Available as a sedan or coupe, the All Used Oldsmobile Alero was considered by most to be a sporty-looking car thanks to its bulging wheelwells, sleek greenhouse, fluted side panels and large jewellike taillights. The front-drive All Used Oldsmobile Alero was also entertaining to drive.

The All Used Oldsmobile Alero debuted in 1999 as a replacement for the slow-selling Achieva. All Used Oldsmobile Alero Coupe and All Used Oldsmobile Alero sedan body styles were offered, as were three main trim levels: entry-level All Used Oldsmobile Alero GX, All Used Oldsmobile Alero midgrade GL and top-line All Used Oldsmobile Alero GLS. All Used Oldsmobile Alero GX and All Used Oldsmobile Alero GL models came standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that made 150 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque. Optional on All Used Oldsmobile Alero GL and standard on All Used Oldsmobile Alero GLS was a 3.4-liter V6 that made 170 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque. The only transmission choice at the time was a four-speed automatic.

Inside, you’ll find the All Used Oldsmobile Alero offers a user-friendly control layout and seats that are generally comfortable, materials quality throughout is a step or two ahead that of competing imports; even the leather in the All Used Oldsmobile Alero GLS. For those with lots to carry, though, both the coupe and sedan offered a generous 14.6 cubic feet of trunk capacity.

The four-cylinder engine in the All Used Oldsmobile Alero delivers rather snappy performance, especially with the manual transmission. The All Used Oldsmobile Alero’s ride quality beats that of many cars on the road. Even the performance suspension in the GL2 model absorbs its fair share of bumps.
