1998 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Nice little ride for new drivers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Flat tire in the first week due to a crappy rim.
During the winter it had poor ventilation, so the windows would freeze over on the inside.
Loose strut in the back, but never a problem for me.
General comments?
Great first car, I loved mine for driving around town, and it was always reliable for a trip snowboarding.
The stock spare tire is crap, and there's really no room in the trunk for a tire that would actually help.
Handles very well, and has normal speed range. The fastest I have gone in it was 160km/h.
Horn sucks, I'm embarrassed to have to use it in front of people.
