Total crap. If u have kids avoid this car.
My Malibu has been nothing but worthless. I have been dumping money left and right and the thing still doesn't stay going longer than a day or 2 but now some esc crap came on and now it's a threat to drive and I don't have the money to go buy another car right now!!

Save your money! You will thank me later I promise
My 2011 Chevy Malibu is by far my worst vehicle purchase. At 87,000 miles transmission went out and cost $5,400 to be replaced then again at went out at 105,00 went out again and had to have the replaced transmission replaced thankfully it was still under warranty and didn't cost me. I have never had any transmission problems with any of my vehicles except this one so I know it's not a fault of mine but a major fault of the manufacturer. Vehicle has poor power performance went taking off so be careful before you pull off an interstate exit because it takes much longer to pick up and go in this car putting you in danger of being smashed by oncoming cars. It takes a ovet an hour to replce a headlight bulb due to the design of car and can cost up to $200 to have it done for you! The key fob worked for about a year and has never worked again. The interior is very very poorly made and very cheap. The cup holders are to close together to hold 2 cups at once and not deep enough to hold most large cups so only choice is to hold between your legs. The cup holders in the doors are completely useless as they are shallow and won't fit a cup only a soda can that sits at an angle and liquid gets everywhere while driving. The dash is made cheaply and fades quickly no amount of quality shine spray makes it look better its just dull and can not be revived. The middle console has a pull up accordion curtin type thing that covers the cup holders and it's by far the most flawed design ,all it does is catch dirt in the deep folds and it's useless and very ugly. Front seats are cheap quality and don't recommend sitting for long periods. The back seat is very small and uncomfortable. The ulpostery is the worst and any drop of liquid leaves large water mark and the whole seat needs cleaned because if you try to wipe it, it only makes it worse. When I drive down the road my locks will be locking up and down lock and unlocking by their self. Its so annoying, distracting and imbarassing! When parked if I hit my overhead interior lights my doors lock on their own. My rear speakers don't work but once in a while they kick on sometimes while driving sometimes while parked then go out again. The manufacturer should be ashamed for putting their name on such a poor quality vehicle because I am now Anti-Chevy and I will never waist my hard earned money on anything they offer again!

Avoid at all cost
This car's transmission is terrible, needed a rebuild at 80k. Power issues every couple months, steering included. Not a fun or great handling car. Noisy. After around 130k miles things just started failing one by one. After thousands spent on fixing this car over a couple years, the car finally sits with a dead engine at 200k miles. It is going to the junkyard. Absolutely worst experience I've had with a vehicle.
