I really like my Chevy Malibu. It is the first one that I have ever owned I am pleased with it. I drive it daily up and down a mountain to a ski resort and there are no noticeable problems. The gears cage properly when on an incline and it keeps it's power as I am going up the mountain. The interior is pretty high quality. The seats are made of a heavy cloth material and hold up well to children. They are very easy to clean and upkeep. The only thing that I really don't like about the car is the color of the exterior. It is black with silver flec and has a dirty look to it at all times. The shine is really hard to keep.

I purchased the 2010 Chevy Malibu in February of 2014. We had just learned that we were expecting our first child, and needed to sell my 2002 Chevy Cavalier. I liked the look of the Malibu, and had been a Chevy owner for 12 years, so I had a lot of confidence in the brand. The car sat comfortably and drove smoothly on the test drive. Our particular model had only 15,000 miles and the price was $12,000. This was extremely appealing. The inside of the car was immaculate and the fuel economy was actually very similar to my Cavalier, so the cost of ownership was not going to be vastly different than what I was used to. I upgraded the tires in preparation for driving to work in the snow, and the car did well. I have now owned the vehicle for over 3 years, and it runs and performs just as good. We maintain it conscientiously and it has never broken down or given us any trouble. I feel that it is a safe vehicle for my family, and we have easily been able to install infant and toddler car seats in the vehicle and it is easy for my son to get in and out now that he is three years old.
