2001 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"A great dependable, affordable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a 2001 Chevy Malibu LS and unlike all of the other comments here, I have to beg to differ.. This is the second Malibu LS I have owned, the first being a 2000 Malibu LS and I was rear ended in it at a 60mph impact and walked away out of the accident.. It also had 79,000 trouble free miles.. After the accident, I bought a 2001 Chevy Malibu LS and it now has 90,000 miles on it and hasn't had to go to the dealer one time for anything. (besides regular maintenence) I think a lot of the problems here are with the drivers and not the car. My father is a Chevrolet technician and he agrees with me 100%. So I strongly reccommend the Malibu if you are looking for an attractive, realiable, fast paced family sedan. That's my 2 cents..
John.
