I love everything about my Chevy Malibu! It handles very well at all speeds and in all driving conditions from city driving to long trips. It also handles weather very well. Living in a part of the country that has hard winters, this is very important. The Chevy Malibu isn't held back by a little snow and ice! The seats are very comfortable for the driver and passengers. The roominess of the interior allows my whole family to fit comfortably, including one baby seat that fastens to the built in anchors very easily. It is great to have a USB connection to charge electronics are listen to an iPod or other devices. In addition to all of these wonderful things, the color of my Malibu is a very exciting bright red and the interior is black and gray. Even with all of the room for my whole family, she looks like a hot rockin' sports car! I LOVE my Malibu!

For the low price after rebates the Malibu is a great value. I've driven 25,000 miles in this car and haven't had any issues. There are no rattles or annoying noises like I've experienced in other cars. The factory tires are holding up reasonably well and I expect about 50,000 miles from them. I did expect better fuel economy, but an average of 27 mpg isn't bad. I can fit 3 child car seats in the back in a pinch, which didn't work in smaller cars. While the fold down rear seat is nice, the geometry of the trunk opening prevents anything exceptionally large to be stored.

I like the gas mileage as it gets about 30 miles to the gallon, and it is not as expensive to fill as bigger cars since it has a smaller tank. This car is very durable and has survived hitting a deer. Before we purchased it, the car had some sort of damage done to it and was submitted to a body shop where they repaired it and sold it to us after the owner signed it over to the body shop owner. One of the cons is that if you are a back yard mechanic you still have to take the car in for checking and adding transmission fluid unless you know where to look and how to do it - there is no normal dipstick on top of the engine like other cars. The size of the car is not bad but it really is not meant for large loads or car loads of heavy people - it is hard on the struts. The interior is nice and very comfortable while making driving much more efficient on the body. There is also a known defect in some of the cars that involve ignition switches and keys that require them to be taken to dealerships and have the ignition replaced as the faulty parts allow for the ignition to shut off while driving causing accidents. But this issue is corrected for free with the recall notice sent to owners. It's a pretty durable vehicle, and puts up with lots of miles and use. Easy to work on for tune ups and minor repairs. Easy to find replacement tires for, but hard to find head and tail lamps and they can be pretty expensive if you do find them. The car has a strong structure of metal and plastic. I would not trade our car for a million dollars - I love it, faults and all.
