Another hit for Chevy
Bought Malibu used with 35000 on the odometer put on in just the first year. Car runs like brand new. Backseat is a little snug but only gets used when young grandkids are around. Car is very comfortable and quiet and handles great at all speeds. Very stylish exterior and interior fit and finish is above par. Took awhile to get used to the touch screen but all is good now. Start/stop works great and is not even noticed. Overall a great car that we are very happy to own.
STAY AWAY!!!!
I PURCHASED this car sadly with only 12 miles. This car is a [non-permissible content removed] excuse my language but this car is just that bad. Seems like to me every body who has had the car enjoys it for the first year and thats when it all goes down hill.I dont know what everybody else car has done but I will tell you about mine. 1.After about 6 months the sun roof went out. 2.The interior where the carpet meets the plastic on the doors to secure it sucks almost all of it will come untucked. 2.The start/stop feature turns the car off when at a complete stop. One time I was driving approached a red light and stopped car turned off as usual AND FAILED TO START. 3. The ac unit in the back blows hot air 100 percent of the time. 4.The car will die a lot have jumper cables at all times .5 The car basically bucks every time the auto start stop happens. and the worst part about this is the "most luxurious package"

There are way better cars!!
This is the most unimpressive and uncomfortable vehicle I’ve ever had the unfortunate privilege to own. It’s cheaply made and just all around a waste of money. I’d recommend staying away from any of these models of Malibu’s.

If your a Chevy fan Malibu LTZ is #1
I have this car 3 years ago at Car Max it had 39,000 miles it’s the best car I have ever owned I love the fact on cold mornings I can warm the car up with the auto turn on!! It’s been a great even at 61,000 now just keep the synthetic oil changed and follow the manual guidelines for maintenance.

Great car/value$
Had for 2 yrs now,bought with 112,000km. Almost 207,000 now,going strong every day. My poor man's Cadillac and I love it! 2.5L comes alive when you need it, and gives superb mileage with well-designed 6-speed automatic. Only one complaint is Auto Stop NOT able to turn off! Pop Hood before starting... then close hood with car running still. Get in and drive like a normal car should be until you shut it off again and have to repeat process.

This car continues to surprise me!
From my first drive until today, I have always been impressed with this car. The get up and go is there. It’s not costly to fill up at the gas pump. I love the storage in the car. I love the way it grips to the road as you go around curves.

40K Carefree Miles
After 170K miles on a 2007 Malibu Maxx (with a whopping $70 in repair costs) and 100K on the 4cyl Equinox LTZ ($0 repair costs) it was natural for me to look at another GM vehicle. Found a good deal on a GM certified 2016 Malibu Limited LTZ with 30K miles, so decided to go for it. Thus far it has been like the others. Comfortable, reliable and economical (0$ in repairs & 34+mpg on the highway - averages 32mpg in my overall driving). My main complaint in the Equinox (same engine & trannie) was that it down-shifted too far on a long mountain uphill - engine screaming away at up to 5000rpm). The Malibu does a much better job, only dropping into 5th for long/steep uphills. If I have a complaint, it would be that my car has the standard speaker package and I would prefer the upgraded as I have in my two previous GM vehicles.
