Chevrolet Malibu Change Vehicle

"Good acceleration for a 4-cylinder. Responsive when driving, whether changing lanes, turning, and stopping."

"It is (4) cylinders. It has good acceleration. I am pleased with gas mileage."

"Good response"

"Good handling and acceleration for a base version of this car."

"Sluggish acceleration rolls into corners Braking ok. Poor at handling bumps."

"There seems to be a catch or slip sometimes when accelerating"

"The acceleration is good considering the weight of the car & powerplant. Where this car truly shines is it's handling and brakes - outstanding, one of the best cars that I've owned or driven, and I've driven MANY, MANY cars in my lifetime."

"I had very little problem until I hit 65,000 miles. I had to replace the Mass air-flow filter. Car is back to running as good as ever."

"Not very sure footed on very wet or slushy pavement. Acceleration is good and it handles well on dry pavement ."

"Reasonable acceleration. Good handling in normal driving."

"Acceleration is excellent with the V-6; handles well for a sedan."

"It is powered by the 4 cylinder engine that performs like a turbocharged 6 cylinder. In over 200K miles I have had no engine problems."

"I love that when I hit the gas, the vehicle does not hesitate. It also has a small turning radius which helps in tight parking lots."

"The car provides all the power I need and handles very well"

"I feel confident in my control of the Malibu at speed."

"Engine control unit was reprogrammed, but still shifts unsatisfactory. Headliner too thin, sounds like you are in a tin shack when it rains. Lots of noise in suspension, handling only fair."

"It accelerates quickly --- very helpful when passing a slower-moving vehicle. It means I'm back in my lane, thus avoiding oncoming traffic."

"Comfort and ride"

"Great acceleration and fun to drive."

"One of the reasons I purchased this car is the good acceleration with a 4 cylinder engine and a 6 speed transmission"

"Acceleration hesitates and tachometer oscillates between 2000 and 3000 RPM when outside temperature is over 90 degrees. Have had this issue since I bought the car. Dealer could not recreate the issue but I have it every summer. From online forums, this seems to be a transmission software issue."

"Because I moved from a Buick to this nice Malibu I believe the handling on curves is not as easily done...the Buick turned on a dime...my Malibu turns on a quarter."

"The seats are very uncomfortable. I have not been able to get the driver side headrest in a comfortable position. My husband was hit from behind by a large SUV and the front seat detached. Fortunately, he was not injured from that."

"Very comfortable power driver's seat. Passenger seat nearly as good. Seat position is very good relative to reaching all controls. Noise level very acceptable. Ride is surprisingly good for such an economically priced car. Acceleration is ok for its 4 cylinder engine but is surprisingly quick if extra speed is needed when passing another car."

"seats are very low for the elderly to get in and out"

"Noise from outside could be quieter and the ride smoother."

"Ride could be quieter."

"Very good front seat comfort. Good driver power seat adjustment. Low noise with windows rolled up"

"Backseat is cramped leg room for anyone over 5.5’. Car is very low. It is awkward to get in and out . On the highway it is difficult to see around other, larger vehicles. When hwy conditions are bad and there is spray coming up from other vehicles as I pass them, visibility is perilously low at times."

"Great seats, quiet ride."

"I drive back and forth between NY and Washington D.C. on a weekly basis. It is a 350 mile trip. I find the Malibu comfortable, responsive and reliable."

"Very low to the ground. Can be difficult to get in and out of."

"Car was VERY quiet and smooth when I first got it. Over time, squeaks and rattles have increased dramatically. Interior plastics have shifted, loosened, causing constant little creaks/noises. There is a non-metal, maybe plastic panel rattling under the driver footwell that no mechanic seems to be able to find. What was once the car's best quality (quiet, smooth ride) has quickly disappeared and become bothersome, to the point that I am considering trading it in."

"The quality of the interior was disappointing. The driver's seat is worn out, something I haven't experienced in other GM cars."

"Contact Chevy Canada on multiple occasions to try and repair noise coming from right front rotors. No dealerships were able to repair this issue INCLUDING their company tech that had a look at it. The headlights and rear brake lights bulbs need to be replaced frequently ALSO...rear speakers are no long working."

"The interior seat material is very poor. It is very comfortable but the material is falling apart"

"The driver's seat is a very comfortable bucket seat, although the lumbar support could be better. The passenger seat is flat and uncomfortable. The back seats are somewhere in between the two."

"The seat covering that came with the car were terrible. I'm sure they would be worn out by now. I had leather put on the seats when I first purchased the car."

"Noise in brakes and stearing"

"The major imperfections are; a low door head clearance for a 6 ft. individual, a very rough ride and seats need more padding for a long drive. The inside air vent will periodically switch to outside air and stay on outside air."

"Road noise is very bad even after different tires. The passengers seat is not very comfortable on long rides. I'm going to have to take the car in for the second time getting the moon-roof to stop rattling. Some how it keeps having the same problem about 18 months apart. Something comes off or breaks all the time, I can't remember. But it makes a rattling sound that is very very annoying."

"Easy to drive, very comfortable"

"I T FITTS ME WELL AND IS COMFORTABLE"

"Reliable transportation w/o lots of frills."

"Please look at a domestic. Brand I have spend thousands less on total cost compared to my friends who own Japan based brands"

"Extremely reliable. No problems except normal replacement items."

"Excellent value up against Camry, Accord etc."

"108,000 miles with no major mechanical or electrical repairs. Starts every time and takes me where I need to go."

"Paid under $20,000 for this car in early 2010. Considering its comfort, which is high for at least the driver, its good ride, very good mileage especially on the highway and very nice handling, I can't imagine being able to duplicate this car in the future at anything near the price paid."

"Had the car 8 years with no major problems. The V-6 accelerates well and it handles well for a sedan."

"great value, good MPG good ride, good storage, ,would buy again"

"Contact Chevy Canada on multiple occasions to try and repair noise coming from right front rotors. No dealerships were able to repair this issue INCLUDING their company tech that had a look at it. The headlights and rear brake lights bulbs need to be replaced frequently ALSO...rear speakers are no long working."

"Price of autos were down in 2010 and this car was cheaper new than a 1 or 2 year old equivalent Toyota plus it had a 100,000 mile warranty on the drive train. I wanted a Ford but couldn't get my desired color at my price so I "settled" for the Chevy. Great decision. At the time I was commuting twice a week to a work place more than 100 miles from home. I quickly discovered that the Malibu power seat was just what my bad back needed. Great! Love it! Then long highway driving gave me more than 31"

"I have enjoyed a pleasant, relatively trouble-free, ownership experience for the total period I have owned this vehicle. I have recently passed the 70000 mile mark and am still on the original equipment tires (Goodyear). I will probably buy new tires for the upcoming winter period (Michigan)."

"The design of the car does have blind spots. But an excellent value great style and is fun to drive."

"Good price for a decent car"

"102000 miles. Drives very much like the first day I bought the car. Only repllaced the rear stabilizer bars. Replaced front brale pads/"

"It only had 3600 kilometers when I bought it"

"It's very low to the ground and I feel like I have to craw lout of it. Luckily my son drives it all the time."

"Style of the car"

"1957 Chevrolet classic style, this has that same style."

"The LTZ has nice lines even today 6 years later as opposed to the BLAH of the non-LTZ. Malibu. However I am comparing the 2000 year versions and this years standard Malibu has better lines than the older one."

"Styling is fine but visibility is comprised."
