1999 Chevrolet Malibu Base review from North America
"It was a good deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brakes went at 38000. Intake Manifold went at 70000.
General comments?
Car was OK. No major problems till that leak started in the intake manifold. Apparently they all do this. Engine was a bad design and should have been scrapped years ago. Car handled well and good pickup power. Served me well. But disappointed in leak in manifold.
