DOROTHY O., NJ (2014 Chevrolet Malibu)"this car has a 3-5 second hesitation when the gas pedal is pressed somewhat hard to pass or when you have to speed up to blend into traffic."
Anonymous, PA (2014 Chevrolet Malibu)"4-cyl. give excellent mileage and the turbo charger gets me off of the on ramp and allows me to merge with traffic with no problems."
Anonymous, TN (2014 Chevrolet Malibu)"Acceleration is great, greater than I expected from a 4 cylinder engine. Takes corners very well with no under steer or over steer."
DOUGLAS L., MN (2014 Chevrolet Malibu)"Just a very nice driving car. I had a 2011 Honda Accord with several issues, a 2013 Toyota Camry with front seat issues that most dealers, other than the selling dealer, would take care of under the bumper to bumper new car warrantee. The excuse was seats are a wear and tear item. I weigh 135 lbs."
