Overview & Reviews

Fully redesigned for 2008, the Chevrolet Malibu is now roomier, more powerful and of notably higher quality. It shares a platform with the Saturn Aura but is definitely not a simple rebadge, as it features unique exterior and interior styling along with different suspension tuning for a softer ride.

• Strong performance from V6, excellent ride and handling balance, roomy cabin, comfortable seats, very good fit and finish.

• Some ergonomic gaffes and subpar cabin materials, no rear center armrest, a few key features are unavailable.

  Excellent - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By AC - December 27 - 9:13 am

  This car is a joy to drive. Mine is 2LT and the list of options for this level is amazing. I compared the Camry, Accord, Altima, actually I looked at everything from small cars to luxury cars, the Malibu is probably the best value in the marketplace. My criteria was to get a car that was comfortable, fun to drive and gets good fuel economy. The 4 cyl has plenty of power and that power is smooth. Initially I was concerned about getting a 4sp auto when others offer a 5 or 6sp with a 4cyl but this trans shifts so smoothly and works so well with the power generated from this engine. This car is so quiet, very little road noise. Test drive this car before you buy, youll be glad you did.

  Truly an American Revolution - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By SomeGuy - December 21 - 2:13 pm

  Just bought the 08 LTZ. Very great car. Now, I didnt start off with anything great, but this is a very solid car. Style is great, its distinctive without being too outlandish. Interior is awesome, Ive gotten many compliments on the two tone leather. Plenty of power, so its not a dull driver. If your looking at a midsize car, and dont feel like being Accord/Camry no. 4574 on your block, this is a good buy. Even if your deadset on the Honda, Id step into a Chevy dealer, if only to find out what else is out there. You might be surprised

  Low Price and a Ton of Included Features - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By chameleon - December 19 - 8:13 am

  I was looking to get a safe car (we have a 1 year old) to replace my 95 Jeep. I am 63", so the telescopic steering column and moveable foot pedals are a huge plus (I even needed to move the seat forward a bit). The V- 4 is quite powerful, and very quiet. The included features on the 2LT for the price gave me reverse sticker shock. I only went for the optional sunroof and premium floor mats.

  Amazing for a Chevy - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By malibuman08 - December 17 - 4:36 am

  Its a great car and I would honestly consider it better than my wifes 2007 Honda Accord. Although the Accord is faste its a v6, the interior of the Chevy isnt quite as nice as the accord but its better than my previous Toyota Avalon

  Love this car! - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By roxcat - November 8 - 8:23 am

  I had a 2000 Malibu and liked it. But let me tell you, this car is so much nicer. I love the power, the quietness (I swear you cant even tell it is running if you are sitting still!) The interior is beautiful, I have the 2 tone gray, microfiber/leather. The heated seats are great too. I love all the lights inside when you drive at night. It is luxurious!

  Love my Malibu - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Linda - September 15 - 10:43 pm

  I traded my 2004 Cadillac CTS for the Malibu LTZ. The Malibu LTZ is a better ride than the 2004 CTS. Everyone thought I was crazy to give up a Caddy for a Chevy, I made a good choice. I got a lot more for my dollars. It is fully loaded, fun to drive and a great price. It handles well and is very responsive. Gas mileage has been good. Great job Chevrolet!

  I cant see the light - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By swhit3 - September 4 - 2:53 pm

  What a fun car to drive. It handles the road very well, even plows through the deep snow, I was concerned I might spend a lot of time in the ditch. It did great with the snow! Needs to have fog lights as a standard feature to help with the poor visibility of the low beam headlamps.

  Got It and Enjoy It - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Col H - August 20 - 4:16 pm

  I am pleasantly suprised and bought the 2008 2LT model with reservations. However, I am delighted with this car and feel like I definitely got my moneys worth from a Chevy. I have not had a GM for years because of the competition and decided to jump in after a test drive. I highly recommend this car for the money.

  Malibu Incredible For The Money! - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Bryce Jerd - May 29 - 1:16 pm

  For 22 grand, they have really provided a dynamite vehicle. I hope this did not come too late for GM. Would be a total shame for this car to be brought down by the overall company and economy. Honestly this vehicle rides every bit as good as a BMW with double the sticker shock. I would be extremely nervous in Germany over the quality and fair price of this car. We do not miss our Mercedes SUV not one bit. Dear Lord why did it take GM so long to build a car this solid?

  Great Car! - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By rluck9277 - May 15 - 8:06 pm

  I just bought my 2008 Malibu, it is a 2LT with 2.4L and 4-spd auto. It is a great car, best ride and handling of a midsize car I have been in. Bought with GMs employee pricing for everyone deal, and saved about $2500 of sticker price. The interior and exterior design of this car are very classy, and look more expensive then it really was.
