2004 Oldsmobile Alero

battery

I bought a Alero in 2004 the last one made still have it I use it for shows it's in mint condition I have 87.473miles never seen rain all original original paint the only 2 thing I replaced is a battery and front brakes never had any problems love the car

While I have issues with certain things like the electric windows and mirrors, and the fact that the windshield wiper fluid tube was burned out by being too close to the battery, these are minor details that can be fixed.

reliable

I have driven my dependable Olds Alero sedan for 15 years and have been very happy with it.

It was one of the most dependable cars I have ever owned.

My 04 Alero is comfortable, roomy, reliable, the V-6 has plenty of power, and the car is almost maintenance free.

I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, comfortable and cute car.

I would recommend this car to anybody who wants a great dependable vehicle.

If you're looking for an upgrade to a reliable car, go with a GLS model.

I have owned an Alero and it was a great buy and very very reliable!

It has provided me with reliable transportation both locally and on long distance trips.

The car was very reliable - I never had a problem aside from replacing the brakes around 60K miles (they were rusted,

comfortable

Very comfortable for a long drive to as I have went to New York state in this car 4 times from Tennessee.

While I share some of the same complaints about styling and interior comfort of my 2002, my 2004 has the upgrades to make it stylish and comfortable.

It's a comfortable car and gets good gas mileage! !

It's a comfortable and easy car to drive, and it's a great car to teach your kids how to drive.

fuel

It also has a V6 engine that has great zip AND is more fuel efficient at almost 10 years old then some newer cars today!

If you are wanting a good gas mileage and dependable vehicle this one is the best choice for sure!!!

Great car, looks great,easy on gas, cheap to maintain, keep up on your maintenance and it well get to 200k easily!

power

Have the 6 cylinder--plenty of power when you need it.

Everything about the car was perfect, from the way it drove, the power that came from a 4 cyl.

I love my Alero 4 door its got power and its a wonderful vehicle

Car has most of the available options, 3.4 liter V6, 16" alloy wheels, power seats, rear spoiler, love my sun roof.

family

This car made many members of our family happy.

This Alero was originally my moms car, and I learned to drive with this car.

This is NOT a sports car, It's a grocery getter and go to anywhere you need to go vehicle.

Or maybe my family has just has good luck with them.

2003 Oldsmobile Aurora

Smooth engine, comfortable cabin and runs great.

The cabin is quieter than the Mercedes S-Class, the ride is more comfortable than the Lexus ES, and the performance is better than the BMW 5 Series.

Great looks, extremely comfortable, has all the safety bells and whistles.

unique

though the styling is not as futuristic as the 1998, it is still very distinctive.

engine

Wheel hub, engine mount, blower fan, intake plenum boot

The North-star engine isn't all it's cracked up to be.

2002 Oldsmobile Alero

heat/air-control

Second thing was the signal turns stopped working, there is a black box under the dash that controls the signal and hazard lights, cost about $200 for repair.

very unreliable traction control system had to replace front hubs 3X due to traction sensors failing at 400 dollars a pop beware

failure

audio-system

The only complanits i have with this car is that the windows get stuck closed and the security system sometimes prevents you from starting it.

The motor in my back window went out recently and my lock

Still use to this day and you cannot hear the engine run.

-No matter how many times I replace the motors in the power windows, they go out.

but when I hit $75,000 the engine died and I had to replace it.

It?s a good car to start driving with cheap economical very reliable and good on fuel never had a problem with it the time I had min

It gets great gas mileage, drives and handles well and has a good sound system.

I would recommend this car to anyone who needs a good first car or a car that is good on gas.

Only routine maintenance done, timing @ 100k and again when I hit 200k, a fuel pump/filter @ 100k.

I drove to Denver from Minneapolis without having to stop much except for food and fuel.

The gas mileage is much better than expected!

But it gets great gas mileage and it's a smooth ride.

mileage

The positives are if you get routine high mileage oil changes and the preventive maintance needed this car runs like a champ!

Great vehicle overall, comfort, mileage and reliability.

this car was affordable and fit my life very well  it had air bags  a v6 and was very reliable i would reccomend it to anyone and its too bad they dont make them anymore

The vehicle its self is very comfortable and reliable I enjoy driving it and it is excellent on gas!

In contrast, BMWs are not cheap to keep even it they are dependable.

It gets around great in the Minnesota winters, and is comfortable for long trips.

2002 Oldsmobile Aurora

It gets HORRIBLE 12.5 mpg in city with regular fuel,  slightly better milage using recommended

Very comfortable car with good milage and reliability.

The 3.5 V6 has ample power, and gets 23 mpg overall.

