1997 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Complete brake job @ 70,000kms, headlight cases have been replaced 3 times due to fogging - seals breaking. Our glove box squeaks over bumps, but it cannot be repaired, don't know why. Shocks & struts were also replaced before we bought it (bought used with 30,000 km on it). Other cosmetic type problems.
General comments?
The car is a great car, it's very comfortable and very smooth to drive. Accelerates very well and we would certainly buy the same type of car again. The problems we've had have all been cheerfully fixed by the dealer. Chevy is most definitely the best dealership I have ever dealt with.
