1997 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Great, well handling and running vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing I really have to comment on things that went wrong is my AC Clutch went, but the car still runs fine.
General comments?
This car is a very nice looking car that runs strong and drives very smoothly. The steering is tight and handling is amazing for a car that has 132,000 miles on it. The engine has never had any problems as I know of and it gets great gas mileage I couldn't be more satisfied. The body is also in great shape, and paint is still in shiny except for your regular chips and scratches. If you are considering this vehicle I do recommend it, as long as you maintain it and don't beat on it you will get many miles out of it. The 3100 engine is known to last over 200,000 miles so also remember that when you are considering with other vehicles.
