  Good car for the money - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By maxlibbee - February 21 - 2:00 am

  I have a 1999 Malibu LS. Had to spend $1600 on some stuff at $28,000 including brakes which annoyed me. Car has good pep, and gets clsoe to 30 mog on highway. It cathes around 22 mpg around town. I also had to replace altenator at 38k which also annoyed me. Cost another $500 at dealer. I have two teenagers, I have taught to drive using this car. It has been fine

  CHEVY........MAYBE - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Annette Carey - February 18 - 2:00 am

  1999 - Had problems in the beginning....new brakes, new suspension and problems with the fuel pump. Had the extended warranty so no problem. Got fixed no charge. The paint job is one to be improved. Brush up against and scratch. Over all, since all problems were fixed runs like a champ. Had for 5 years and now giving to my teenage son. Always kept maintenace up....a good thing. Hopefully...things have improved and would purchase again if so.

  happy to sad in 5 mins. - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By once happy - February 11 - 2:00 am

  This was what I thought was a great car. Only owned for 1 year and had NO problems other than break repair and ABS sensor. But.... all of a sudden knocking... rod, need new engine, intake gasket leaking, all bad news... 5000 to repair or trade. Three weeks ago I would have bought another... today it would be difficult to get me into the chevy dealership...going back to the Taurus! The Malibu was "FUN" while it lasted!

  featured car/good price - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By davewfink - February 10 - 2:00 am

  I purchaced this car in Nov 1999. Since I have had it there has been some unwarranted repairs. The manifurctures front rotors warped within a year. Because of that, I had to replace tires as well. Antenna doesnt pick up stations well. It has been reliable, though. NO SUPER COSTLY ($800+) repairs needed. It is quite peppy for a 4-door sedan.

  Bad Engine - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By powell d - February 10 - 2:00 am

  the engine is advertised to last 100,000 before changing the spark plugs. dont beleive it. this engine is built on theory. the designers dont even know how to fix them. my engine has 55,000 miles and i already have to have it replaced. I change my oil and did everything GM suggest. this car is a Looser. GM built a good car with a low grade engine. Be ready to spend repair money. Rating = 3

  Im so ready to trade this in - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By MoJo411 - January 29 - 2:00 am

  I bought my malibu at 28K miles. The car is reliable, starts up every morning w/no problem. BUT I have replaced brakes 3 times, rotors twice, had to put new battery and altenator in, replace windshield wiper blades twice, get a/c fixed (and it still isnt working right) replaced taillights 3 times, and my a/c switch now only works on 3, 4 and 5. I have spend too much money on this car, probably more than Ill get for it at trade-in time.

  GM will have to win me back - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By cec28007 - January 12 - 2:00 am

  I have replaced the brake pads twice, my rotors are warped, replaced the serpintine belt twice, all four tires, replaced front passenger wheel bearing , and alternator. When driving 75 mph the car shakes, and there is still a bearing noise which comes from the front passenger wheel. In the shop right now having the head intake gasket, water pump and serpentine belt replaced. 3.1 L problematic, just look around the web, youll see. I thought Id give GM another shot at winning me over. Lets just say my next car will be a Honda. No wonder GM is loosing so much market share to Honda and Toyota.
