2024 Chevrolet Malibu Sedan Consumer Reviews

I call her Mabel
I was in the market for a new car with good gas mileage. I waffled between the new Trax and the Malibu RS, and after driving both, chose Mabel. I've had her for a week, and it's been a blast to drive. At 6' 1", it's a bit of a challenge to get in and out, but not so much as to be annoying. Very roomy inside, and the outward visibility is much better than some reviews indicate. Very smooth ride, quiet cabin, and a pretty good stereo. In a strange twist, mine didn't come with Sirius/XM built in, but it plays thru my phone app along with Spotify. The kicker? It actually gets great gas mileage! I'm averaging 30+ in town, and 36.2 on the interstate at 75 mph. The trunk opening is a bit small, but the trunk itself is quite large. After coming off a 2003 Yukon, I'm enjoying the heck out of this car. UPDATE: I've had Mabel for 3.5 months and 13,500 miles, and still love her. There have been a couple small issues covered under warranty (radio glitches, weather strip, A/C vent), none of them related to mechanical problems. Still getting excellent gas mileage, and it's great on the road. It's a shame Chevrolet is discontinuing the Malibu. UPDATE: 9.5 months and 41,000 miles. The radio still glitches and the dealer can't fix it. The clearcoat started to peel off on the trunk, but it was re-cleared under warranty. Mechanically it's still doing great, and on a couple 150-mile trips got 42.7 mpg. It's still comfortable on long distance runs. Great car.

Love this thing
I've owned Accords, Sonata's and Passat's. All good cars but this is just as good - for thousands less. Solid ride, great features that aren't intrusive (hello Sonata). Great MPG

Likes good ride, interior space, fairly quiet Dislikes. Required new windshield to make many of the camera related safety features function, had a leaking coolant hose, no Sirius xm radio---little or no factory or dealer quality control
