Bought used in 2020, Carfax read a couple problems but all were fixed and no big red flags. Engine light turns on after a week, bring it to my cousin who has been a mechanic for years. Can't get it off. There was nothing wrong with the car, engine light was just on. Reduced engine power for about a year. Finally I just bypassed the engine light so it wouldn't reduce the power. After a month the electrical issues begin. Gauge cluster on, off, on, off constantly while i drive. Engine stops working, had to replace. Every winter the battery dies 2-3 times and needs to be replaced every Winter. Finally got rid of it and bought a Mazda. DO NOT buy a 2013 malibu. Car looks cools though and is pretty comfortable.

The oil consumption was a problem right off the back, lost an engine because of that and the transmission replaced I would Not recommended this vehicle to anyone dropped a used engine and now there is problems with it a year later omg I’m so done put a lot of money into this car IM DONE

I have owned the car for about 15 months. It is a good car. There is an issue with burning a little oil. This is a known issue. I almost traded it in when I realized the oil consumption issue, but I stuck with it. I add almost a quote every two gas fill ups. I purchased it with 62,000 miles. I am a salesman and I put nearly 30,000 miles on it in the past 15 mos. Mostly highway. I had to repack the bearings in the rear wheels. This set me back about $1,200. Not good. Other than that, the car has been fine. I plan on driving it another year.
