Loving it
I purchased the Malibu and had it for a couple of weeks now and I’m very pleased with the handling of it and just all around class.The fuel mileage could be a little better but I still are extremely happy with it.

Engine Power Reduced
My car starting having an engine power reduced light come on though it still operates correctly. Dealer was never able to diagnose. I loved the acceleration on this car but I don't think I would get a Chevy again.

10 years of American fun
I’ve had this car for 10 years. It’s had some small problems over the years. Cam timing solenoid, oil pressure solenoid,2 bad abs sensor rings that are in the wheel bearings. Some rear and parking brake issues. So nothing too crazy. It’s been very comfortable, adequately fast, good handling, quiet and solid. The best - it is UAW made in the USA. Hopefully it keeps going strong.

Incredible
This turbo 4 cylinder machine, yes this is a machine. The pickup and speed is just baffling? What a pleasure to drive .This is actually a LT3. Not much difference from the LTZ. I have this car 10 years now and have No complaints. Good gas mileage, getting 29 miles a gallon highway and 20 city. . Not much city driving though. It's crystal red in color and had plenty of conversations with people about this car. What's nice is my wife likes to drive it and that's a plus. Believe me, she likes to roll like I do. Great sound system and comfort. In my 50 some years driving I can honestly say this is the best driver I ever owned. I park this in the garage with my 2010 Camaro and my 2001 Blazer. Just a happy Papa with my Chevrolets.

This car is a blessing from god himself!!!
This vehicle handles like a dream and is hands down the best mpg car I have ever owned. The stylish interior and the uncanny or almost supernatural exterior designs are amazing!!! It is an incredible work of art. I feel so blessed that I choose to buy one. If the word gets out this vehicle should be the car of the year no doubts about it!!!
Trunk is Junk
We bought our 2013 Chevy Malibu new. Just about two weeks after purchasing our car, I was driving down the road and cars were honking at me. So, I pulled over and found that the Trunk was Open. I thought to myself, that I probably forgot to shut it. This Trunk is Junk, I would find it open many times sitting in my driveway, driving down the road, my neighbors would even call and let me know my trunk was open. We took it to the dealership were we bought it, and they fixed it. Not long ago, I was out shopping for groceries and used the Trunk is Junk, big mistake! Later the next day my husband attempted to open the Trunk is Junk and it would not open, not by using the Key Fob nor the Trunk Button. I called the dealership and was told he just didn't have time as it was getting late in the day, and ask me to call back the next day. Later that evening I decided to see if I could open it in an odd way. LOL I got in the car and turned on the dome lights so I could see, then pulled down my back seats and started taking things out of the trunk and sliding them toward me, I crawled into the trunk and used the safety latch! Wah Lah! My Trunk the Junk Popped Open! I then put everything back in place and locked up the car. I told my husband I would be using my trunk in this same manner while out in public and he could video the episode and we could put it on the WWW. LOL. The dealership is awful. And I contacted Chevy, to no avail, so I think a video will go viral. I will never purchased a new or used Chevy Vehicle again in my life. We paid so much for this car just before my husband retired because we wanted a new car, I should have kept my little Ford Escort with 73,000 miles on it. I bought it new too. Trunk the Junk!

Mostly better than last model
I traded my 2010 Malibu LTZ for the 2013 ECO, and was expecting better fuel economy. While the upgraded interior and quality of materials are vastly improved, I can't understand why Chevy put in an inferior Pioneer stereo. I listen to the stereo every time I get in the car, and admittedly pretty loud with the windows down. The Pioneer has really bad distorcion cranked all the way up and I never had that problem in my 2010 LTZ.
Dashboard issues
I got car in 2015 and have noticed in the past I infotainment shuts down then comes back on………for the last month, my dashboard gauges have been going in and out at random times. Not trusting it on the highway right niw
It smooth
Malibu drives good and good on gas
Loving it!
Love the car, minor issues unless it’s electrical
