1997 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America

When I received my vehicle it was a birthday gift. One month after I received it, there was a recall on it. It was for the front end.

After the recall, my engine light came on; when I went to have it checked they said it was a loose hose for the exhaust.

After it was fixed I continued to not have problems.

9 months later I had a blow out on my rear passenger side tire. It handled great considering the tire completely blew off the side rubber.

3 months later or 1 year from the time I have received the car, I now have an alternator and battery that has given up, which I have found will not cost that much to fix.

When I received this vehicle, my driver's seat was not able to adjust to a lay back position; but it does move back and forth. Which is at times an inconvenience due to all the driving I do.

I have to move to the passenger's side to lay down and rest.

I get great gas miles.

It runs and handles great.

I have done a lot of driving in the past year, and have gotten great gas miles. Not just locally, but long distance.

It does damage easy, I have found, lots of dents, I would not want an accident in this vehicle; but all dents pop back into place when you go to fix them.
