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.

I have now 172,000 miles on my Malibu. I have changed the tires twice as the original factory tires lasted me 80,000 miles I replaced the front left axel for $300 and put in a new battery. Haven’t spent a dime outside of that in nearly four years aside from regular maintenance. I’ve not had the very expensive service just the regular oil changes. I have abused this car and still it runs like a perfect machine. It is quite Road noisy at speed. The seats aren’t the MOST comfortable but cloth seats never are and I’ve had back surgery but getting in and out for me is easy. The no spare tire is a pain unless it’s a leak but I needed roadside assistance for a blown tire On Star is magnificent and the best thing GM have ever done I love this car. Not deeply as it has faults but that engine and transmission is amazing

Had a certified chevy preowned Malibu. At 30,000 mokes the power stearing failed, at 40,000 had to replace the front stearing rack. At 60,000 mass airflow sensor went out and gas cap sesnor. After mass airflown went out the car never ran right again. Would sputter and feel like it was running lean. Mechanic found that the secondary air pump wasnt working and barometric pressure would build up in engine. Nothing bu problems and sold it back to dealer we got it from.

Don't buy it with the start/stop system, I didn't do my homework and I wish I had, but unfortunately I knew nothing about this start/stop crap. When you test drive it, I didn't know, but the extra battery takes a while to warm up and charge then the fun starts. it has a constant miss going down the highway like something tugging on the engine and in regular traffic the transmission is clunky. My Nissan Altima got better gas mileage, had a smooth ride and it didn't have a start/stop system.The salesman told me nothing about this awful system, they know it's crap. So test drive it for a while and I bet you won't buy it!

I drove a 2015 Malibu approx 35k per year. I had the car for 2 years and all maintenance completed per schedule recommendations. While the car was in park, the car caught on fire and burned to the ground. I had less than 5 minutes to get myself and my children out unharmed before the car went up in flames. A very unsafe vehicle.
