    I love my new 2004 Chevy Malibu LT V6, from the outside, to the inside, its an awsome well built car! The gas mileage doesnt impress me much, but with so many standard features, and a low asking price, man, you should check it out!

    This is my first Chevorlet vehicle. I have owned nothing but Saturns since 1995. I was impressed by the look of the 2004 Malibu, compared to the other models of the car. But the test drive is what truely sold me on the car. It is roomy, with having three kids, I need alot of room in a vehicle. It handles like a dream, takes corners easy. And parking in tight spaces is easy too. The 2004 Malibu is truely a pleasure to drive and ride in.

  • I never was a Chevy man until.... - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    At 67 I dont have the luxury of being picky about which cars I can drive. Many auto makers both foreign and domestic seem to have forgotten the "large" market of car buyers. With a telescopic steering column and six- way power seat option I found no problems on entry and exit as well as driving comfort. When I found this car and sat in it and I thought "this is great room but how does it perform?" I was pleasantly suprised at the acceleration in this vehicle, very peppy in the 0-60 range under 8 seconds. All of that with an average fuel economy of 28mpg city/hwy, this is one of the most value minded car choices in America!

  • Kudos to the new Malibu! - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu

  • I cant belive my eyes - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    When I totaled my Volvo S60 i needed to get a car fast. and it had to be satisfying yet inexspensive it also had to be around the size of the S60. found the 04 malibu. I was surprised by the Malibus performance..its ride is very great and it gives me that secure feeling...its engine is very responsive. My son usually takes the car out and goes driving around with his cousin and friends, he loves it. It has that sleek yet muscular design that the s60 got. The interior is quiet and simple..If your looking for a car..this is it..its a bargan priced Euro or Import and is just as good and the V6 is priced lower that some competetors I4!

  • Very poor antenna - 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    This Cheve Malibu has the radio antenna in the rear window which performs fair on FM but is terrible on AM. Ignition noise is prominent 90% of the time. My dealer agreed to install an outside antenna at his expense which completely cleared up the problem. The FM is also more sensitive now. Strongly suggest buyers to negotiate for an outside antenna before purchase.
