2000 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"I wouldn't buy another due to reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes/rotors went constantly.
Engine blew at ~75,000.
Gas hog.
Car overheated a few times.
General comments?
Car was a gas hog for the smaller v6 it had. Didn't produce enough horsepower/torque for the MPG.
The car was pretty comfortable and had exceptional handling for a FWD car. Roomy interior and the exterior was nice. I like the dash mount ignition.
Spark plugs were hard to replace due to the way it was mounted.
