Bought this car new in 2012.
Bought this car new in 2012. Just quit driving it with 373400 miles. Only replaced the water pump. Transmission was never touched, fuel pump, alternator, heat, ac still work and original. Maybe I was extremely lucky but this car was awesome.

Lili is always very helpful and makes sure I know what’s
Lili is always very helpful and makes sure I know what’s going on with my truck from start to finish! I’ve never had a bad experience with her she’s the best!
Good car for the money
I have had this car for 9 years now. It only broke down once (my fault). Other than that. It works for what I need it to. A bit slow but that’s what you get for the price. Very reliable, recommended for teens who drive cautiously.

Great experience.
Great experience. The staff were lovely and not pushy at all. They explained everything clearly and walked me through all the purchase options. I ended up buying the same day with no issues. I would definitely go again.
2012 malibu ls 2.4
The seats aren't very comfortable at all they sit to low and hardly no padding . Dash board is ok . Hard to move around in side the couch. Blind spot h The rear headrest are in the way .for looking in the mirror.out back and quarter panel make looking when backing up impossible..stiff ride.car gets good mileage. The car doesn't need a 6 speed transmission.
