"I looked for almost a year before deciding on the Malibu. I just got so much more car for the money. I am getting between 25-27.5 mpg. I drive an hour to work on the interstate, and that is when i have seen the better mileage. I was also looking and test drove the Altima and Camry. My biggest complaint is the comfort of the drivers seat. I test drove other cars and this car was the least comfortable setting in the drivers seat. I am not sure why. The car also sets pretty low, and for a taller person it is a long way down. The car does have a manual override and that was nice this winter when we had slush on the roads. Made me feel as if I had a stick shift again. Overall I am pretty happy with my decision to buy the Malibu. I just hope I will adjust to the uncomfortable seat."

"I bought this car despite sceptism and difficulty in deciding but I'm very glad I purchased the Chevy Malibu. The looks I get whiles driving is unbelievable,and ever since I bought it,the only thing I've done on it is just oil changes. The ride is very comfortable despite been 6" feet tall. You hardly feel any bump and when on the highway,a little tap on the accelerator zoom you pass all the acclaimed "Benz's " and others. I love my Malibu with shiny rims. I highly recommend it."

"I have no serious complaints about the car. It looks nice, has had no reliability problems in 34,000 miles, and averages 31.5 mpg. There is PLENTY of room behind me (over 6 foot tall) for kids, car seats, whatever. The seats are comfortable for 2 hours a day of driving, but the visibility out of the rear and side is very limited because of the size of the pillars going up to the roof. My main complaint would be a lack of power, and the resale value that has dropped over 10,000$ in just under 2 years."

"This is the nicest car I've ever owned, and, the first American car I've purchsed in many years after driving two Honda Accords into the ground. Ir's quiet, handles well and it's a beauty. Oh, and did I say I like that V6 engine! I'd recommend it in a heartbeat!"

"Seats not as comfortable as they should be. Smooth at highway speeds, but it takes a while to get there. Mine has chrome wheel covers, alloy wheels should be standard, this is a 1LT. Would like it better with different wheels but the OEM ones are very expensive. I wish I would've noticed that the gas door is on the passenger side. Had I have known that I might have chose a different car. it just bugs the heck out of me, I am used to the gas being on the DRIVERS side. GO figure. Needs better storage, the center dash storage is so shallow that it will barely hold sunglasses and a cell. The cup holders in the door are a joke, they won?t hold anything larger than a can drink. They only reason I bought this car is for the mileage and the fact that it?s sold by a US company. I have had bad luck with the few imports and blue ovals that I have owned. Overall is a pretty good car, just don't expect a lot of performance or storage for small items in the cabin."

"Comfort=unable to find a happy medium on seat setting-close enough to reach pedals then can't get out. Performance-acceleration of 4 cylinder LT very weak. 03 Focus outperformed-makes interstate driving hazardous. Just feels cheap when driving and I am a daily commuter of 100 miles per day."

"I has a smooth ride. You dont expect a lot of zip in this model, but it will surely get you around quick enough. The desidn in side and out side is great. Had serval comments about it. The steering is quick and easy to handle in heavy traffic. I thnink quiter tires to stop the road noise would make it a lot better."

"My wife and I bought this vehicle a week ago after doing a lot of research on four door sedans, and we were not disapointed. We have a 6 month old child and the car seat fits in the back with plenty of room for the person in the front passenger seat, I love the look and feel on the interior an the exterior, the ride is great and it gets great gas mileage, I love how I can preset all my favorite stations (AM and FM) on the radio display, and it hanldles very well in snow. It's just a great car"
