2012 Chevy Malibu

I love my car. It has had only one thing done on it, but it's because of the dealership. And I plan on not buying another car for a while because this one is great.

Beautiful car, smooth ride!!

This car has been a great investment! I love the smooth ride, and it's not as loud as my 2005 Altima.

Best Car I've Owned

I purchased a used 2012 1LT Chevy Malibu and I absolutely love it. It is very reliable, fuel efficient, comfortable, and stylish. It has plenty of storage space in the trunk. Comfort was one of the most important aspects to me because I'm 6'2" and I am very comfortable in the vehicle. I'm able to sit comfortably without having the seat all the way back and I still have the perks of a mid-size sedan.

Love My Malibu

I bought my 2012 Malibu LT2 used about 6 month ago. Love this car. The Malibu is quiet, drives nice, looks good, and very comfortable on long trips. My only complaint would be that the roof line rolls down the side too far. I am 6"0" tall and have to be care entering and exiting the car, to avoid hitting my head. Definitely happy with my decision purchase the Malibu.

2012 Silver Chevrolet Malibu

I finally turned in my 2001 Dodge Stratus in July for a 2012 Chevy Malibu. So many years had passed since my last purchase that I was pleasantly surprised by all of the features. I was nervous at first, but after driving it for the first few weeks, I really enjoyed the ride. I'm really happy that I found this car and would recommend this model to others.

Love It, PERIOD

From the moment I saw this car I was attracted to it. I got it in RED. The color is beautiful and even better than the color is the handling and the room it has. I am the mother of 2 boys and they absolutely love this car and the room it has. I already took my first road trip which was more than 1,600 miles round trip and she did not let me down. The mpg was more than I expected it to be and the drive was so smooth and comfortable. I love the bluetooth feature for hands free calling and the Onstar service and I'm addicted to the XM/Sirius satellite radio feature. I will definitely be buying another one in the future without hesitation. LOVE IT!!!

2012 LTZ is Wonderful

My wife and I went from a 1999 Buick LeSabre, to a 2005 Equinox, and now the 2012 Malibu LTZ. I come from a GM Family, of Engineers, but this goes back a while. GM Hit a home run with the Malibu. I am awed by the power of the I4, and the solid, quiet ride. We got the car used, but it was a rental vehicle, and has been very well maintained. We hope to keep this car around a while. We loved the Equinox too, but it was getting worn out. Malibu is an awesome car all around
