  • Is Chevy coming back?

    Sep 17 '03
    Pros: Interior quality, power, comfort, shifter, value
    Cons: Steering feel, torque steer?, LS sedan tires, headrests, not designed for aggressive drivers

    Summary: Chevrolet has been losing market share fairly steadily for four decades—longer than most Americans have been alive. Through the mid-1980s it regularly contested Ford for the most sales. In recent years it has lagged by hundreds of thousands. Worse, ...

  • Chevrolet Lemon

    Pros: It still runs?
    Cons: Reliability, fuel mileage, interior quality, lackluster performance, etc, etc.

    Summary: Have had a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Classic in the family since 2005.  We bought the car with 12,000 miles on the odometer, and everything was fine for the first year or so.  Since day one (with us) we always ran Amsoil synthetic, kept up with ...

  • Love this car!!

  • Poor sight lines

    Dec 27 '04
    Pros: Spacious, comfortable.
    Cons: Poor sight lines. Inconvenient locks.

    Summary: Note: This is not a comprehensive review of the Malibu. Rather, a few observations I did not see noted in other reviews. I am writing as a long-time Mazda Protege owner and fan who may not appreciate all the Malibu has to offer, because it is not the ...

  • 2004 Chevrolet Malibu: Great Value in a Family Sedan

    Nov 25 '04
    Pros: Reliability, Seat Comfort, Quality and craftmanship, Roominess, features and value
    Cons: Engine thrash, tires squeal

    Summary: If you are looking for comfort and space in a new family sedan, you should think about the 2004 Chevrolet Malibu. In fact, GM has done a good job of packaging lots of space in this car for passengers and luggage. Just take a look at the interior of the ...

  • 05 Malibu V6 - A big step forward

    Nov 16 '04
    Pros: Desirable V6, good gas mileage, now a serious alternative to Camry/Accord
    Cons: styling, reliability unknown

    Summary: I got to drive the Malibu V6 05 sedan for a couple of weeks, and give it a good try out. I had read a little about it and with us being a 5 person family, we are keen on something of this size. Most people are opting for the Camry or Accord, in ...

  • Great Value: Performance, Handling, Comfort, Price

    Oct 21 '04
    Pros: Price, performance, handling, braking, mileage, and comfort
    Cons: Reliability is suspect.

    Summary: I bought my Malibu LS in January 04 and recently passed 12,000 miles. I am very satisfied with this car. We went on a 4,000 mile trip, the seats were comfortable after spending 8-10 hours day in the car, and the interior is quiet with plenty of room ...

  • An American Evolution

    Oct 08 '04
    Pros: Handsome looks, Low Price, Good interior room
    Cons: Subpar seating, Weak engine, Sluggish and silly manumatic, Not fun to drive

    Summary: This is not evolution as in Mitubishi Evolution but evolution as in a warmed over redo on a staple of the rental car business, the Chevy Malibu. While the new model looks substantially different from the one it replaces, rest assured that it is no ...

  • A Pleasant Surprise

    Nov 08 '03
    Pros: Quiet ride, impressive list of amenities, great styling great value for the $$$
    Cons: No memory seat or mirror setting, console is a little bit cramped

    Summary: I have just put about 500 miles on my new 04 Malibu LT. I thought I would be a little disappointed, making the move down from a Lincoln Town Car. I was pleasantly suprised at just how much car the Malibu is, and what a great buy for the $$$ it is turning
