2003 Chevrolet Malibu -
We bought this car new in 2004. Within the first few months that we owned it, the steering column locked while driving and we had to have it towed. That repair was covered by a recall. It had two costly brake repairs, the trunk release stopped working and then the automatic locks kept going up and down, even when the car was not being driven. The air conditioning only worked correctly for one summer. We have had to do several repairs on the A/C. If you are driving 35 mph or over, do not put even one back window down most of the way. For some reason, I hear a persistent, loud thud noise every second that it is opened and it feels like my eardrums are being sucked out of my head until I close the window.

Story
I crashed into a goose and screwed up the front
Pros
Gas Mileage
Cons
The look of it.
2003 Chevrolet Malibu - Good cheap and dependable
I just recently received an 03. It gets decent all around fuel economy. There is a lot of room to pack nearly any size person. Decent audio system. Good mid size car for cheap. Tires could benefit from being wider but not bad with the stock one.
Story
I use it all the time to go out fishing with(hauling the canoe).
Pros
Gets almost 30 mpg on the highway. In the city is in the lower 20
Simple maintenance. Car is easy to fix and work on. I like the spacey interior. I'm a big guy at 6 feet 4 inches tall and weigh 250 pounds. I can comfortably fit into every seat of the car.
Cons
Head gaskets tend to go out on these. This is due to the temperature at which the fans kick on to cool the engine. Apparently the temp sensors have to yield a fairly high reading for them to turn on. The body control module is also sketchy in these. They tend to go intermittently bad. So one time it will work fine, then could suddenly totally shut down all power to the inside of the car.
