Pros: nice ride, car seat works in the middle
Cons: been in twice in 14 months for brake work
The Bottom Line: It could be worse but It could be a whole lot better . Read the epinion for warnings
Last year we returned to the states and my wonderful hubby decided we needed to get me a new car because that way it would last us many years and would come with a 3 year/30000 mile warranty. I was against the idea because I hadn't really driven a car in ...

Pros: Reliability, ease of use, engine and transmission performance
Cons: Cushy breaks.
The Bottom Line: A perfect family car which will give you no headache and many years of trouble-free service.

Pros: This car is a smooth, comfortable ride that allows you to enjoy driving.
Cons: I am not used to anti-lock brakes, so they are bit touchy for me.
The Bottom Line: You get what you pay for and so far, I am very pleased with everything about my vehicle except for the name.
I bought my 1998 Chevy Malibu LS about a month ago. So far, I think it is a great car (although, I have seen some opinions that would state otherwise). Now, you never know, I may be on here in another year or so mourning the day I ever bought my...

Cons: Terrible brakes, known electrical probs, lots of repairs
I traded in my rusty but dependable 1989 Toyota Tercel with 165,000 miles for this 1998 Malibu with less than 5000 miles on it. I was looking for a bit more comfort and an automatic transmission to ease my "golfer's elbow". Unfortunately, I've...

Pros: low price, great styling, roomy
Cons: quality is questionable
My husband and I bought a Malibu LS because we worked for a subsidiary of GM and were able to get a price below invoice and great financing. A similarly loaded Camry would have cost us about $5,000 more and didn't seem worth it at the time. We had had...

I bought my Malibu LS after hours of research. I had had my heart set on a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry. While reviewing Consumer Reports I stumbled upon the Malibu. It had a pretty good write up so off I went to take a look.

Pros: Great value for a mid-size car
Cons: Doesn't drive well over bumps or off the paved path
The Chevy Malibu is a beautiful car at a reasonable price. The back seat has plenty of room for three people and also folds down to give you more trunk room. This is the perfect car for a mom with kids. Its not too large and not to small. It does well...

We began looking for a new car shortly after our son was born and realized a 2-door sports coupe was not the ideal family car. We had seen the Malibu commercials on T.V. and decided to take one for a test drive.
The Malibu had all the...
