This Year's Model Updates:

The Malibu gets little in the way of upgrades for 2003. There are two new colors to choose from -- Summit White and Medium Gray Metallic -- and a new seat fabric on LS models. ABS brakes are now optional on base models, but remain standard on the LS.

Pros:
  • Comfortable and roomy interior, low price, ample feature content.
Cons:
  • Poor expected resale value, not as refined as top-selling Japanese family sedans.

  • Wonderful - 2003 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    I had previously driven a Malibu before and fell in love with it, so when it came time to buy a new car, that is the only car I would even consider. I love it. It is very dependable, and low maintance. I love my car so much, that in only a month I have put 2000 miles on it, I love driving it it, it is comfortable, and drives very well. I dont what else to say, except that Malibu will be the only car I buy from now on.

    best car i ever driven

  • Epic Value - 2003 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    Lots of Bang 4 the Buck! Thats the Malibu! The V6 engine has lots of spunk! The transmission is smooth and responsive. Stopping is linear and seamless even without ABS. We love all the space-enough back seat space for 3 car seats side-by-side-by- side with trunk room for lots of gear. But the biggest reason we liked the Malibu is the epic value. Where else can you get a midsize car with a V6, auto transmission, cruise and CD player for under $250/month? You heard me right-under $250/month with no money down! Thats with 0% GM financing and our $3,000 in GM credit card earnings, but even without that, its worth every penny and more!

  • Great style at a great price - 2003 Chevrolet Malibu

    We love our Malibu. Few cosmetic problems on delivery (scratches and interior grime) of which the dealer took care of right away. Awesome sound system plenty of storage, and an oversized, "flat" trunk which looks huge. The fold down rear seats are very useful. The features and additions were very plentiful and affordable. We are VERY happy.

  • Mailbu worth the money - 2003 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    For a peppy fun to drive car under 20,000 test drive a chevy mailbu. My car is silent only when you blow the doors off civcs and other punk cars cant you hear the car make noise. Also the factory sound system is very simple to use while driving. The best part is the cup holder next to the steering wheel it has already come in handy many times.

  • Excellent car, especially for the $. - 2003 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    This is an excellent and impressive car for the money. Good power, and handling and ride as good as the Camry. Very quite, as good as the Camry except for a little noisier engine - at least when accelerating hard. Has just about everything one would want in this class of car. Very good stereo (we have the upgrade), comfortable seats (again, since ours is the LS, the seats are an upgrade over the base - do not like the seats in the base). Very roomy. The original Firestone Affinity tires are the only down side. I replaced them with Dumlap SPs. They improved the ride and handling, especially in the rain.

  • Automotive Bargain - 2003 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    This is one of the few automotive bargains in todays market place. Good features at a relatively good price.

  • My New Malibu Review! - 2003 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    I absolutly love my new Malibu! Its convenient yet sporty and attractive! The engine has good pick up and the stereo system is very sharp! The rear spoiler gives that sports car look with out the inconvenience of the small size. I will drive my Malibu until the doors fall off!

  • Best Bang for Buck - 2003 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    I bought my Malibu in November 02. It has ran great so far, but the gas milage isnt as great as I would like it to be. I have the base model with the remote keyless, aluminum wheels, and power widows, locks, etc. I love the color which is the new medium gray. Over all considering I paid 15,000 tax and all, I would say that I got a great car at a really great price.
