The 2001 Chevy Malibu's are pretty consistent vehicles, and are a good economic choice. Before purchasing one, when I was in the market, I was actually looking for either a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry, i.e. something cheap and dependable. When I couldn't find one, the first American vehicle I chose was the Chevy Malibu. I'm very, very glad I did so.

Overall, the car is dependable. The features of the car are more than adequate (keyless entry, power windows, power locks, etc.). The overall power of the vehicle is adequate. The appearance is quite sleek and nice.
