In the first place Aluminium is far lighter then steel. As well as this it does not corrode as easily. there are probably a lot of other reason but those two are enough by them selves.

What are the advantages or disadvantages of steel vs aluminium cars?

Aluminium has some advantages over steel. Since it has a lower density than iron or steel, a car body made from aluminium will be lighter than the same car body made from steel. This results in improved fuel economy. Also, aluminium does not corrode easily, so a car body made from aluminium will corrode less, and may last longer, than one made from steel. However, aluminium is more expensive than steel. So a car made from aluminium is likely to be more expensive than one made from steel.
