Love my Malibu
I come from a Honda/Toyota family, but couldn't resist buying the Malibu after getting in one at the LA Auto Show. The interior design is better than all the competitors, although materials aren't as good as some. The ride is remarkably quiet and comfortable. The exterior grew on me. Its a great balance of aggressiveness, class, and distinctiveness. So far no problems except that one passenger door would not open the day I bought the car, but that was fixed promptly. I'm giving American cars a chance, and so far I am pleased.
Best Value Car & Model
This car surpassed my expectations. Save your money, buy the LS. The power is modest, but it's plenty to get up and go. I didn't care much for the 6-speed LT1+ models. A V6 would be great, but the only one's available were fully loaded (too expensive!). The cabin is very quiet and the car handles great. The only things I don't like about the car is the trunk opening - it's deep and wide, but you can't fit much through the gap. Driver's seat position and adjustment is a bit odd, but you get use to it. The steering wheel is also quite large and heavy. Other than that, it's a great car. I like it much more than my '09 Camry.
great looking exterior but wouldnt buy again...
wife loved it but is easily impressed. i've driven this car for 1 year now and bought it after describing the testdrive as "adequate" to her and the salesman. when i feel different, i will change my review. we bought it from dealer near end of 3 year warranty and the first issue to fix was excess wind noise due to thin metal and windows. it was heaviest in its class so seemed safer against larger vehicles, but feels paper thin. closing doors sounds tinny. poor mileage way never ever coming close to ratings is biggest issue with it.
Fun to drive
I bought the car a week ago. So far everything works great. The car is fun to drive, and feels very smooth on the highway at 80 mph. Have not really tested the MPG, but the DIC showed 32 on my last highway trip.
Great Car for the Money
I bought the 2010 Malibu LS for my daughter. Safety, fuel economy and utility were all high on my list. The car met all of those criteria, and surprisingly is a great driving and looking car. I travel a lot and have driven many rentals for comparison. Put the Malibu on your list - i can honestly say it ranks at the top of mine.
