The biggest problem with Aleros only happens to the 3.4L V6 (a leaking gasket). As for the Ecotec, I haven't heard any major engine problems at all. The wheel bearings / hubs go out from time to time, as well as brake rotors, and your normal maintenance.
I've had my 2000 for 4 years now, and I haven't fixed anything bigger than the hubs (which are $100 for the part, or $300-400 installed at a dealer). My V6 did have "the leak" but you wouldn't have to worry about it.
So as far as a car goes, the Alero, especially a 2003, will get you where you're going quite well. I haven't had any problems getting mine serviced since the demise of Olds, either.
