1997 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"It's the first car I ever owned that runs good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My thermostat went out.
I needed both motor mounts and a belt tensioner.
And now my radiator coolant is leaking from a hose or my thermostat.
General comments?
The car is a excellent car once its up and running. I have drove that car twice to Virginia, once to Florida, and about six times to Atlanta. The car is 9 years old and it runs great.
