Owned since 2008 (2008 Chevy Malibu)

This car has been parked in my driveway more than on the road. Several recalls, EPS PROBLEM now and not listed as a recall but other 2008s are listed. My VIN number not included. Will never buy another chevy in my life time. Should have bought a bike.

Chevy Malibu

I think the vehicle was well made. It has a nice sound to it and it rides smooth. I think it’s a good car for a teenager that a new car owner.

262000 miles before oil blew by cylinders

Best car I ever had. Never left me stranded. Good power for a 4 cylinder. Good in snow. Never had to replace oil or water pumps. Still had original exhaust system. HD car for 11 years. Was easy to fix. I loved this car.
