2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx LT 4dr Hatchback (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

First off, the auto press nit-picking about the steering, gruff engine and interior simply are not true. The electric steering is just fine, it adjusts to vehicle speed and there is all the feedback of a hydraulic unit. I notice no difference and I have driven a lot of cars in my life. As for the engine, it's just as quiet and smooth as the V6 in my mom's Lexus RX300. The interior, well, on the LT it's cloth, not leather, but it's just as swank as my work mate's Accord LX - it's workaday, no doubt, but for a mid-line interior it's got what the others do. This car also handles and brakes very well, too. Don't let the press fool you - this car is every bit the equal of it's Japanese competition.

Favorite Features

TIght construction, handling, acceleration, fuel economy (avg 26.4 mpg so far in mostly city driving and that's with a 3.5L V6).

Suggested Improvements

Make steering wheel controls standard for all radios.

Review

Very pleased and surpised about the handling and comfortable fit of the seats and placements of all of the controls. Felt like I had this car for years, even though my previous car was a large rear wheel drive, the Malibu took no time getting used to it.

Favorite Features

All the controls seem to be placed in the right places. Fits like a glove.

Suggested Improvements

Place hooks for a cargo net up high on the rear deck for when shelf is in the highest position.

Review

I drive my Maxx 120 miles a day and I enjoy it very much. It handles great, is comfortable, and I get 29 miles to a gallon. Has style and my coworkers really like it. Some of them have gotten themselves one also. A great unit. Wished more people would try it. They would love it like I do.

Favorite Features

Style, handling, gas mileage. Have everything in sight of my hands. More equipment

Suggested Improvements

More equipment.. Improve on understanding this unit

Review

I absolutly love this car. It is a great car for the family without taking out style. It has good gas mileage, and I can always rely on it. It's a pleasant suprise. It's a plesure to drive and to look at. It can seat four to five people. It also much better than any SUV!

Favorite Features

My favorite feature is the rear DVD player. It definitely keeps my kids quiet on long trips. It gets lots of compliments from other drivers! I also like how roomy the trunk is.

Suggested Improvements

My remote starter could be better. Sometimes it starts and I can't turn it off. It also creates more heat which is good in the winter, but not so good in the summer.
