Malibu is my favorite car right now. Chevy all day

I've had my 2003 Malibu for about 4 years now,no problems from this car. Only regular maintenance. I love it and would buy another or newer one

Has a few issues

I’ve had issues with the ac, kicking on and off resulting in a service vehicle soon but never gives a code. I’ve had trouble with the anti-theft system not allowing me to start my car at certain periods. I’ve replaced the idler pulley and tensioner pully to find out the alternator was going bad and needs replaced. This is a good reliable car but it does have some issues
