Very reliable Malibu

This has been a great car. We needed a larger vehicle and purchased a 2018 Terrain recently and have no room for the Malibu. This car has been very well maintained. This is a great value and the next owner will no doubt be happy.

Good car for to and from work.

Comfortable interior, clean a little smaller than what I was looking for. Nice handling great cornering. Great gas mileage since my commute is 45 miles each way

So happy

I love my new car! I bought it used but in excellent condition. You can tell the car was well taken care of. It drives smooth and is just a dream.

Worked well for about 150000 miles

I feel like it?s the cheap version of the Chevy Impala. The interior is falling apart for example the back of the seat is coming off and the arm rest on the doors have started to come apart from the door. Ran decent for about 150,000 miles then my throttle body went out. It was cleaned then a month or 2 later it broke down again. After $500 the whole throttle body assembly was replaced and havnt had a problem since. I?m at just under 200,000 miles currently and my power steering just went out and will take about another $500 to fix.

A great car I hope to enjoy for years to come

I think this vehicle has a lot of class, heart and character! The first thing I liked about my 4 cylinder white LTZ Malibu when I first saw it was how it looked on the inside and the outside. The outside is clean, crisp and the chrome is a great addition! The interior is black, warm and comfortable! Although it doesn?t get up and go as fast as my `99 VW Jetta did it?s still a comfortable & enjoyable ride. I love how I can see so much better on the road ahead of me, especially with my headlights! I also love that this car is a great highway and city car! It?s a little longer than I?m used to but I can still park it (plus it turns better than my Jetta ever could). The gas mileage on my 2.4 liter cylinder is hard to tell if it?s better or worse than my 2 liter 4 cylinder VW Jetta that I had. It looks about the same so far. The inside controls are taking time to figure out. That?s mainly because I?ve never owned a car this new before. I still don?t know how to pause my stereo because I can?t find a pause button on my stock stereo. I don?t know if my stereo has Bluetooth and how to work it. I need to still Google that.

Awesome car !

Over all it's a great car, but it was sold to me with the two front speakers busted, without a heads up. I asked if there was anything wrong with the car that I needed to know and they said no. It's pretty upsetting. Thankfully it's not to expensive to fix.
