I have only a few complaints about the Malibu because it is a perfectly acceptable vehicle. The seats are comfortable for extended driving, the steering wheel is well-designed and the leg room for the front occupants is quite spacious. That said, the leg room for the rear occupants is lacking if you have someone over the age of 13 riding in the back. The trunk is quite large and the foldable rear seats mean you can fit much larger objects than in a car that didn't have them. I have had no rattles or maintenance concerns whatsoever at 25,000 miles. While the car is nice overall, I feel that the engine is left a bit lacking in power when trying to accelerate on an on-ramp or to overtake.

I am so impressed with my 2013 Chevy Malibu. From the first day I saw then test drove my car, I knew it would be the best vehicle I had owned. To put it plainly, the shape, style, color and over all look is just gorgeous! I am very proud to walk up to my car in a parking lot, unlock the door and get inside. I was completely blown away by the gas mileage. On the highway this car gets at least 35 miles to the gallon. I know that may not seem like a lot with some of today's cars, but going from around 20 miles to the gallon, that's a lot. The size of the car is perfect with a small family. Two adults fit comfortably in the back seat with the center pull down console for drinks or arm rest. The sound system is awesome this car! You can actually turn the volume up and not hear the speakers crackle. There is a very cool secret compartment "hidden" behind the touch screen for the radio and all other things like Bluetooth, usb controls, XM radio, adjustments for lights, horn, locks and so much more. The truck is huge! Our family of three has plenty of room (with a little to spare) to pack for a two-week long road trip with a nine yr. old. The control of the Malibu is so smooth. The doors and windows block out the sound from outside and it's very easy to doze off in the backseat or passenger's side while the car is in motion. It just lulls you to sleep how comfortable and smooth the car runs. I highly recommend taking a test drive in a Chevy Malibu and buying one.
