DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

I have not had this car a year yet. And I have had to have the shifter replaced, something had to be replaced in the engine because it wouldn’t go over 5 MPH. I have to replace 7 sensors in the past 3 weeks because they are going bad. I have had it in the dealership MULTIPLE times. Save your money and don’t waste it on a Chevy!

I wish I would have waited to purchase something else.its gold on gas but just basic. Nothing spectacular about it. It’s roomy of course. Nice trunk space

Great car to drive

It’s a great car, fun to driver very comfortable. I love the sunroof and these power seats are the best I’ve ever had. There is a lot of room for all of my passengers.

Not a guy buy for the money

Not enough usb ports, very noisy ride, no cd player, interior poor, seats are not comfortable - gauges are different but looks good on the outside. test drive it for a distance to judge

Water leaks into trunk

Mfg nor dealership will take responsibility for mfg default with water leaking into trunk. Constantly sopping water out with towel. Sealant tape is cracking and showing signs of rot. Water builds up arounf extra battery on driver side behind tail light. Nice ride, descent mileage(not good avg 24). Ive had two diagnostics done. One by dealership they waived 125$, another frebbie by auto body shop. Im having to lay in trunk while raining and storming trying to pin point leak. Can hardly wait to get my FORD ranger going and get rid of this black mold collecting vehicle.

Style but no reliability

Tons of issues, nothing covered under warranty and rude people in service acting like I'm bothering them asking questions. Never again will I purchase a Chevy.

Steer Clear!!!

The electronic transmission sucks xxx! Car technically shuts down at stops to conserve fuel. It will roll backwards if you stop on a hill. Electronic stuff going crazy, now when I put it in park a warning ?? comes up and says ?shift to park?.. Last night we shut the car off, the shift to park warning came up, the lights and the radio wouldn?t shut off and the key fob was in my husbands pocket and when he shut the door it honked like it does when the key is left inside. I?m so glad this xxxxxxis a lease!!! Don?t need to be stuck with the s#i+

Eco friendly Fast and Reliable

The Chevy Malibu being around for years this style by far my favorite they updated durability not all plastic body and sleek style make for better aerodynamics which save gas and money.
