1982 Chevrolet Malibu Classic review from North America
"A reliable boat. Great car all around. Could've hit 500,000 miles in my mind!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine blew in 1991. Had to get rid of it. Otherwise, the backup lights would sometimes work and I hit a tree while driving in the snow. Nice dent on the passenger front fender. Still driveable, if the old 2.8 didn't blow.
General comments?
The car was reliable all around! I loved that thing and I want to find another 1982 Classic. I loved the back windows (the way only the rear potion opened!)
