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.

  Im surprised is not a Camry! - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By jjstokes - January 24 - 1:46 pm

  This vehicle is a great purchase. I use to only drive Toyota or Honda. Know that I am driving a Malibu, I am pretty impressed. The only but I would say about this vehicle is that I should of have gotten a large engine.

  Toyota & Honda Beware! - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Ken - January 5 - 4:03 pm

  We have been looking for a midsize car for some time now and thought we would wait after I saw the 08 Malibu. We looked at Toyota, Honda & Ford and after driving the Malibu we were sold. So far with only a few hundred miles on it and a tank of gas we averaged in mix driving 27mpg! Great for being new, hope to get better. Interior room is very good and trunk is large. Planning a trip to Florida in the spring and I think the Malibu will be coming along. If you are looking for a new vehicle you must put the Malibu on your list and you wont be disappointed.

  Drvie before buying and import. - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By llaga - December 17 - 4:10 pm

  Purchased the car for daughter, She loves the car, loves the XM radio and hooks her Ipod up to the AUX connector. I looked at Camry, Accord and Altima, this car felt better to drive and ride.

  A domestic is better than an import - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Chris H - October 29 - 3:46 pm

  I compared the new Malibu with the Camry and the G6. Hated the red lighting on the G6. The Malibu totally won out over the Camry. Better interior styling, better interior access to controls, and the coolest night blue lighting at the door handles and center down lighting. This car is very comfortable for me to drive (Im 65"). Definitely not the old styling of past vehicles.

  This car is a steal at this price. - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By hanktohendrix - July 29 - 4:50 am

  Three weeks ago I bought a black 2LT with 3.6l V6 option. I drive 2 hours each way to/from work. Ive already got 3,000 miles on it. I paid right about $23k, even with the bigger engine thanks to a $3,000 off coupon I got in the mail. I get 26mpg combined. If I ride it gently on the weekends I could get better, but thats usually when I have my fun. Instantaneous mpg is at 30mpg if I set cruise control on the highway! The ride is smooth and quiet, better than my dads luxury import. For a mid-size sedan it gets an awful lot of looks and compliments. It doesnt quite satisfy my appetite for speed/style, but Im not willing to pay for gas on a Mustangs V8.

  First Class - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Bill in Sumerduck - July 4 - 5:00 pm

  Chevy makes a first class sedan. Powerful, excellent handling, luxurious interior and European exterior. Ive been getting 25.5 miles per gallon using as a commuting car in heavy traffic. Really a smart looking car. I like the 18" wheels, twin exhausts, LED lights, etc. Very comfortable and the most quiet car I have ever owned.

  GM got this one right! - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By oklahomamalibu - June 30 - 9:06 pm

  I have only had the car a week, but I am impressed! I was looking at Altima and Sonata, but when I drove the Malibu, it was no contest. I cant believe the difference between this car and the 2007. Unbelievably quiet and comfortable. Interior is very nice - as good as many cars costing much more. I have filled up twice and got 30mpg and 31mpg with mostly highway commute miles. Plenty of power for me. Exterior styling is beautiful. Clean lines, great looks, everything goes together well. With so many standard features, I couldnt believe the price. The last GM product I bought was in 1988. Im glad to see GM is back in the game - and winning the game in my opinion.

  Great Car! - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Dave - June 17 - 1:56 pm

  Had a low mileage 04 Explorer, so I was looking for better gas mileage and a better payment. Found both in the 08 Malibu. I drove the Malibu and loved it. I ended up buying a program car with only 9500 miles. Shortly after buying it, I drove 83 miles to another city. Mileage calculator showed 37.6 avg mpg hwy. I forgot that the trip to this city was slightly down hill. The return trip showed 34 avg.mpg. Very pleased and the car is ultra quiet.

  Love It! - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Sam - April 29 - 4:40 pm

  I just got this car about 3 weeks ago, and I absolutly love it. Its very quiet, has all the features I need and then some, and its just a very fun car to drive. I do have a few small complaints about it though, such as the blind spots, the low beams, and you cant burn a tire! (although I dont think thats necessarily a bad thing) The car itself is beautiful and I am absolutly in love with the interior, especially the "ambient blue lighting" The gas mileage does leave me wanting more, but I am biased, my last car was a 99 Sunfire which got great mileage, but wasnt nearly as much car as this one is, so I guess its an even trade. People have even come up to me and compliemented me on it!