I bought this car for weekends and trips.It is luxurious and gets great gas milage.

Love how vehicle handles and is quiet
with very good gas mileage--27mpg on highway.

interior

This car has exceptionally clean interior and appears to have been well taken care of. .

The combination of White Diamond exterior, tan leather interior & factory chrome wheels, makes this car a real looker.

She's still going strong and has been a reliable car.

This also was a truly great & reliable car.

turn-handling

The handling is great for a full size 2002 model,

It handles great has good perfomance, lots of luxury and all of this at a good price.

2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue

I find that the motor really comes to life around 4000 RPM.

but yet I manage to get a tiny bit above 28 miles per gallon (80% of my driving is highway) which is better than half the new cars out today with 4 cylinder engines.

The twin overhead cam engine always has room to move.

The looks are outstanding (No car has a better front and side styling), it had a very guick responding engine, (0-20 in 1 sec, 0-60 in 7) (90% hp at 2,000 rpm) clean and sporty interior, and it drove like a charm.

It gets great mileage, lots of power and it starts every time.

It is smooth and has great gas mileage for a six cylinder.

The car is just so comfortable and fun to drive, Being in Buffalo,NY we get tons of snow and the Olds Intrigue with snow tires on it xxxxxxthrough it like it has 4 wheel drive.

It's a very balanced car - good comfort (even after long distances), performance, economy, and reliability.

Mine has been reliable, comfortable and good-handling for nearly 100,000 miles.

Both body and interior was in great shape.

The interior of the car is set up beautifully with the dual climate control, exterior temp display, plenty of storage room and extra cup holders all over.

The interior is roomy for 5 and the trunk can hold four full golf bags.

Although my Chevy Impala has 18 more horses and a more luxurios interior, the the intrigue performed as nicely as the Impala and had a better interior layout.

2001 Oldsmobile Aurora

steering

Mechanical issues over the lifetime include: power steering pump goes bad, wheel bearings, tie rods get loose, and oil gasket leak. Also, the unit uses a special battery that fits under the back seat (which keeps it from freezing in the winter time!)

Other problems multiple lights out, drivers side heated seat does not work, dash lights out, vulum knob on stero broken, lights on steering wheel

steering column replaced 3 times and needs to be repaired again, rear window motor replaced, and passenger side back door lock replaced.

I did have to replace the power steering pump ($375) shortly after buying it.

lights

We had so many problems with this car: all interior lights burning out continually, flashing headlights at night so badly we stopped driving it at night, replacing alternator many times, popping noises in front suspension, window motors going.

My only complaint is some of the maintenance items are tricky to replace - like headlight and tail light bulbs, and the various sensors have a habit of burning out on a rather annoying frequency.

Only beef on this car is that the high voltage on the alternator causes many of the tiny light bulbs to burn out all over the place!

wheel

sensor

We replaced the door and had it fixed and she still has it until today the vehicle now has over 300,000 miles on it and still runs like new the only maintenance I ever had to fix was the fuel level sensor and never had a problem since.

backseat

Trunk is also a little short on height because of the styling, and there is only a pass-through, no fold-down back seat.

This car is roomy, reliable, and possesses a lot of pep!

Aurora is well built sports luxury that handles well, safe, and reliable.

Very Reliable vehicle would buy again if they were still in production.

It rode great, had great get up and go, was peppy and reliable, wish I never sold the car!

The 4.0 Northstar drivetrain was bulletproof - very reliable.

but other then regular oil changes i havent needed to do much to this vehicle because it has been that reliable.

Spend the extra money up frount and get a more reliable car! REW

soo reliable I'd buy another if they were still made.

My criteria was: large-midsize or full-size sedan, leather, automatic trans, mid 20s gas mileage, reliable.

ride

Rides so smooth, very roomy, the leather scent, even after twenty years.

Quick acceleration and a very smooth ride.

The Northstar 250-hp V8 was made exclusively for Oldsmobile by Cadillac and that paired with the 4-speed 4T80-E automatic transmission makes for an incredible ride.

Handles and rides perfectly VERY fast car

The ride is equal to any other luxury sports sedan made, and out handles my friend's Mercedes 300 sport series all the time.

On the positive side- it does start everyday and has a really nice ride.

This car is a Performer Handles great, Very comfortable.

It handled superbly, was so quiet and comfortable, had every feature you can imagine.

I use Moble 1 and Shell V power in mine, just runs smoother, better acceleration and mpg on 93 octane This car has ALL the bells and whistles of most of todays high end sport sedans with a better ride and seat comfort.

The car's interior was well thought out and comfortable.

