2001 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"The chevy Malibu LS is a fantastic car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had my Malibu LS for 4 years and the only things that have gone wrong are the directionals went after the first year; and then the blower to the air-conditioner went which was under warranty and was replaced at no charge. Last year I had new breaks put in.. the brakes are the only complaint I have about this car. They never worked very well. Since then it has been as faithful and reliable as they come! I love the comfort of it, it is roomy and has both CD and tape player and radio. It has been a fantastic car and still looks good. I am almost finished paying it off and will keep it for another year or two. If all still goes well, I will certainly buy another and at the same place.
General comments?
It is quick and people who have driven it say that it responds very well. I can fit a lot in the trunk, and have never had to push the back down for more room. I heard that the new Malibu LS has a shorter back which disapoints me..
