I love my Alero, The only problem I have with it is the searching for parts, It took me some time to get the info to find the parts, maybe is I found this site sooner I wouldn’t be complaining, but o well. lol

Lack of add ons - to many things have to be custom and it makes for a stupid expensive car, that ends up being average. Don't get me wrong, I still love this car, it is just frustrating sometimes.

I Voted: Lack of aftermarket support, but for a BRAND that is no longer in production and was in low numbers to the "aftermarket type (see civic owner)" I like having to hunt or have custom one offs.
Secondly I dont see this as a list of problems, These issues give my ride character. If I wanted a reliable daily driver that looked like every other cookie cutter out there I know I could find it. This car just makes me think, what will have and issue next that I can improve. (Minus rust - yay southern states)

yes there are aftermarket parts available.........maybe what we all should have said is that everything is stupid expensive......perfect examples of this for the 2.4 guys are jbodyperformance.com and induction-dynamics.com, both of which have some great products they are just ridiculously expensive.
$3,000 or more for a cylinder head, no other car out there is that expensive for the gain in horsepower received
and to those of you thinking about saying do it yourself, anybody can go get valves for any car.....how many of you have actually replaced the valve springs and retainers with something other than stock. I have tried twice now to buy the parts and both times have had my money returned because the parts are on indefinate backorder.

How about the fact that Oldsmobile didn't make a 3.8L option for the Alero. That would have been amazing!
