Worst car ever.

Bought it new. Has 6,000 miles on it. Engine doesn’t run right. Transmission doesn’t shift properly. GM says no lights on no problem. No problem my foot!!!

Decent car, but ...

I test drove the 201& Chevy Malibu LT with Navi and sunroof. It rode like a decent car. But the hard touch plastic and VERY LIMITED amenities, unless you get the Premier trim were turn-offs. It really is sad when GM makes a beautiful car on the outside, besides my new Optima, I think it is the most stylish in the mid car segment...but on the inside and the EXTRA cost on the safety features....not impressed

I am in LOVE!

I owned an older Malibu and wanted another Premier Malibu. Love this 2018 even more. Tons of upgrades and safety features. Car is like new, under 14K miles at purchase. Herb Chambers of Danvers was great. Love My Malibu.

Not What I Expected

There are quirks to this car that I did not notice during my test drive. Flooring is coming undone and I have to fix it every time I get in.
