2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
39 of 40 people found this review helpful

I own a 2021 Malibu Premier and have also owned a 2019 Malibu LT. In my experience, this vehicle is very reliable if standard maintenance is performed routinely (as should any vehicle). I prefer the Premier model for the power and 9-speed auto transmission. The LT is good for economy driving. The handling is very good as well. The Premier recommends/requires using 93 octane fuel, which i stick to and recommend using that. So gas is more expensive. The LT has the CVT transmission, which is slow to shift and does not like cold weather! Must let warm up and go easy on transmission for first few miles. The one negative I have is that the interior could feel more premium, but its good for what you pay for.

Comfortable, smooth, quiet, fun to drive. I’ve taken it on several road trips and love everything about the ride, driver assist features and 2.0T power.

Outstanding efficiency. Comfortable, enjoyable ride, based on 60 mile per day commute in real mixed driving conditions.
