Maxx
Bought a new 2006 Corvette at same time. Maxx is my work vehicle. Gas mileage is low (approx 22 mpg overall), performance is great. Suspension can be a bit tricky near the limit. Brakes were typical Chevy, poor. Replaced with aftermarket calipers/disk/pads. No surprise here as almost all Chevy brake systems are weak. Overall, very nice car for the money. Maxx will run circles around all the midsize sports sedans until you get into M3's, S4's and turbo stuff like a WRX. I am happy.
OK, just OK
Car drives OK. Mileage is way down from listed numbers. I do like a lot of things about this car but mileage is not one of them.

Maxxed Out Mamma
I've owned this car for two months now, and still can't wait to drive it every day. As a realtor, you couldn't ask for a better vehicle. Tons of back leg room and great cargo space that fits all my signs. People stare at the car all the time when I'm driving it. Those who do approach me about it can't believe it's a Malibu. I almost didn't test drive it because it was a Malibu. I really wanted the Impala SS. But after comparing everything, the Maxx SS won hands down. Drive this car before you make a decision to buy and you'll be hooked too!
Drive
Great fun car! Dogs comfortable riding in back. Problem w fuse box, then speed control sensor in front wheel. Both problems were addressed and taken care of very fast. Both times car did not break down. This car is always a conversation peice! Great handling car, top 10 saftey rated. Very fast, great for long trips, and plenty of space inside.
Good Car
I have been driving Saabs for 20 years. The Maxx is on a Saab platform. Fit and finish not as good but engine has more pep. I like the hatchback. Price is right. Seats good.
