2005 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx LS review from North America
"Nice little car for the money, but it may have some reliability issues"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter shorted out at approximately 5,400 miles and had to be replaced.
The 6-disc CD changer intermittently does not work. Every once in a while it will not play, change CDs, or eject CDs.
General comments?
This car accelerates nicely when you need it to and the steering is also very easy.
The in-dash 6-disc CD changer is very convenient and the sound system sounds great.
The rear fixed skylight along with the front skylight makes the car feel very open.
This car will fit just about any body type or size. The pedals are adjustable along with the steering wheel. Not only are the front seats adjustable, but the back seats are also.
