This is my first new car since 1978. I'm 70 now and in the past purchased cars from my brother or parents after a disastrous experience with a new Datsun 210 after college. My older Trailblazer was having mechanical issues and was not worth it to rebuild the front end and 4 wheel system. Originally we were seeking an EV but I can't wait for the delivery cycle. Our neighbors have a 10 year old Malibu and they are happy. Frankly I was scared to spend nearly 30k, but getting over 30 mpg in town and 35 for a long trip is better than the 16 we got with the Trailblazer. Interior is quiet. It is taking some time for me to adjust to the automation, but after three weeks and 500 miles, I gave finally figured it out. So all is great 👍 Nice looking car too!

I rented a 2023 Malibu LT for a one way, 800 mile, rental from Raleigh, NC to Venice, FL. I was impressed with this car and I was far more impressed than I thought I would be. The tiny 1.5 liter turbo had enough power and it was great on gas. I got 34 mpg while traveling at an average of 75-79 MPH - yeah, that means it was just two tanks of regular fuel for the 800 mile trip. The car is quiet on all but the roughest pavement and the seats were comfortable. Oh, and just like most GM vehicles, the A/C is second to none. Overall, this is a fine vehicle.

Rough ride, no rear window wiper, poor storage

I had the misfortune of renting a Chevy Malibu 2023 recently, boy do I dislike that car! It’s really long, but doesn’t feel large inside. In fact the trunk area sticks out almost a foot beyond where a “normal” sedan does. I guess this gives you a larger trunk, but it makes parking on city streets a non-starter. Further, there’s no rear-window wiper, and it really needs one. In a gentle rain yesterday visibility out the back window was non-existent and there was nothing I could do about it. Then there’s the radio/entertainment system. Sure, it connects to my cell phone decently well, but (like many cars) there’s no place to put the phone except in the very sparse storage holes in front of the center armrest. Why bother working with my phone if there’s no provision for the physical phone itself. Finally we get to the ride/suspension. The springs and shocks are surprisingly stiff, we felt every pebble and bump in the road, and even small pot holes caused the tires to flatten enough for the rims to get the shock, which went right to our posteriors. So uncomfortable! I will never buy this car, and am a bit surprised how shoddy this offering from GM is considering how many years they’ve had to perfect it. Stay away!
Love it
