good compared to the unrefined ABS Chevy put in the APV in 1995. There is a fit problem with the center dash vent. I am HAPPY and NOT car poor.

FIRE

Unintended key rotation caught my car on fire a year before recall was announced. We fixed what we could and continue to drive it. However since we already replaced the burnt up ignition, with a new but still bad key with ignition cause it all burnt up, since it's not the same key gm WON'T fix it. They also refuse to admit that the fire was a result of the bad key, so I still drive around in a fire hazard, with no heat,air, window defrost , inside lights, lighter Port as all of the wiring burnt up.

This is my second Alero purchase. We also own a 2001 GL2 Sedan. I love both cars as they are both GL2 sedans; however, the 2004 is missing many features that were standard in 2001 (lighted rear view mirror, vanity mirror on passenger's side, no sun- glass storage compartment on the ceiling (just an empty hole), 2 less speakers (only 4 was 6) but same radio, no flip up drink cover next to driver and no cargo net or ancors in the trunk. I know its the last production year but please remember I am a loyal owner and paying good money for a car that looks exactly like the 2001, performs like the 2001 but is missing tons of little extras. OUCH!!!
