2001 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"A family man's sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front brake rotors were warped and the pads were overly worn for so few miles.
General comments?
The car has very good acceleration and handles extremely well for a sedan, if GM could fix the brake problems they seem to have in many of their models the Malibu would be a real winner.
