1998 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"High performance family sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I have had this car the only thing that has gone wrong with it so far is that the AC control head had to be replace by the dealer. That is about the only thing that has gone wrong with it so far.
Brake pads and rotors had been replaced right before I bought this vehicle. This vehicle was well maintained considering it was an off lease vehicle, and considered a GM Certified Used Car.
General comments?
This car has great handling, and for $10,788 I think it was well worth it. GM offered me an extended warranty from the 45K miles I had on it til it reaches 80K miles.
AC Control head was replaced by the dealer at no charge to me.
The performance of this vehicle is quite nice, considering I raced a 2001 Ford Taurus SES and came out on top... not by much but that does not matter.
This car seems to be very well maintained, and does not seem to be like the problematic 1996 Pontiac Grand AM SE that I owned. I think Chevrolet did a fantastic job with this vehicle and I would recommend it to any family looking for a nicely equipped problem free vehicle.
My Malibu (LS model... leather, CD, power window, locks, seats, alloy, and lot of other fun toys).
I truly love driving my car...
