Decent car with good fuel economy

Great little car. It handles well in winter conditions for being FWD. The 4 cylinder get incredible fuel economy. The interior on the LTZ's is beautiful. The turning radius is just terrible though. Its not tight at all. The only other complaint that we have had about this car is that the transmission went out at 98,000 miles. That was very discerning to us so we have decided to sell it and we may not be getting another Malibu. However, its been a great car and we love Chevy.

Not reliable

I spent far too much on repairs, especially rebuilding an automatic transmission I didn't like in the first place. The car had a hard time choosing a gear. The car was comfortable. I liked the style. The interior features were nice, and worked well. It just wasn't mechanically reliable.

Very reliable car.

This car was a great car and saved me ton of money in gas. The front seats had a lot of comfort and thing I wish the back seats had a little more leg room.

Safest car out there

This car has been used by 3 people ever since it was bought and we have never had a problem with it. It is a very reliable and safe car not to mention very comfortable. The only thing that I have to say negatively is that it doesn't have a wide turning radius.

A Mix Between Luxury and Practicality

This sedan is roomy and comfortable to travel in. It's also very stylish and pleasing to the eye. I love the features for example--music volume automatically turns down when you slow down. Also has bluetooth to take calls while driving
