2000 Chevrolet Malibu Practical and affordable mid-size comfort. By Kevin Ransom Overview Chevy's Malibu is popular for its combination of comfort, quietness, practicality and affordability. This is Chevy's five-passenger family centerpiece. It has to compete with the Ford Taurus, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, the best-selling cars in America, but the Malibu makes a good account of itself among mid-size cars.

By Brendan Moore 08.10.2008 When I received a call asking me which Malibu I wanted GM to bring over to the office for a week of road testing, I did not hesitate in responding, “the loaded 4-cylinder”. It is not solely the current price of gasoline, and the subsequent demand for four-cylinder sedans that made me request the four-cylinder Malibu. I drove this same model during a press preview Read Full Story
