2004 Chevrolet Malibu LT review from North America
"Nice car, no regrets here"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I took delivery of the car, it didn't come through with any knobs on the stereo. A minor gripe, but worth mentioning. Fortunately (For them), the dealer remedied the problem without any trouble before I drove off the lot. Other than that, everything has been good.
General comments?
I am really impressed with my new Malibu. The V6 motor does good on gas, and has enough pep to move the mid size without any problem.
I ordered mine in silver green with a tan interior. It is a very nice color combinaion.
This is the LT model with all the bells & whistles, except for a sunroof. I have never had any luck with sunroofs.
They would leak after about 6 months on the last couple of cars I had.
The seats are leather with perforated suede inserts. very classy, and easy to maintain. The suede inserts make the seats more bearable to sit on when it's hot out.
The hot interior in the summer never happens though, as this car came with remote start as a factory item.
This is a very comfortable car that is easy to adapt to and drive. I am really pleased with the decision I made to buy this Malibu, and hope that it will work out that way in the long run, as well.
