2003 Oldsmobile Alero GLS 3.4 from North America
Summary:
Good car
Faults:
Bought the car to travel to work with, and after I first got it, the security light would come on (flashing) occasionally and it would not start. If you left the key on for 8-10 minutes it would then start and be good for a while. After some research online I got some electrical contact cleaner in a spray can with a straw and flushed out the key switch and cleaned the key with it, and believe it or not, I haven't had a problem with it for over 2 years.
Besides that I haven't had any problems with the car.
General Comments:
The car has been better than expected; it gets decent mileage average 9.4L/100K. Starts good in the -30 Alberta winters even when the block heater is not plugged in. It's comfortable enough and drives nice with good visibility. Only regular maintenance so far. The car has been very reliable thus far.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

They are good cars, and one of the last Oldsmobile's ever made I believe.
