Not sure which year it was but my inlaws had to return 2 using the lemon law. It was a few years ago though.

I used to work for a rental car company. They didn't hold up very well compared to other cars. Granted, you won't beat on it as much as customers did.

I wouldn't buy one. No offense to those who own one.

My ILs had one from around then as did my BIL. They all hated it, thought it was a gas guzzler.

Edmund's gives it a 7.4, which is pretty good.

Summary

What Edmunds.com says
Chevy's non-descript Malibu is one of the best cars General Motors makes. Roomy, quick and loaded with features for a low price, it's tough to go wrong with the too-often overlooked Malibu.
Pros
Comfortable and roomy interior, speedy acceleration, contemporary styling, ultra-low price yet loaded with features.
Cons
No traction control, soft suspension, refinement is exchanged for low car payments.
What's New for 2001
Base models receive black rocker moldings, black molded-in-color outside rearview mirrors and a rear window defogger. LS models get front seatback map pockets. Both models receive auto headlamp on/off, new stereos and new cloth interiors.

I have a new Malibu, 2007, which is my car for work, which I drive as my personal car as well. Its roomy and a great car so far. My entire company (very large insurance company) drives them and has driven them for years. I am sure that if they weren't good, they wouldn't continue to use them as company cars.
