This car has given me many years of good service, it has good gas mileage, even after 100,000 miles I am getting about 30MPG. It has had to have some work done, but no major breakdowns. The car is easy to drive, and has surprising pick up for size of the engine.

I got this car on the spur of the moment when my previous car just totally died on me and wasn't able to be fixed. I had to get a vehicle quickly, so I didn't take a lot of time to look around. I saw this car on the lot, and it was in the price range that I needed. I gave it a test drive and it seemed "fine". At least "fine for right now". That was several years ago. It's just a simple car. White four door sedan. Nothing fancy. But this car has been SO reliable for me. I've not have even a moment's trouble out of it. Other than the usual routine maintenance, it's not even been in the shop. I get great gas mileage. It runs smoothly. I never have to worry when I get ready to go on a long road trip. I always know that my car will make it with no problems, and will give me a comfortable ride to boot!

This car treated me well for 50,000+ miles and ran well when it did. But once it started breaking down everything went. Parts for this car are also through the roof! But overall the style and paint job on body on this car a decent. The ride was comfortable, and the air in this thing was amazing on a hot summer day. Traction in the snow on the other hand was very iffy. It could have just been my tires but they were the factory recommended tires for the year and model. The classic is said to be almost identical to the Malibu that came one year before it and those cars have lots of reported problems and I see a lot of them breaking down. I'm not sure about them fixing the newer models or the newer Malibu's but they definitely need reworked. Some of the trim on the inside plastics and such held out but you could also tell that their time had come but were still holding on. The seating cleans up pretty good though, having quite a few spills on it they do come right out with the right cleaner and some scrubbing. In the end I'm not sure what the value and ownership costs of this car were but it did get me from a to b for a few years and hey, it was used... So what can I say?
