this car needs a 6 cylinder engine !
i have the classic but it did not show the classic model, it is the same just has a 4 cylinder not a 6 cylinder. it is a good car has not done any major work to it. only control module and tps. its been very good.
Great car the 2.0 is good on gas and very fast for a 4 cylinder!
Nice Vehicle
Pros: Power
Cons: Heavy Doors..Smashed Total Loss in Accident
Good Car...Awesome Power...But Weak Body. My Car was Total Loss in an accident with Honda Accord...Absolutely nothing happened to the 2002 AccordBlack Maxx - Great car! It's what I didn't think
Pros: Driving positions (I am tall) and roadability. It really is an easy car to live with.
Cons: Gas mileage. Awful around town (13-14 mpg); highway (23-26). Got 30 mpg once but I really had to softshoe it. Also, I'd like a 24v engine and a manual trans with at least 5 forward spd and AWD would be nice.
Between health and other problems, I got dropped into an uncomfortable position, financially. That improved somewhat when SSI retirement gave me an assist. I had rented Malibu Maxxes when I needed to travel and was quite impressed with their utility. A local Chevy dealer was going belly-up after about 4 or 5 decades. They had this black SS which caught my attention. Long story short, after some discussion, I got it for 25K, 0%down, 0% interest. Been a long time since I had anything close to a new car; and this really wasn't brand new since it was '06 and I got it in '07. The next year ('08) they discontinued Maxx which is really a Saab with Chevy running gear. Car gets terrible mileage around town (big engine?!), but it is a dream to drive. Handles extraordinarily well, terrifically stable, comfortable inside, adaptable to any need. I believe Chev should have done a major blitz on Maxx. They did not. I got 28+ mpg when I rented the regular Maxx (on the highway at 70+ mph).Pros: mileage
Cons: manual windows
Good basic transportation
