Still very happy with our Malibu
Source: Cars.com

...It has since turned out to be very reliable as much as our 1997 Lumina was. Since the suspension issue we've had a brake job, a new battery and a new alternater, besides tires and oils changes that is it. We have the 2.4 twincam I4, though rough running it has been a great engine and has great get and go. Felt comfortable getting this engine as my mom had a Quad4 in her Grand Am, again a rough running engine but has gobs of power.My wife loves this car and even though it is 10 years old refuses to give it up. We have added keyless remote and I just added an autodimming rear view mirror to it...

Malibu ready for the SS version
Source: Cars.com

..."This is the best Malibu GM has produced since the late 60's".Performance, Styling and Reliability are just the beginning of the story.
I have over 36000 miles on my 2009 and have enjoyed every mile.
Comfort level is great on long or short trips and so is the Performance.
Great gas mileage and power when you need it for passing.
Handles like a sports car and I would recommend GM bring back the SS version just for the fun of it.
The six speed automatic is vary responsive and can only imagine what a six speed standard would do.I would highly recommend this car to my...

My last Chevy!
Source: Cars.com

..."I like the car in every way except for reliability.
The car was good until 30,000 miles. At that time it needed and intake gasket (a little soon for an engine gasket
!) It was good for another 10,000 miles. At that time I needed to have the ignition re keyed for the theft system.
Soon after that It need front end work. At 40,000 miles the transmission needed an overhaul.
I took the best care of this car since I bought it. things just seem to go wrong way too soon. I now have 42,000 miles on the car and I am getting rid of it!"...

Be careful
Source: Cars.com

..."Be careful if you buy this car. I bought this used in 2004 from a dealership and have spent over $3000 to keep it running.
The head gasket and lower intake manifold gasket just went.
I have given up on fixing it - again. I have replaced the fuel filter, the entire gas line, the ABS (twice), the entire brake line, and multiple other things...

'06 Malibu Maxx LT - This was THE ONE
Source: Cars.com

..."I had looked for months online and on lots for a new car.
I had my heart set on getting a hybrid like the Saturn Vue until I test drove it.
I test drove dozens of cars but nothing felt right until the Maxx. The first one I saw was gold and it turned me off but I kept looking and found my black beauty...

A boat of a vehicle for a rental
Source: Cars.com

...It pushes back against your foot which makes it very difficult to drive on long trips. I rented this vehicle a week after renting a Chevy Malibu. The malibu handled much better and was a better all around designed vehicle. Although the Malibu could have used an additional 12v outlet. There are 2 on the malibu and 3 on the Impala. Overall If I were to have to pick which vehicle I would purchase between the two. I would choose the Malibu it is a much better value for the money and is a much better handling vehicle."...

I will buy American from now on
Source: Cars.com

...Very Cadillac like. The side glass is double-paned which contributes to the quiet ride. It handles very well and stays flat in the corners. Trunk space is huge! The seats are very comfortable and the gauges and controls are easy to see and use. My malibu has the 2.4L 4 cylinder because I wanted good gas mileage. It has great power and I get 33 mpg on the highway and average 29mpg on a tank of gas. The only thing I dont care for is the 6-speed transmission. It shifts from 6th to 5th gear on the slightest hill. Chevrolet should put a CVT transmission in this car. Then it will be perfect! I love...

Pure road trip pleasure!
Source: Cars.com

..."After rolling our beloved 2004 Malibu Maxx - and walking away unscathed - my husband and I replaced the car with the Malibu LTZ.
After a road trip from Cincinnati to Florida and back, I've absolutely fallen in love with it.
The car handles beautifully and the V6 provides plenty of ready-and-willing horsepower.
(We test-drove the 4 cyl. - don't bother!) The ride is smooth and extremely quiet, even when cruising at 80 mph, and the braking is very responsive.
The leather-wrapped wheel is nice and beefy, with "positive-grip" bulges to keep you at 10 and 2.
I haven't used...

I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good car. Cons: There is nothing i dislike about this vehicle except for the blind spots in the front. but overall its great Overall: Great car...

A lifesaver
Source: Cars.com

...I was impressed with it's quick responsiveness and great handling and smooth ride. A monthe later I was called in to work. It had all ready snowed a good 7 inches. I wasn't sure if I would make it there. Fortunately my tires had a great amount of tread on them. I let it warm upo for 10 minutes and then started to drive. I begin spinning slowly. The traction control quick-in and got me out of the drive way. Also i was impressed of how great the ABS worked while stopping; IT was stopping on dry roads. I My next endeavour was climbing the big hill before the main road. Last I got stuck. It went...
