Overview & Reviews

The midsize Malibu has been totally redesigned for 2004. It now rides on an entirely new vehicle platform and offers a more powerful V6 along with must-have safety features like side curtain airbags and adjustable pedals.

• Balanced ride and handling characteristics, plenty of passenger and cargo space, ample safety and convenience features, innovative remote start feature.

• Down on power compared to its competitors, lackluster interior, no manual transmission available.

  first time - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By KTM450 - March 23 - 2:00 am

  The car is an affordable sporty sedan with headroom that Honda and Toyota can not match. We love the shift by wire thumb control, using compresion to hold us back going down hill and aproaching stop signs. If you do not feel like the hassle of shifting the breaks are more than adequate. Passing acceleration from 65 mph - 85 mph is impressive. Ergonomics are excellent. All of the controlls are visible and accessable. The trunk has plenty of room for safety equipment and CHRISTmas gifts.

  Chev. Malibu-fun car - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Allen Paul - February 8 - 2:00 am

  The handling is sporty, the car has plenty of get up and go when needed, all instruments on control panel are easily accessable, and it is fun to drive. I went from a Chev. Venture mini van to this car and I love it.

  We love our Malibu - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By JimboInTheHouse - November 4 - 10:00 am

  We would have never considered one of the old plain Malibus but when we saw the new design we loved it! It drives and handles great. And the remote start feature has us so spoiled.

  GM offers value and reliability - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By RonD - October 2 - 2:00 am

  I am very pleased with the Malibu. It is quiet with a solid feel on the road. Handles rough pavement well and the seat are very adjustable, especially with the telescoping steering wheel. The engine is smooth and has plenty of power. The steering is a little too light for my taste, but my wife likes it fine. Only complaint is the tires are not up to the standards of the rest of the car. The handling is just adequate and I suppect the 15" Bridgstones dont have the grip Im used to.

  Happy go lucky - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Donna Gunman - September 27 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. I cannot believe that people still blindly flock to CVamry and Accord. This car is no Corvette or BMW. But it is a dream to drive. Although the styling is cute, I would like to see the new malibu to get a classier and sportier look.

  almost there - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By crusier - September 22 - 10:00 am

  Nice Car. Almost there except for new electrical assist power steering. Taking it back for service again. Fails after period of twitching in steering wheel. Re-start clears for a while. Big interior. I am 62" and have plenty of room thanks to adjustable pedals and seat. Plenty of power with V-6. Nervous about electrical stuff. Time will tell.

  Chevrolet Malibu - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Debra Shields - July 10 - 10:00 am

  I absolutely love my new Chevrolet, Malibu. It handles excellantly. I couldnt be more pleased. It is compariable to a Toyota Camry. Toyota has got some definite competition on their hands. In my opinion, the Malibu is much nicer all around than the Camry.

  2004 Malibu LS - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By TalkinMan - July 4 - 2:00 am

  This is really a remarkable car. Im upgrading from a 1996 Camaro LS, and although this car isnt as tightly wound as the Camaro, its remarkably fun to drive. Mechanically, the car has terrific acceleration performance, smooth shifter on the automatic. Even though its a taller car, it doesnt sway as much as I was fearing it would, so it corners well and tracks well around turns. Design-wise, there are some mysterious interior things, leading me to give it a 9 out of 10 there, but its beautiful on the outside. Perfect car in every way - I was comparing it to the Altima and Passat, and it simply blows them out of the water.
