Safest car

This is the safest car I've ever driven. It was totaled in a car accident and none of the passengers in the car were injured.

Really Nice Car

This car is really great. Good gas mileage and most of all it's comfortable to drive. I really enjoyed this being my first car. It has been everything I could need it for. Especially with divorced parents traveling was great in this car.

Great transportation and a good looker

This car was bought new and I always liked the way it looked. It has all the options, so it has been a comfortable ride for me. It has been very reliable, with only maintenance items requiring attention. At 22mpg city and 33mpg hwy, the fuel economy has been terrific.

Very Good value and it has plenty of features

I love this car. It is stylish and a good value for the price. Good gas mileage and comes with some good features. The only issues ive seen/heard of with this car is that the intake and exhaust solenoid valves on the top of the engine need to be replaces. They are not expensive and are easy to change. I have only had to change the intake one once. They are both located right by each other.

2012 Chev Malibu LTZ

Its been a good looking, efficient and reliable car. The car has been surprisingly good in winter weather, with a good traction control system to help the long-wearing Goodyear Eagle LS tires.

Glad I bought my Malibu

Very good car. Only thing is when you run VIN # it states Bluetooth and XM radio. Mine is not equipped with these. Only down side I've found so far.
