Well, i've only had the vehicle 2 days, but I drive 150 mi round trip to and from work... So I have spent lots of time in the vehicle... the looks I get from Lexus and Mercedes drivers are very interesting, all drivers for that matter, it's a look of astonishment.

finally a fun american built car to compete with foreign mid size cars. no need to keep buying foreign cars of this class when we have this great new american sedan. fun to drive and good looking. where does edmunds find lack of power? maybe they should try driving the v6 model and leave the 4 banger at the dealership.

Best Bang for the Buck

I did a lot or researching on line and to get everything I wanted in a car it would have costs 30K or more. The Malibu save me 10K plus it has all the great safety features, good ride etc. My only concern will be the reliability. However, my other two cars have been GM vehicles and I have not had a problem with either one. If you are on the fence. Go for it.

I have not had one mechanical problem out of this car, It has very good handling but I have always wished that it had more get up & go..... The power is just not there, But for the price & monthly payments & dependability... I really can't complain at all about the Malibu...

LT: Great Value

Had LT since Oct 04. My main concern in choosing the LT over Camry and Accord was quality. So far, my concerns were unwarranted. You get a lot more for less money than you do with Camry or Accord. Especially like ABS brakes included. Like the ability to fold front and back seats. Gas mileage is 30+ on highway. I like the styling of the car and the brushed leather seats add a nice touch of elegance.

I went in looking for another truck or SUV and came away with this great car. I think a lot of people once they see the new Malibu are going to jump on this hot little band wagon!

The car is really peppy with the V-6. Absolutely LOVE the remote start feature on the cold winter mornings.

Drove most every mid-sized car before I came around to the Chevy dealer. I travel alot and need comfort when I am on the road. I was shocked at the new Malibu and the total redesign of it. And all for about 20k. Pick up is excellent, as well as comfort and mileage. I average around 28 mpg and the trunk space is amazing.

I purchased a 2004 Malibu in March of 08. It had 3400 miles on it at the time. I love my car it havent given me any trouble yet. Hopefuly it won't any time soon. Since I got it I have only had to do the normal things like oil and brakes. Oh I can't get my gas cap to stay on. The only thing I dont like about these cars is there front end is ugly. They look like bugs. The car has plenty of power and great handeling once you get use to the torque steering. I think it was wort every penny I paid for it
