On the highway the Alero provides a supple well-controlled ride that is very smooth. Expansion joints and tar strips are non existent and there is no float or wallow. Olds has also done a great job in sound control. There is almost no wind, road or tire noise. At 70 mph the engine turns a lazy 2050 rpm and is inaudible.
Stops are sure, short and straight.
Pedal feel is solid and precise. On the inside I was surrounded in soft creamy leather, on the seats, the extra meaty steering wheel and the gear shifter. The front seats are on the firm side but are comfortable. The driver's seat is power operated and has lumbar support. The rear seating area is roomy for two and will do in a pinch for three.
