powerful engine!
Ive had a great 4 years with this car which got me to college and work. I ended up putting a new engine after the head gasket in my old engine was causing me problems but since the new engine has been installed the car runs just as it would right off the lot in 1997. I recently got a new car and don't have the room for it, hopefully the next owner will cherish it and take care of it as well as I have.

very smooth driving experience and very appealing price for this great car. this is my second car, i have had a bmw 328 before and it was no comparison to this chevy. maybe in term of luxury the bmw is better, but drive quality is no where close as this car is both a performanace and comfortable ride for everyday use. long distance drive would be pleasure!

Great
I really love this car and would not be selling it if we did not get a boat. She rides really nice and has the pick-up when you need it on the highway.
I really took care of this car as it was always washed and the salt never formed on it in the winter. Having a two-way start on it meant it was always warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The car has just been safety done on it, winter and summer tires each with their own set of mags means that you are ready for any season.
This is a great deal under $13k

Great Car
This car was bought brand new. The only problem we encountered was the car had engine slap around 2003. The engine was fully replaced by GM. The car has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever had. We took it in regularly for oil changes and maintenance. The front wheel drive is great in winter. If you are looking for a second vehicle for the family, this car is it. It has a lot of power when needed on the road. It rides very well. Has a lot of room in the car and trunk space. This would also make a great lady's car. It has been well looked after. It is ready to drive away.

Not to shabby
The car is generally decent. Not bad on gas. Comfortable and safe. A pretty good buy for a 1999. I have had a good experience with this car. I have had it for 2 years and it has lasted for quite sometime. I have had issues with the antifreeze leaky which is apparently a common trait in this car. It has been reliable for getting to work which is a 45 commute daily

Exceeded Expectations
I bought this car in 2009, so it was 9 years old with 180,000km on it. I got it for a great price and was just looking for a cheap car to be my first. I had a problem with the starter, which wasn't a big deal. But after about 1 year of poor power and acceleration I decided that it wasn't just from the car being poor quality and got it checked out. Turned out all it took to make my car drive like a dream was a new catalytic converter. Since I got that fixed, my mileage is better, my acceleration and speed is better and I am fully confident in my car.
If you can get this car it makes a great starter car for a new driver, and even now the car is getting the job done as my demands of it increase. The mileage is very good for a 12 year old car, the only problems with it have been easily fixed and it continues to impress me for what I paid. There is plenty of space for passengers and cargo as long as you aren't expecting it to be a van.
You will not be disappointed by this car.

Not a good car.
What I really want a car is confort and strong. What I mean is there won't be too much problem that I have to fix. However, malibu gives me a lot of problem, such as watertank broke, oil pump broke, bearing completely broke....too much problem, and each of them cost me hundreds of bucks, It is really bothering when something really improtant happend and you really need your car, and problem happens-you cant drive it anymore. really bad expirence, I wont go for a malibu again!

well the biggest problem i have with this car is the anti theft device because it seems to think that i am stealing it all of the time while my key is in the ignition. to get it fixed costs 500 to 600 $ and i dont think that the car is worth that. other then that i have not had too many problems with it.

Good quality and performance for the price!
Haven't had any manufacturing issues since purchase in 2010. Gas mileage pretty good. Drives smoothly. Does have awkward blind spots at rear of car. OnStar is very reliable. Safety for windows lock. Back seats fold down for extra trunk storage; good for hauling long pieces of wood etc...Overall good car for the price and performance.

Economical luxury car
I have had problems with the power steering suddenly failing, the gas gauge no longer works and with all the bells and whistles inside the car, something is bound to break... like the vanity mirror cover snapped off and now it no longer lights up, the power rear view mirror button snapped off and it's not like I use that one as I'm the only driver... just cheap plastic parts combined with extreme Manitoba heat/cold temperatures.
Besides the problems I've encountered, I'm pleased with the car as it was an affordable luxury car, is pretty good on gas (though you wouldn't know it since it always says low fuel even when it's full) is a smooth ride, accelerates well, steers well (except when the power steering fails) and looks appealing, especially with the spoiler and sunroof!
