Oldsmobile Alero 3.4L V6 GL

Great car if you know what you're in for. Like all 3400's I had to get the lower intake manifold gaskets replaced around 80k miles (currently 100k). I wont hold it against the car, because it's an issue with every 3x series engine GM built. The interior quality is above average, nothing special though. some components feel very solid while others are noticeably cheap. I upgraded the strut tower braces and sway bars to give the car a tighter feel while driving, and it did wonder to an already comfortable ride. I recommend this car to someone who knows how to turn a wrench and is looking for something ideal yet sporty, but not for grandma with low income for repairs.

Oldsmobile Alero 3.4L V6 GL is a very good car for the dollar value. I think the alero has been given a raw deal.So far my alero has been very reliable and a real fun car to drive.Plus very good gas milage.It is loaded with every option except heated seats.

My Oldsmobile Alero 3.4L V6 GL Sedan has been a slight headache, but worth a couple of Aspirin.

This Oldsmobile Alero 3.4L V6 GL Sedan has had some major components replaced at low mileage. My list of replacements includes:

Brake caliper at 19,824 miles.

Lower intake manifold gaskets at 24,878.

Power steering hose at 24,980.

Wheel speed sensor, lower control arms, and HEAD GASKET at 28,754.

Fuel tank cap, front stabilizer shaft, insulator, and bracket at 33,451.

Upper and lower intake gaskets and brake pads at 40,903.

Front strut mounts, front stabilizer link, and oil leaking in main rear area at 48,837.

Steering gear and FRONT CRANK SEAL at 54,998 miles.

By the time I reach 60,000 miles I will practically have a new car with all the replacements I've made. Oldsmobile put out new pieces of trash and conveniently went out of business shortly after.
