Used 1998 Chevrolet Malibu Consumer Reviews
Blue Lemon!
My employer picked up this car in September 2001 and it's been a nightmare ever since. Right from the start, something was dysfunctional in the heating system, so no heat blew to the feet. (And, being from Manitoba, you need all the warmth you can get in winter!) Eventually, that cost nearly $1000 to fix. Then, at 100K, the head gasket gave out (coolant into oil pan, etc.). Another $1000 repair. At 200K, the intake manifold gasket bit the dust - another $1000 gone. Stay away from this car! The heating system is awful, the glove box falls out & the seats are intolerable for anything but short trips. I'd rather take my 1992 Camry than this car anywhere any day! Parts are expensive.
Driving mine for 5 yrs now
I have had mine 5 yrs now. I loved it at first, but it has begun to wear out. It has a 115,000 miles and is still going strong.
I love this car
I purchased this car in early 2000... had it for 2 years. I've had to change the oil a few times, but other than that, the car runs great! I only spent 6500 on it, and so far, it's been a great investment.
Wonderful Car
I bought the car at a certified dealer, 35,000 miles with an extended 3 year warranty (bumber to bumber). We love the way it drives, standard features are great, v6 engine.......Best of all my children love it. I would recommend this car to the average "american buyer".
Chevrolet is a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This car has been nothing nut a headache. Since 11/98 it has had three brake jobs, AC worked on 4 times, power seat repaired, stereo replaced, cassette deck replaced twice, three batteries, alternator replaced, water pump replaced and power window repaired. AC has gone out again. GM does not care. Thank God we bought the extended warranty or we would have to pay more than our deductible every time. Stay away from Chevrolet!!!!!!
