This vehicle has been remarkably reliable with no more than regular maintenance upkeep required. The Malibu Maxx is great as a family car. There have been zero rattles, surprisingly at a mileage surpassing 105,000. Over time the material has become filthy, with a few of the controls faded. Living in NWI, we experience all four seasons, year round. Snow falls are quite harsh, even with snow storms, and no garage. There are zero rush marks.
