  Great car - 2002 Chevrolet Malibu
  By jilikins - April 1 - 9:33 am

  We had a 2002 Malibu that we originally bought in 2007. Never had any major issues with it and because of high mileage hubby put on it driving 90 miles back and forth to work, we decided to look for another car. We found a 2002 Malibu (this one is loaded) with 80,000 miles on it and promptly bought it. My husband is a back yard mechanic of sorts (built a 66 Chevy II from the ground up into a pro-street car) and so he does regular maintenance on it and changes the oil religiously and tune ups and such. Sure, weve had to change the brakes on both our vehicles, but that is the norm. Great, great car.

  No problems - 2002 Chevrolet Malibu
  By juan_d - June 14 - 11:08 pm

  bought at 87,000 miles I havent had any mechanical issues after a year. I drive it almost every day for 100+ miles as a delivery driver. I think the only people that review this car are the ones that are pissed that it isnt working how a car should.

  Love it but have had problems - 2002 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Tx_DreamWeaver - January 14 - 12:39 am

  I bought the car at 37000 miles and drove it thru several states and Canada (about 8000 miles total), and couldnt ask for a better ride or drive, but the brake pedal went too low before I got back. I took it to the dealer, and because it happened in the 3000 mi/30 day warranty on used cars, they supposedly fixed the brakes. They didnt feel any different after, and I know the brakes and rotors need replacement now. I had the same problem as others with the no start or shutting down while driving. Just paid $500 for new ignition switch. Only time will tell if it recurs, or if I get the engine leak problem too!

  Hard to Kill - 2002 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Brien - November 24 - 11:23 pm

  Bought in 04 w/56000 miles. By November 08, car has 152,000 miles. Maintainence is key to a happy car. Oil changed every 3500 miles on the dot. Driven cross country and in flatlands, got 30+mpg. 25 in higher elevations. All milestone recommended services performed. Intake manifold gasket replaced after reading about class action lawsuit. (Dexcool decision). Waiting on my claim check. Changing seats to leather this week as old seats wore out. Windshield to go after winter due to "sandblasting" on highway. Cant see on sunny days. Car has passed all NY State Emission Inspections legitametly. What a surprise. Looking keep til it hits 200,000 miles or dies. Whichever comes first

  Best car that I ever owned - 2002 Chevrolet Malibu
  By MV - May 5 - 2:29 am

  I have covered 105,000 miles in the last 4 and a half years. Never had a single problem except for a plastic handrest breaking during warranty. Changed brakes once and spent $120 for the 100,000 mile service and changed all tires at 95,000 miles. My wife loves Japanese cars but after seeing my Chevy, she switched to GM as well. I am waiting for the 2008 Malibu to upgrade.

  Great overall car, very reliable - 2002 Chevrolet Malibu
  By David - July 18 - 10:01 pm

  I bought this car looking for a car that would start everytime. This car has yet to fail me. With regular scheduled maintnence i have not had to put any additional money into it. The car gets excellent fuel economy for the stress I put it through. I drove 300 miles with 3 other passengers with the AC on 5 the whole time there and i got 29 MPG highway. I thought that was awesome!

  I just bought a 2002 Chevy Malibu on ebay. I was kind of hesitant about buying a car on ebay, but it was a smokin deal and it worked out really well! This blue book on this car was about $9,000 and on ebay i bought it for $5,000. It was a great deal and it is a great car! I love it! it drives great and its perfect for my son. I love it! Id recommend it to anyone who is interested in buying a Malibu!

  Ive owned two - 2002 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Scott - March 16 - 6:15 pm

  I really like my Malibus. Occasionally they have had some repairs needed - A/C switch, blink switch, door switch. But Overall Im very, very pleased. Great pickup and go and excellent handling a high speeds in the rain - (freeway driving). The 2002 realy hugs the road well. I did buy the extended warranty. My dealership (Thorobred in Arizona) takes GREAT care of me. Best service of any company Ive ever dealt with. Id buy another !!!! (Many who boo hoo are asian supporters)

  Quality ... without the Japanese price! - 2002 Chevrolet Malibu
  By satisfied guy - November 13 - 7:13 pm

  The only problem with my Malibu has been brakes. They were fixed several times by the dealer, at their expense. Last time was the charm as I have driven almost 15,000 miles since, with no further problems. The car handles well, is comfortable, and gets good gas mileage. I am very satisfied with this car
