2003 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"Best bang for the buck, but GM quality is worse then I expected"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rough idle.
Brake pedal makes noise (needs lube)
Rear view mirror falling off.
General comments?
Had the car for about 3 days, started to act up with a strange tremor like idle. Drove it to the dealer in a different city (because I moved the day I bought the car) the dealer said its normal idle for this car. My older Maxima was idling better then this Malibu. Might do an exchange depending on the situation.
