Chevrolet Malibu (N-body). 1997–2003 (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, 2198, 2392 cm³ (I4 DOHC), 3130 cm³ (V6 OHV). Inoffensive, middle-of-the-road sedan, bringing back the Malibu name after a 14-year hiatus, on a stretched N-body platform (such as the Buick Skylark (1992–8), Oldsmobile Alero and Pontiac Grand Am (1999–2005)). Roomy and good value for money, with comfortable seats and features, but unrefined and noisy.
