    I have had my Malibu for a full month now and am loving every second of it. I have never owned a Chevy prior to this purchase and am really glad I bought this one. What a beauty of a car, inside and out. Ive received many compliments about the looks of it and I feel very safe driving it too.

    I cannot find fault with this vehicle,it exceeds any car I previously owned in all respects. It is great in build quality,comfort,performance,economy and value for money.No previous Chevrolet has approached its quality. I heartily recommend it and best of all it is American!

    I feel that the radio/ stereo system could have been focused on more, with an upgraded system like the Escalades bose sound

    Overall satisfaction is high. LT model is loaded with enjoyable extras. Comfort is high for mid-size car. Dealer follow up far above expectations.

  • Economy plus great handling - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    After almost 3 years with this car, I am very pleased with it. I enjoy the handling and the zippy V-6, which gets over 30 mpg on the highway. It is chock-full of features, such as side- curtain airbags, all of which were much more expensive on import competitors.

  • A Lot of Car for the Money - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    A truly "American" car. Plenty of power from the V6 and a quiet, roomy interior. This car is built for the freeway rather than hairpin curves. Just set the cruise control at any sane or relatively insane speed and those interstate miles quickly melt away. The electric power steering offers very little feedback and the suspension is somewhat soft, although I always felt in control of the vehicle.

    Good American built vehicle - it is about time. Hopefully it will holdup over the long term as well as it is now.

  • Superb car! - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    The redisigned Malabus are great, as long as you get the bigger V-6 engine. The extra features are great too, like remote starter on a cold day and the way the seat fold down.

  • I like the Malibu. - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    I like the style and feel of this car. It turns and drives nicely. Love the gas mileage this vehicle gets (better than the camary). It also has a very quite ride. Overall a very good car.
