The Alero combines attractive styling, potent engines and extensive standard equipment in a crisp-handling package.

Introduced to the public at the 1998 North American International Auto Show, the Oldsmobile Alero was an instant hit with the automotive press and consumers alike. Both a sedan and a coupe are available, with your choice of three trim levels and two engines. While the Alero is technically a replacement for the Achieva, this stylish compact is light years ahead of previous attempts by the division to build and market a small car.

Like big-brother Intrigue, the Alero is entertaining to drive. GX and GL models come with a 2.4-liter, dual-overhead-cam, four-cylinder engine that makes 150 horsepower. A four-speed automatic is standard with a five-speed manual optional for those who prefer to row gears. Optional on GL and standard on GLS is a 3.4-liter V6 that makes 170 horsepower mated only to the automatic. Both engines now meet low-emission vehicle (LEV) standards.

While neither engine is particularly quiet during operation, they both deliver spirited performance. Alero employs what Olds engineers call an Active Response System (ARS) to increase driver enjoyment. ARS is simply a combination of 16 desirable attributes, such as a stiff body structure, four-wheel independent suspension, all-speed traction control and four-wheel disc brakes with improved-for-2001ABS. As part of an optional sport package for the GL or GLS Sedan, the firmer-riding suspension rolls on upsized, V-rated, 16-inch performance rubber.

Inside, the Alero is a four-fifths version of the Intrigue. Well laid-out with seating for five, this car has features such as air conditioning, power locks, rear window defogger and split/folding rear seats all standard. But side airbags, offered by some under-$ 20,000 competitors from Toyota and Chevrolet, aren't available or planned. On the minus side, the cloth upholstery isn't very attractive, and the leather looks and feels too much like vinyl for our tastes.

Overall, the Alero is a stylish, powerful, sporting car that is willing to play if you are. It can serve family duty when necessary, won't embarrass the owner when pulling up to a swanky restaurant, zooms confidently along when the road turns twisty, and won't break the bank when the payment book arrives in the mail. However appealing, it will need continuous refinement and a reputation for durability to avoid the destiny met by previous small Oldsmobiles.

Oldsmobile Alero Overview and History

Just like the name says, this brand is one of the oldest in America, being founded in 1897 by Ransom E. Olds. Sadly, today the car company is no more as it was shut down in 2004 by GM, the owner of the brand for most of its 107 years of history.

It actually started out as Olds Motor Company in Detroit where in 1901 the first assembly line was set up, consisting of 75 workers who struggled to make "horseless carriages" as they were called at the time. The first model was called the Curved Dash and after a little media exposure, sales started picking up.

A new plant was built in Lansing, Michigan and production shot up from 425 models in 1901 to 4000 in 1903. The name Oldsmobile never came officially, as the manufacturer referred to them as "Olds automobiles" but people called them Oldsmobiles.

The next model was the 1910 Limited Touring, a somewhat more luxurious car, with a price tag that could rival a home back then. Still, Oldsmobile managed to sell a couple of hundred models, probably also due to the car's exposure in the event in which it won a race against a train.

The next big step for Oldsmobile came in 1937 when the four-speed semi-automatic transmission was introduced under the name "Automatic Safety Transmission". A new, improved version, was introduced in 1940, one that was fully automatic. Then the war came and car production was replaced by arms production which even included big caliber guns and shells.

Postwar production would resume with the introduction of a new type of engine which they called "the Rocket", a straight 8 flathead that offered a lot of power, thus making it a favorite of the racers and hot rod enthusiasts. In order to keep with their new "sporty" image, Oldsmobiles changed their design, now having a big grille in the front, reminiscent of jet fighters, also their taillights seemed to keep in with the Rocket theme.

The 60s would bring with them such noted models as the Cutlass and Toronado which would remain in production well into the 90s. These models, in addition to many others managed to bring up Oldsmobile sales during the 70s and 80s, despite the other American manufacturers having issues. The way that Oldsmobile managed to stay on top was to build car that were reliable and were regarded as having decent quality for the money.

