What Owners Say
"Handles well, parks well (I can judge where the front and rear of the car ends)"
Anonymous, NJ (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"6 speed transmission enables the 4 cylinder engine to have a sprightly feel, and the car handles bumps well and handling is firm enough. There is plenty of road noise"
ROGER H., LA (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"under powered with 4 cylinder engine compared to previous Malibu that had a 6 cylinder. Otherwise a good performer. Serves our needs very well."
P M., IN (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"feel slighty cramped when driving"
WILLIAM N., NY (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"Easy to maneuver."
Lynn O., MI (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"Handles great with good acceleration."
Anonymous, OH (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"My wife drives this car 90% of the time. She has mentioned numerous times how loves how it steers and accelerates."
Robert B., IN (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"WE LIKE IT !!"
Anonymous, NV (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"Handles well but engine is a bit sluggish."
Bob O., KY (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"very satisfied"
Anonymous, PA (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"Could have better acceleration. Handling could be better and taking curves and corners could be more tight."
Anonymous, GA (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"Nice ride. good brakes. Entry requires a bit of stooping down similar to entering a sports car. Good visibility to front but not to the rear. Steering a bit slow but predicable."
- S., AZ (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"Large turning circle. Transmission sometimes shifts very hard. Transmission is often confused about what gear it should be in. The engine performance is sub par for a car that cost what the LTZ Malibu did."
Anonymous, CA (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)"It handles well in the snow. It is easy to drive and because it does not have much electronic equipment on it, it is easy to drive. There is less distraction so it would be a good car for a teen to learn to drive."
Lynn O., MI (2012 Chevrolet Malibu)
"Handles nicely, acceleration is poor. 4 cylinder is undersized and gets poor gas mileage, should have gotten the 6 cylinder."
