Bought 2016 demo Malibu and love it so far!

Great price and happy with car. But Chevy dealer I bought it from had terrible pre-delivery service (didn?t check car?s oil, wipers or tire pressure) so I had to return the next day to get all those items fixed. Since then, all is good with car. But I?ll find a different Chevy dealer for future service and purchases!

Amazing vehicle

The 2016 Malibu is a true bang for your buck vehicle. Granted mine isn't the entry level, but for what it cost me a month, the value of the vehicle can't be taken lightly. The engine and gas mileage is amazing, the quality of the leather is great and the quality of sound is great as well. For a "cheap car" as many will call it because it's not the Luxury brand, so many features and comfort are comparable.

Super fancy

This car meet every need. Downgraded from a mini van and feel like I still gave tons of space. Up to date features. Looks high end at a perfect price point.

Great value, great car

We've owned a 2016 Malibu for 18 months now, and it's been a joy to drive. We have the premium 2.0T, and the performance is excellent, especially for a family sedan. The car feels light and nimble, and is quick enough to do well on the mountain twisties. The interior is not revolutionary, but is well thought out and complete, with everything you need/want in convenient locations. The car has given us no issues and has actually garnered multiple compliments when out-and-about. Who would have thought a Malibu would be a good looking, sporty sedan that's actually fun to drive! This car is a peach.

Sporty and full of surprises

This car is great. I recently went from a full size Sierra truck and was reluctant to get into a car. I'm glad I chose the Malibu. The 2.0l engine feels like a V6, the interior is very comfortable (I'm a big guy). There's plenty of legroom front and back. I purchased the Premium which has leather, dual glass moonroof chrome dual exhaust 19" wheels etc, etc, etc. This car really left nothing to be desired and turns a lot of heads. I actually get a lot of compliments. Chevy really stepped up the Malibu this generation. Most importantly are all of the safety features such as lane keep assist, collision warning with autonomous braking. Only con (and I use the term lightly) is the factory navigation is a little bit not user friendly. However I use android auto for navigation (Waze) and Pandora and I'm set.
