I own a 2006 Chevy Malibu that I purchased in 2007 with less than 30,000 miles and still under factory warranty. First off I feel like I got a great deal on this car, purchased from a Chevrolet dealership, I was offered an extended warranty that I am more than grateful I took advantage of. Throughout my years with my Malibu it has taken me many miles on lots of trips all around the southeast United States. At some point my steering column went out and luckily it was replaced completely free of charge to me, shortly after that there was a recall on this same spot. If not for the warranty I believe I would have a much more negative review for this car.

I LOVE MY MALIBU. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2010 FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AFTER CAR SEARCHING FOR A FEW MONTHS. AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE, IT HAD 65,000 MILES ON IT. AT PRESENT, IT HAS 235,000 MILES. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS CAR, IT GOT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPG. IT IS NOW AVERAGING BETWEEN 27 AND 28 MPG. IT WAS DOING OVER 28 UP UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAD SOME WORK DONE THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE POWER AND THE MPG CHANGED AND ONLY GOES UP WHEN I TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE FOR LONG DISTANCES. THIS CAR DROVE LIKE A CADILLAC WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT AND STILL RIDES SMOOTHLY. THAT IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ALONG WITH DECENT FUEL MILEAGE AND BEAUTY. I HAVE BEEN MORE THAN SATISFIED. IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE ANY CAR IN THE $22,000 TO $30,000 DOLLAR RANGE, I WOULD PURCHASE A MALIBU WITHOUT QUESTION. THIS CAR IS QUITE ROOMY, ALLOWING ME TO CARRY ALL FOUR OF MY GRANDCHILDREN ON VACATIONS AND ELSEWHERE. THEY ALSO LOVE MY CAR, AND CONSTANTLY TELL ME HOW MUCH THEIR PARENTS WANT MY CAR. I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE BACK SEAT WILL LAY DOWN GIVING ME MORE ROOM IN THE TRUNK SHOULD I NEED IT FOR LONGER ITEMS. I HAVE USED THIS PERK ON A FEW OCCASIONS. MY CAR IS WHITE WITH UPHOLSTERED SEATS AND I HAVE LIKED THE LOOKS OF THE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND STILL DO. I DID NOT KNOW THE CAR TALKED UNTIL I ACCIDENTLY HIT A BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER BUYING IT. THE BLUE TOOTH SYSTEM SPOKE TO ME. I WAS ON THE PHONE AT THE TIME AND TOLD THE PERSON I WAS SPEAKING TO THAT I HAD TO GO, THAT MY CAR WAS TALKING TO ME. I HAVE NEVER REALLY UTILIZED ALL THE PERKS IN THE CAR BUT I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE THERE.
