I'm the 2nd owner and I've been using it as a daily-driver for over 13 years. It's a great vehicle overall; I can comfortably fit family in it on the bench seat and it has child locks! The folding down rear seats are invaluable for moving a lot of stuff and I couldn't live without my sunroof! It's comfortable on long trips and I've never gotten stuck in the snowy mountains or on the beach.Nov 24, 2014

Have owned for 13 years. Cost of ownership very reasonable. Handles well. Interior could have better finishes, lots of plastic and fabric on rear dash is deteriorated. It is good commuter car. Tight for family of five to take on long trips. Brake lines needed to be replaced as GM seems to have problems with them across their brands.Jan 22, 2013

Just a great, overall, practical car... Fun to drive. Felt safe 'cause it/the engine were very reliable. Maintenance didn't break the bank. Handles well. Gonna' feel sad when I part with it. I've had it for 11 years!! Love it! :-)Jan 11, 2012

this car handles wonderfully! it gets amazing gas mileage about 33-35 miles per gallon high way and thats at an average of 75-80 mph. i love the pick up no problems getting out into rush hour traffic. it is an old car so it needs some tlc but its worth it to keep it up. love this car. only minus is you need really good tires in snowy weather.Nov 15, 2011

Over all, I have to admit that this car, (99 malibu, 4 cyl), has actually impressed me and my attidude towards chevy/gm. That said, I have owned nothing less (else) than Ford. But, after inheriting this GM vehicle, for reasons in-important, I have to admit that my this malibu has unpresidently changed my view towards GM (at least these years/models). My Malibu is 11 years old now and I have not had any "Major" issues with it other than having to replace the fuel pump..but thats my fault..(cheap gas/low tank). Its a great and reliable car with plenty of room for "unexpected activities"!Feb 17, 2010

that car sucks in performance. body roll like not other. slow acceleration. engine repairs majorly. head gaskets like to blow easy. interior styling is weak. basically set up for old people. V6 is like owning a grand prix gtp. gas hog. the car isnt fun to drive more like an embarassment.Oct 18, 2009

I've had this car for 6 years and still love it. Acceleration has always been great, being a 6-cylinder, and despite the automatic transmission. It brakes and handles pretty smoothly, even now with 150,000 miles. Repairs and maintenance have been minimal - mostly brakes, tires, water pump, serpentine belt. Mostly mechanically sound, aside from power window motors breaking and interior fan only works on high. Minor rust around back tire wells. Outside appearance is pretty mild - an average looking mid-size sedan. Interior is the same, with grey fabric seats and grey dash. The gas mileage is surprisingly good, as I've gotten close to 40mpg highway on trips. It's roomy, comfortable, very dependable, and I dread the day we get rid of this car!Jan 18, 2009

My car is the most amazing car ever invented! Ive ran it into fences, off cliffs (seriously), other cars... and it has hardly any dents at all! Sadly though, its old, and once upon a time it could kick a little bit of ass on the road, but not anymore. Now its just a lowly 4 cylinder with an attitude. None the less, i love my little baby and when she kicks the bucket I would LOVE to have a V6 version of her. Jan 15, 2009

Its got balls. The only race I've ever lost in my malibu (Bone stock) was against a corvette. Fun to drive fast, to have that feeling of being on the edge because you know a 4 door family sedan should not corner that well normally. It has needed a new alternator though.. and its leaking Coolant from the intake manifold which suggests it needs a new intake manifold gasket a whopping 10 hours of labour typically assuming everything goes well. Looks good outside and in. Gas mileage isnt so bad for a 6cylinder. 150hp and 180ft-lbs is pretty fun. Recommend for the daily driver who needs to go a little bit quicker if they want to.Aug 02, 2008

My car is amazing! I just added a cold air intake to it and the things roars like a kitten! i love this car and its like my 2nd girlfriend, i love it, its comfy and everything that i like is pretty much for it. YAY!!! the only thing i don't care for is that the radio doesn't pull in the radio stations to well, so i'm trying to find out what i could do to try and fix this problem. But over all i love this car, and i know that the 3.1L motor will last a long time cuz i had that same motor in my last car and it was a tad over 250,xxx miles on it when i sold it. so i know this car will last me and its going to be all goodJul 07, 2008