As well as the brand sold in the 80s, when the 90s came around, Oldsmobile found itself in trouble. As other divisions of GM prospered, Oldsmobile lost its place on the market, lost its dsign and was forced to sell rebadged versions of other GM cars, such as Pontiac or Chevrolet. As time went by, Oldsmobile became a bastion for testing new concepts for GM.

The one car that was able to turn things around for the manufacturer was the Oldsmobile Aurora. This car would mark a new turn in design, but in order to achieve the whole new look, all the older models were shelved one by one and replaced with sleeker, more aerodynamic ones (Achieva, Bravada, Eighty-Eight and Silhouette).

Despite all their best efforts, Oldsmobile's demise would finally come also due to its affiliation with GM. A loss in profit for the automotive giant meant that the Detroit brand would be quietly be laid to rest. this after their last model, an SUV called Bravada, was becoming a hit on the American market.

2001 Oldsmobile Alero Consumer Reviews

Not horrible, but personally would suggest one

I have had one of these cars for 7 months now. Got it at 75K miles ran pretty good, now at 86K miles and well..it's not going to well. The engine burns oil already, the transmission shifts hard and slow(Checked the fluid, it's fine) The ride in this car is well..bad. You can feel every bump, it's loud, especially on the highway, expect to have to turn the radio up. The engine is very loud, and I have the 2.4L 4 cylinder engine and it's also very slow, it literally sounds and accelerates as if it had a big diesel engine in it. It averages 19 City, 25 Highway which is pretty bad for a car..especially considering it has a 4 cylinder engine...It's also not very comfortable...

College Car

I bought my Alero brand new (7 miles) and I've had a great experience with it. I haven't had any major mechanical problems with it and it's still running strong. It has adequate power along with good gas mileage. I'd recommend this car to anyone looking for a reliable car.

GLS 4dr Sedan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

A definite NO!

I bought this car at 160K miles and right after I bought it and drove it home, problems started to arise. The check engine light went on right as I drove it home, I didn't think much of it because everything seemed fine. A week later, I went to O'reilly's and got the codes pulled from the computer. Some sort of emissions trouble code and a piston spark plug fire miss code came up. Not a big deal at all, but just troubling since it started on my first drive in it. After that, the A/C compressor bearing went out and it made a loud pinging noise. Since the A/C compressor was such a pain in the butt to get to, I never bothered to get it fixed and just lived without A/C. Next, the stud on the trailing arm in the passenger's rear cracked off which rendered it useless. It wasn't too much of a pain to replace that, but a new trailing arm is quite expensive. After that, the power steering lines rusted through and I had to replace those which was VERY difficult and pretty pricey. Next, the alternator went out and I had to replace that which wasn't too difficult but pricey. Finally, the head gasket blew and it was EXTREMELY difficult to tear apart the engine and replace all the gaskets. Altogether, I got a discount on the materials required which cost around $ 180 but it took about 3 days to get it all fixed. Took it for a test drive after that and learned that I needed new spark plugs and spark plug wires. I took it around the block twice just to be sure everything was working properly. The next day, the car caught on fire and was totaled. A tiny bit of gas turned out to be leaking out of the return rail and the rusted spark plug wires arced to the motor and sparked the fire which soon became very large and melted a good portion of the wire harness. Overall, I took great care of the car. I frequently checked my fluids and got my oil changed every 3K miles. I definitely got a nightmare car though, note that I only had the car between 160K miles and 168K miles which was only for about 10 months. This is my bad experience with this car, take it or leave it.

Would not pick this one over again.

I have owned this car for almost 2 years now. I bought it with around 80,000 miles on it. It now has 110,000 miles. And I would not do it again. About a month after I bought it the front wheel bearings went out. I have also had problems with the drivers side window - had to replace the motor. The head gaskets have had to be replaced and the brakes react terrible if it rains or snows. Needless to say this has not been anything like what I thought. None of the repairs have been anything close to cheap or acceptable. I would not recommend it to anyone, especially for young driver. Alero's are very questionable cars, its a 50/50 chance - you either get a good one or a very rotten lemon.
