2000 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"This Malibu has been good to me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced power steering hose. (covered by warranty)
Replaced intake gaskets. (covered by warranty)
Brakes every 10,000 miles.
Replaced front hub a couple of times.
New steel brake lines brake lines. Normal for our harsh winters after 9 years.
General comments?
The car gets 34 MPG on the highway, and around 28 with my normal driving.
The brakes are really not a big deal. I can change them in my sleep it seems. I do all of my own work and I enjoy it.
The car is comfortable.
The car starts even at 40 below zero, no questions asked.
I need to rebuild credit to buy a house, so I need to get 2 more years out of the car and I have no doubts that I will.
