  Got my moneys worth - 2000 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Jack Kallenbach - November 14 - 10:03 am

  I bought this car new in 2000. It has been a very good car. No major mechanical problems,only normal wear and tare. Everything still works. Uses no oil. It still drives and rides well. The car is kind of basic compared to some others. Nothing fancy, but less to go wrong. The performance is quite acceptable. Its not a muscle car, but it has enough power. I even pull a small trailer. The pushrod V6 turns fewer RPM at highway speeds than more modern overhead cam engines. But because of the low RPM, you seldom hear any engine noise unless you are really standing on the gas. Fuel economy is decent. What struck me most about this car is that the car feels like a larger car than it really is

  Decent Car - 2000 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Tom G - August 11 - 5:35 pm

  I bought this vehicle used with 49K miles. Within the first year it was in the shop for 3 different fuel system problems. After that point, it became a reliable vehicle, with only minor issues. It is relatively comfortable, drives nicely and gets decent mileage. Compared to other vehicles, repairs and service work are inexpensive. It is a plain, dowdy car, but it serves its purpose.

  Very nice to drive. Very comfortable for extremely long trips. Love to take it when I have to go to Kansas. Buttons are very easy to use and everything is in a good spot.

  Better luck next time - 2000 Chevrolet Malibu
  By two timer - July 20 - 3:09 am

  So this is my second Malibu since I started driving. Ive had a Hyundai, Nissan, a Mazda, and the two Malibus. Wrecked the first one, bought this because I liked the first one so much. However, in the past six months Ive had the water pump and the taillights mysteriously go out, didnt know that could happen. For the most part Ive been pretty happy with it up until now, torn between, fixing this one or getting a new car. $250 is my quote for the taillights, not even sure if that includes the dash and console lights that dont work as well. All in all a great car as long as I dont go out at night.

  By CEL - March 6 - 4:10 pm

  I bought car new and have put 166,000 miles on it in 7 years. The engine (2.8l) and transmission are great for what I paid. Have lived with 1and 2 blower speeds out and A/C kicking on/off for last few years. Twice I have had to have fuel pump replaced (in tank!). But overall I have gotten my moneys worth.

  33400 miles later Dependable car so far - 2000 Chevrolet Malibu
  By BJW from Chicago - December 31 - 10:00 am

  I bought my Malibu in May of 2000. It currently has 33,400 miles on it. The first thing that went wong was the selector knob for the blower. The blower was blowing out of of all areas. When we took this apart the black rubber gasket was not in place, rejusted it and now it is fine. My tires are cracked inside the tread. One of my tires is bubbled up on the outside & wobbling. No brake problems yet. There is knocking coming from under the hood until the car warms up.

  I dont think I will buy another Chevy. - 2000 Chevrolet Malibu
  By LauraG - September 8 - 6:05 pm

  In the beginning I loved my car, but recently it has turned into a "cartoon" car. It seems like things are always popping off of it. Cant keep a wheel cover on one wheel. The sun visor came off in my hand one day recently. Cant roll down one of the windows. One of the A/C buttons wont stay on. The speakers are crap. Sometimes my non existent anti theft system kicks in and I cannot start my car. The first time that happened it cost me $165 for the tow and to get it "fixed". In reality, they just reset the computer. It happened again a week later and when I called the shop they told me how to get it started. Just turn the key on ACC and let it sit for about 5 minutes.

  Problems, but fun - 2000 Chevrolet Malibu
  By DMaze - August 26 - 10:00 am

  Despite the problems that I have had, I really enjoy my malibu. I have had problems with the AC (a electronic problem caused it to flicker on & off - fixed under warranty), have had the rocker arm replaced, and am concerned about the life of my brake system. But despite the problems, I am really enjoying my car.

  No real problems - 2000 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Like my car - November 8 - 4:35 pm

  The car is roomy, and reasonably comfortable. I have not had the problems like I have read about but I have had the 1&2 setting on blower switch go out. The car feels solid and has plenty of get up and go for merging into traffic. I would like headlights that I could shut off if I wanted to, but really it automatic lights are a better idea so I dont have to remember. Car has 64000 miles and the water light came on. Took it to shop and they replaced a gasket. It was under warranty so it dod not cost much. The interior seems chintzy. Cheap pastic buttons and switches, but at least it is reliable.
