Mubahlub (Malibu, RS)

It a car, and it performs fine. This is my first new car in about 45 years. In town averaging 31+. 35+ highway MPG. OnStar setup and client support is discombobulated. No one knows what they are doing and provide wrong information. I will not ccontinue past the trial. At over $35 monthly it is not worth it. Especially as my Samsung cell phone can do better. Their 4G subscription is not needed if you have a modern phone.

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!

Problems after problems! Driving down the highway at 70mph and it just randomly shuts off / acts like a computer reboot and car freaks out. Been to dealership 3 times no fix, only 22k miles

While my car was at the repair shop, I signed up for a rental and was given a Malibu. I loved that car. It was so easy to drive and the inside was very easy to figure out. When my car becomes to expensive to fix, I plan to get a Malibu.
