2002 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Bang for your buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced front struts at 88000 miles.
Replaced intake manifold gasket at 92000 miles.
General comments?
This car is pretty sweet! Never left me stranded whether I was 5 miles or 500 miles away from home.
Got lots of power; gets up and goes.
Excellent car for me being a college student.
Was irritated when intake gasket cracked, but that stuff does happen in life. GM flaw were not all perfect.
Would like to run this car as long as she will go, and would buy another one!
