2000 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"An enjoyable car that does everything well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The heater control module has failed 3 times.
The leather on the steering wheel & the driver's seat peeled.
General comments?
Overall, I am very satisfied with my Malibu LS. For a 6 Cylinder car, I average 23 MPG city & 32 MPG on trips.
The car has a lot of room for a smaller mid sized vehicle.
I would buy another one, but would not opt for the leather seats as they do not seem to wear well.
