I bought my first malibu in 2000, watched for the new model coming out in 2008, which I wanted ,since the model was awesome looking! I received it as a Christmas gift , I love the color and I Love it all around. Chevy did Awesome on this model!

I've always owned Japanese carstest drove the honda accord and drove my father in laws camry. both the 4 cyl and 6 cyl malibus truly drive better than either model. I was suprised to find that the 4 cyl honda accord was quite underpowered.

people frequently compliment the nice look to the car (and are suprised it's a chevy).

if you drive a lot and need to make phone calls, the standard bluetooth on the 2009 is great.

I've had my 6 cylinder LTZ for about 2 weeks and so far am very happy with it. I am averaging about 23.5 mpg with 60-70% city driving and 30-40% hwy.
this truly feels like a quality car. if I had known at the time there was a 4 cyl ltz, maybe would have bought that for the better mileage.

Just bought a 2009 LTZ 4 cylinder 6 speed auto. So far, so good. Nice ride and nice looks. My wife just recently bought a 2009 Altima 2.5 SL. I feel my car just beat her car all the way around from performance to drive to looks. I think GM is on the right track, keep up the great work!

The L4 is adequete and gets reasonable MPG's. Does well on the highway.
The ride is firm, almost sporty, but comfortable. Gives a feeling of confidence.
The interior in my opinion is excellent. The Cocao and Cashmere interior Colors with the White Exterior are a winner. Add the Chrome facia Wheels that look better than most factory Alloy wheels and it is a very attractive package.
The interior egonomics are superior. They layout makes sense and the large buttons and knobs will allow you to make adjustments even wearing gloves. Important to us up north. Add to that the security and conveience of OnStar and you way ahead of the competition.
The exterior is a beautiful package for a 4dr sedan. The use of a rear side marker lamp that allows for a clean quarter panel is a nice touch. No more ridiculous looking Tail Lamps wrapping around from the rear. The exterior is aggressive, sporty, and sleek without being obnoxious like so many others. I enjoy driving this Car.

I love my Malibu! After owning two Acura's and a Mercedes, I rate this car right up there with them! It is probably one of the most comfortable and luxurious cars for the money. The redesign and classiness of this model makes it feel, ride, and drive like an expensive foreign car. Chevy really out did themselves when they made the new Malibu! I give it 5 stars all the way!

Chevy has a winner. I have the four cylinder six speed trans and love the combo. I just took a long trip and was able to pass long trucks with ease. Averaged twenty seven. Every once in a while I find myself out in the garage admiring it. Do yourself a favor and drive one. Buy American.

I am looking to purchase a new car. I figured I would rent several cars to find out how they drive. I was hoping that GM had finally hit a homerun and was making a dent in the automobile world. I decided I wanted a real test so I drove this new supposed world-beater by GM from Wichita to Montana (I also drove several other vehicles on this same route).

The Malibu is the worst new car I have ever driven. The seats were pathetic, the way this machine handled was horrible, and this vehicle struggled horribly to drive from Cheyenne to Sheridan Wyoming. If this Chevy struggles being a new vehicle just wait for a couple of years when it will be a no go. The sensors were terrible, for example the tire sensor went on claiming that the right front tire was low – the tire that was low was the right rear. I also had to add three quarts of oil due to the fact it burned up oil at a tremendous rate.

Best car in my test drive Honda Accord, next Nissan Altima, than Mercedes-Benz C350, than Toyota Cam. and the worst vehicle - the Chevy Malibu.

Im purchased my Malibu in May 2008. This car is fantastic, the ride is smooth especially for a 4 cyl. vehicle. The style is a neat looking vehicle as well as the inside interior. Plenty of room and comfort. Now I cant say enough about the gas mileage as thats just terrific. I would highly recommend the Malibu to anyone.

I traded in my 01' Malibu and loving every minute of my new LTZ. Lots of power to pull the hillls around the area.

i traded in my four wheel drive suv for this car (2009 LTZ) - bought it within the first 15 minutes at the dealership and I couldn't be happier - the gas mileage is great and the ride is quiet and smooth. This car turns heads everywhere the outside looks like a sports car and the interior is luxurious - and yet it is comfortable and practicable

Great piece of American-made craftsmanship!
