Had this car 1.5 years and was at the dealer over a dozen time. I tried to buy an American Car... Very bad choice. I now have a Camry and can sleep at night.

2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
8 of 14 people found this review helpful

This is the Premier line which also sums up my disappointment in the car. The under dash rattle is in harmony with the door panels that chatter. The last GM I bought was 1988 and it will be another 30 years maybe before I try one again. In our family between the two GM's, 3 jeeps, 2 dodges, 1 Ford, 3 Honda',s and 2 Hyundai's prove that cars can be made that don't rattle. It's a sexy car and semi-fun to drive, just not enjoyable to own. It is a bad copy of a good import.

2016 Chevrolet Malibu LS 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Over 2.5 years ago, my dad bought a new 2016 Malibu, a burgundy one he named Lucille. So far, with just over 15,000 miles, she's had maintenance and being out of alignment after contact with a curb when she was a year old. Also was part of the recalls on these Malibus. Update: Lucille now has mileage in the high 30,000's, something like 37,000 and will soon need tires, no later than this fall. To date, she's been maintenance only, same as before, excluding the out of alignment and recalls.
