2000 Chevrolet Malibu Sedan review from North America
"I would get a Malibu over and over again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I previously owned a 1993 Toyota Tercel and boy was that the biggest piece of useless metal I ever got. I sold that car and got my 2000 Malibu. I have no complaints with it, I drive like crazy and it keeps up with me.
I had to replace my front rotors because they warped, and had to dry the ignition coil, but that was after I drove into a flood.
My check engine light is on, but I understand that's due to a faulty fuel filter common in these models.
General comments?
Overall I get the best mileage from all vehicles I have asked about, roughly 22 miles per gallon. With gas prices going up, I am glad I spend what I spend and not what others do.