Car has a great grip on the road - no sliding around with the long wheelbase that makes you feel comfortable on the highway making a big curve at 65MPG.

The handling is surprising for such a big car and it is very, very comfortable.

The leather is extremely comfortable front and back,

This Aurora handles very well on the curvy, winding roads throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains and blows ice cold air in the Mississippi heat!

And it handles very well on the country roads.

feature

It has all of the luxury features you could want yet you can sneak up on some unsuspecting road warrior and blow his doors off.

I love the car and all the features on it.

It has every option including the Bose sound system, high-end rims, and gold package.

I had a nice package with mine, leather and moonroof with heated seats and all sorts of extras that are not found on a lot of the newer cars.

it is very nice and the options are great

The features that come with this car are what you expect on BMW's etc. EX.

2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue

transmission

My mechanic told me it sounded like a transmission issue.

Oh, forgot, rough shifting tranny, power window swithces don't work, etc.

On February 2005, at 33,000 miles the transmission broke.

Though the car drives great with powerful engine and smooth transmission, the overall feeling driving is lowered due to the cheap feel and poor colors inside.

I now have coolant in my garage from it just pouring out at some point and sometimes my fans weren't working.

.cha ching $600, motor mounts have failed, antoher $600, A/C went out.

design

Low points for interior design of cheap looking plastic appointments.

but GM messed it up with the usual poor interior design.

color

Well when I took it to my mechanic he looked at the fluid and said that it wasn't even the right color and showed me the color it's supposed to be as opposed to what mine was.

At 115,000 miles the check engine light came on and on the scanner it shows as a problem with the emissions-

Steering wheel audio controls, remote keyless entry and very comfortable 6 way power seats on both sides!

Layout of instruments, gauges, controls are intelligent and organized.

All controls are exactly where and how you expect them to be placed.

exterior

High points for exterior styling- athletic and poised.

The exterior is very good as far as styling.

The exterior styling is really good, trunk space is huge, and the engine is powerful.

but its not bad, gets great gas milage, as a person who has primarly owned and driven jeeps, going back to car was an adjustment, but I am very pleased with my Intrigue especially the gas mileage.

This car has a srtong engine and good mpg for the 215HP it has.

Offers decent gas mileage for the performance and size it is.

room

Interior room plentiful for four adults with ample trunk storage and accessiblity thru rear seat backs.

Trunk space and legroom is great, lots of room for anything.

attractive

The body styling remains appealing and the engine is still hanging in there at 219K.

2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue

Only issue that i have had with the car it those crazy dash lights, as stated by most everyone else as well.

but i still like it i put a new head unit (RADIO) in it and a system (SUB WOOFERS)and painted some of the inside and even added HID'S to the car (BLUE LIGHTS).

The front blinkers did give me some fits over the years, I ended up changing out the bulb connectors and utilized dielectic grease to solve the problem.

There were problems with lights on the instrument panel -- Check engine, airbag, antilock lights were always on,

My only complaint is that it is very hard to see the tiny little light on the A/C

Wouln't get rid of it because it carries all my music instruments & PA system.

but I am still running the original wheel ends with no squeaking or bearing issues.

I still need to replace another Wheel Hub assembly that began to go as soon as I had the first replaced.

Power window motors in these cars have a tendency to fail, so be prepared to replace one at some point.

By the way the transmission mechanic couldn't even give a reason for what caused it to fail.

I was really bummed out when GM stopped making Oldsmobiles - I think that's why I have kept this one so long, I don't think there's a comparably reliable car on the market today - with the comfort as well as the ride and power.

Original alternator, water pump, power steering, exhaust, no tranny issues.

She had every option except sunroof, and heated seats, really a comfortable riding car.

Very comfortable seats with  at ease driving.

It fits 5 people easy and the seats are comfortable.

the seats are comfortable and in the back is a fold down arm rest which the brothers and sisters love.

They are really comfortable with plenty of support in the right places (for me) and the heated seats option really feels great on my back.

it is great having a car with performance and comfort.

The seating is comfortable, the ride is comfortable and it is quick and responsive in all driving situations.

I found this car to be very reliable and comfortable.

It handles great and is fairly fuel efficient.

but on short trips it burns a lot of gas.

Also I think that the gas milage is good with the Intrigue.

On our trip out West I checked the gas mileage 3 times.

but it does so without the need for premium fuel, unlike many other performance-oriented V6 powerplants in this class.

The car has been very reliable for the 5 years we have owned it.

I was told by someone that Oldsmobile was a great reliable brand.

but Most reliable car ever i dont want to part with it.

Overall, these cars are reliable budget friendly transportation.
