2002 Chevrolet Malibu

Even with its conservative design and unsportscar-like engine power, the 2002 Chevrolet Malibu holds its own ground. Because it is not a sports car, The 2002 Chevrolet Malibu was designed for comfort, quietness, practicality and affordability. It provides a good account of itself on the road, boasting fine power and handling, with a V6 engine standard on all models. Malibu received some significant revisions and updates the previous year. Changes for 2002 are minimal; probably the most noteworthy are new colors and upgrades to the stereo system.

The Malibu comes in two trim lines, the base and LS trims. Both are powered by a 3.1-liter overhead-valve V6 engine. The base model offers a respectable list of standard features, including air conditioning, anti-lock brakes, four-speed automatic transmission, power door locks, rear-seat child security locks, battery rundown protection, AM/FM/CD stereo, tilt steering column and tachometer. The LS trim comes with a better cloth interior and a six-way power driver's seat. It also adds a multitude of equipment we take for granted nowadays; power windows with driver's side express-down feature, dual remote electric outside rear view mirrors, cruise control, and remote keyless entry. New for 2002 is a 100-watt, two-channel sub-woofer system. The 2002 Chevrolet Malibu may not be the stand out in a crowd. But it promises excellent handling, plenty of power, lots of headroom, and a quiet and comfortable ride. Its practicality, reliability and affordability are its main feature.
