Good basic sedan, but not a top choice...

24000 miles on my 2015 Malibu LS company car so far. GM has made many improvements over the years. My 2009 Malibu was not a reliable car. For a good, basic family sedan, the 2015 Malibu is a decent choice. It's fairly comfortable. Acceleration is good. Gas mileage running about 29mpg avg so far. Exterior looks great and the new standard aluminum wheels are nice. Paint is nice as well. Much improved over older GM quality. Modest handling. FM reception terrible. Rear view is awful. Many blind spots. Suspension is poor in that the car is "busy" constantly moving around on it's suspension while driving. You may not notice this unless you have other cars in the family to compare it to. But, when I hop into my 2013 Mazda after driving the Malibu, it's night & day better, smoother, etc. So in summary the Malibu is a decent car unless you just happen to test drive a Honda Accord, Mazda 6, Passat, or Nissan Altima (among others). I would recommend any of those over this car if it was my own money on the line. (This is a fleet car for me)

Worst experience I’ve ever had with a Chevy.

Auto stop sucks, stabile track light and engine light always jumping on. Making the car shift and jump real bad. Had to put it in shop 3 times. Best thing is not to buy a used one. That’s my mistake never again.

So I've only had this vehicle a couple months and I absolutely love it! I was looking for something mid sized and decent on gas and I drove the Malibu and I really like it. The ride is decent the road noise is acceptable . I really think GM did a good job on the 2015 Malibu. I just feels tight and rattle free. The driver seat is probably one of the most comfortable cars that I have owned and a very long time period I am 6' 0" and I weigh 230 pounds. My only complaint is the oil Pan top seal has a very small leak which is about and $1100 repair. The car had 49000 miles on it when I bought it. I like the car so much I will keep it then have the leak repaired when it becomes more of an issue

This vehicle was a replacement for a totaled car. So far it has met or exceeded expectations it's very comfortable and the auto stop feature is a nice fuel saver that doesn't hurt performance. It's a 4 cylinder so it's not gonna win any races but I have never felt I needed more power to feel safe in highway conditions it's also extremely quiet which I love. I have the LS base model so extra features are few and far between but that's to be expected everything works and I've had no issues would definitely recommend this vehicle.
