  The new Malibu Maxx is innovative and performs great. It offers a smooth ride with all the bells and whistles. Great car for the price.

  I Am Happy - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By tjintenn - May 24 - 2:00 am

  Gas mileage has been as advertised, 22 mpg in town and 31 on highway in 2 months/2000 miles with the Maxx. The adjustable pedals and telescoping wheel were necessary with my 62" frame. Driving the Maxx is much more enjoyable than my previous minivan.

  MAXX to the Limit - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By RoxanneN/J - May 24 - 2:00 am

  Just bought the MAXX this week. Love it. Kids Love it. Traded reliable Malibu for MAXX with SUV space without SUV Maintenance. Opted for the LS version and bought individual DVD players for my 2 kids at $130.00 a pop. Dont need Onstar, but can install later if need to. Cheaper than installing the DVD Entertainment System. After seeing this at the Auto Show. I patiently waited for the MAXX. SUV Space w/the feel of a car and w/out SUV Price, Gas & Maintenance.

  I love It! - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By angie d - May 15 - 11:13 am

  I have had my car for 2 years now and I really love the style and the way it drives. Ive only had 1 mishap with my car and that was with the automatic light system. I ran out my battery by leaving my car on and forgetting about the lights. That has been my only mishap.

  Lot of car for less - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By chevyownerof4 - May 13 - 10:00 am

  Between the GM rebates, GM card earnings redemption, end of year dealer discount,and GMAC rebate, we saved over $10,000 off the window price of $23,150. Truly a lot of car for the money! The styling takes a little getting used to, but the creature comforts in this base LS model with the preferred package is just overwhelming.

  Like this car alot - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By brbakery - April 5 - 10:00 am

  Nicely designed, sporty, comfortable, very pleasant, and not big at all, but tons of room- and I have no love of cars- they are a necessary expense. Has great standard features I would never get if I had to pay extra. Nice dash, recommend getting power driver seat. Havent gone through my first tank of gas, so not sure about mileage. Hope its good in the snow. Got a great deal with the rebate. Was looking at: Vibes. Previously owned: geo prizms (no frills)

  A very cute car! - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By ladygreeneyes - February 27 - 2:00 am

  Love the cars interior, comfortable, easy handling, visual ability...unfortunately the stats on fuel mileage by the manufacturer are not accurate...they state 22 city/30 hwy...Im getting 17+ to 19 Hwy. The dealer service is telling me I "have to break the car in...give it at least 1200 miles". I didnt have to "break" my Impala in...it was right on the money!

  So many things to say... - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By christiehall - December 16 - 7:10 pm

  Where to start? I bought this car from a used car lot in October 2011, with just over 100,000 miles for $6,500. The seat frame needed to be welded, and the other side did later. The water filter needed replacing, the belt broke in November 2011, left front wheel bearing broke in January 2012, air conditioner broke in May 2012, right front wheel bearing, spindle, hub cap, and others melted together in November 2012, as well as left front wheel bearing breaking again, back seat handle is broke, two remotes, CD player is jammed, shakes when braking, cruise control half works, etc. etc. Bad car, dont buy!

  Love This Car - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By GrandMaxx - November 1 - 8:00 pm

  Am a "mature" woman & love the sporty look. People are always asking "what car is that?" Handles well and have taken several short trips (300miles) and me & a passenger have been comfortable. Love the hatchback-lots of room and easy to load & unload. Headrests are a bother-rearview obstructed-will try switching with back ones as someone has suggested. Fold down rear & passenger seat a plus. My son & daughter even enjoy driving it!

  Maxx LT is awesome - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By cronin722 - October 11 - 10:00 am

  A very fun and fast car. The console makes the front tight but the leg room is great in the front and back.
