• 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.

  An Accord V6 for $5500 less - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By sunsete - November 30 - 12:24 am

  This car is bigger than it looks. Steering is silky smooth and silent. Good pickup when needed and excellent milage when driven prudently (36mpg city 44mpg hwy). Interior is built better than my office desk for bins clips and tables. Beautiful car I think much better than all the other triangles and jellybeans running around out there. Headlights are outstanding, really light up the road ahead.

  WE live in Lake Havasu City Az where we purchased our 2004.During the month of Dec. we drove it back to Mass. for the holidays.WOW what a woderful drive. The car handles with great ease and responds to all weather conditions. Considering the length (3,000 Mi.)of the trip it was very comfortable.The gas milage was excellent 33 mpg.

  My Green Malibu - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Joan Graham - October 27 - 10:00 am

  Love this car! Have leased this model twice and have never regretted it! It handles beautifully. Very little effort to drive it. The seats are so comfortable that I could drive forever and not get weary. Thinking of purchasing it at the end of the lease term. Thanks Chevy for making such a dependable care. By the way, my husband has one also! Joan Graham

  beautiful and nice riding car. - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Frank V - September 26 - 10:00 am

  This is a great car. The driving is great. The seats [driver and passenger] are very comfortable. I have the power seat and my wife loves it. The remote vehicle start is great also. My first long drive it had 29 miles to the gallon.This is to me a luxury car I can afford. I have received many [at least 15 or more] good comments. None so far. This car has the Onstar and XM radio also. One comment was from a "maxima" car owner who was really impressed.

  Easy to handle, and a pleasure to drive. Close the windows, crank up the CD volume, and life in traffic isnt so bad.

  great car - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By katrina1027 - August 2 - 2:00 am

  My experience with the car has been great. I had a 2000 malibu and i traded it in for the new model. I really enjoy riding in this car and my family does also. It rides very smooth and handles the road good. I can pick up speed quickly and i like that. It is a sleek new design and I enjoy all the stares that I get when Im riding in my car. People have asked me " what kind of car is that, and does it drive good?" , and all I can do is smile. I would recommend this car to anyone who has a family. You will truely enjoy it.

  More bang for your buck - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Brent Young - July 24 - 1:53 pm

  My wife and I are, or were, hardcore SUV owners until we saw and drove the newly designed Malibu. The price tag was a big hit as well. I would have expected to pay much more money for all the luxury. The car is far superior in the quiet department as well, and rides as well as a larger wheel based auto. I am a big guy, and the car is suprisingly roomy. Our best mileage yet as been just over 27 mpg, but that was only on a two hour turn around trip. I believe the car will do better on the long haul. Simply put, the car has really exceeded my expectations.

  Very Impressive - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Ladym - July 17 - 2:04 pm

  I recently needed to upgrade vehicles and when test drving decided on the Malibu LT. The exterior design is a great improvment from the previous bodystyle. Having put it on the Saab chasis is the best part. The ride is incredible, very comfortable and it has excellent leg room. The 3.0 Liter V6 has as much if not more pep than my previous Mazda 626 with the 2.5 liter V6. The electronic power steering is great. Also fuel mileage averages 32+ miles per gallon in all types of driving conditions. Interior design is great, including the heated leather seats. It has a powerful stereo and I also like the side airbag safety feature that has been added. Chevrolet has won back a customer.
