Most fuel efficient car I?ve owned

This car is by far the best I have owned. The gas mileage on this one is amazing. I did buy the diesel model. It has plenty of horse power for the size car that it is. I could Not have asked for anything better. If you?re not a diesel believer try it you?ll end up buying it.

Great Car

This is truly a step up from any other modern Malibus. I purchased the premier in red. It turns a lot of heads with it's 19" wheels and panoramic sunroof. It definitely looks like a more expensive car. Ride is great, mileage is decent (not great on the 2.0 turbo). Technology is amazing.

Get one. Get the 2.0 its awesome

IS the best car I ever owned. Everyone compliments me and if I ever get a chance to drive it, since my wife has taken ownership of it, I cant wait to get in it and go. Great on the hywy. I get over 33 miles per gallon on hywy and rides like a dream with the 2.0 turbo. I hope I have it for a long, long time.

Just my opinion...

Mine was purschased brand new. It was purchased as a reliable daily driver. For the most part it's a "quality" American made car. The interior styling is mundane as with most cars cars in this segment. The exterior styling is agressive from the front which makes up for the lack of styling in the rear. After a year the car began to have slight jerking shifts with the transmission. When trying to accelerate the car would sometimes lurch into gear. The car is now at Chevy being repaired for Recall work involving damaged piston rods. Complete engine out service. All factory recall. At he local dealer there were 7 other Chevy Malibu's. Stay away from this Year model unless you know the factory recall work has been performed. Or have a Vehicle history report .
