1998 Chevrolet Malibu - A Good Purchase

I am happy with the overall quality of this car. For a vehicle that has over 100,000 miles and almost 20 years under its belt, this car performs pretty well. It has a very comfortable interior and a large trunk. I am a large person, but there is ample room in this car. I have teenagers that are 6' 5" tall, and they are able to drive the car comfortably. It is also quite comfortable for long trips due to the interior room.

Story

I am the third owner of this car, but I share the same last name as the other two owners. The original owner was my brother-in-law, and the second owner was my son. Now it is my car. It is still in the family and still running!

Pros

With it being an older car, when repairs do come up they are much more reasonably priced than newer cars. It drives smoothly, and fairly quietly. The air conditioning still works quite well. I am able to fit a lot in the trunk, which is nice for hauling groceries or luggage or sports gear - or all of the above!

Cons

The exterior paint is peeling off in large flakes on the roof. Also, the taillight housings leak.

2005 Chevrolet Malibu - Great, reliable vehicle

I bought this car used and have now owned/driven it for nine years. During that time I have had no major issues with the car. A few minor issues have arisen, namely a headlight fuse failing and wear down of the brake pads. The second issue almost caused a car accident. However, both of these issues fall under (my definition of) normal wear and were both easy fixes. Parts for this car are easy to find, and most mechanics are well versed in the make/model and able to perform any necessary work. The car also gets good gas mileage for its size, roughly 30 MPG. The dashboard, radio, and other included features look nice as well as function intuitively. The only feature not included that I would have wished for would be heated seats. Other than that, any feature I need or could possibly want... (more)

Story

I've driven this car over the mountain pass many times to visit family and friends. I always enjoy the drive, thanks to the useful features of the vehicle.

Pros

Good MPG, useful features, easy to drive

Cons

Lack of heated seats and quite large.
