Overview & Reviews
For 2010, the Chevy Malibu gets minor changes. Most notably, the six-speed automatic transmission is now standard on all but the base LS model, thereby helping to improve fuel economy. There's also standard driver power-adjustable lumbar on all models and E85 fuel compatibility for the 2.4-liter engine.
- Strong performance from V6, good four-cylinder fuel economy, excellent ride and handling balance, comfortable seats, straightforward controls, high crash test scores.
- Subpar rear seat space, no rear center armrest, hit-or-miss cabin materials and construction, a few key features are unavailable.

Consider this car - 2010 Chevrolet Malibu
By pghdrumr - March 12 - 2:42 pmI came from a honda, and I was VERY surprised at the quality that GM is producing. The car rides very smooth and quiet. The remote starter, power seats, bluetooth, sunroof all included in a super deal. Look for lots of incentives from the dealer, and plan to pay way less that sticker price. What an excellent deal for a new car with so many great features

Best Value Car & Model - 2010 Chevrolet Malibu
By ARoubik - March 6 - 3:41 pmThis car surpassed my expectations. Save your money, buy the LS. The power is modest, but its plenty to get up and go. I didnt care much for the 6-speed LT1+ models. A V6 would be great, but the only ones available were fully loaded (too expensive!). The cabin is very quiet and the car handles great. The only things I dont like about the car is the trunk opening - its deep and wide, but you cant fit much through the gap. Drivers seat position and adjustment is a bit odd, but you get use to it. The steering wheel is also quite large and heavy. Other than that, its a great car. I like it much more than my 09 Camry.

Best Value on the Road - 2010 Chevrolet Malibu
By Kristi Fuller - March 5 - 1:12 pmAlthough I just purchased this car I can say that it is confirming all of the research that I did on it before hand. In comparison to the other sedans in its category and price range it really beat them in terms of the reviews that I read and the safty crash ratings. My husband and I were looking for something new, affordable and safe to drive for years ahead. He and I will be putting alot of mileage on it between working and school. We also wanted something safe for the kids when we dont take them in the family minivan. We bought the most basic version of this model and there is nothing cheap or basic about it. You also cant beat the warranties on it.

Great Car for the Money - 2010 Chevrolet Malibu
By Mike - March 2 - 11:00 pmI bought the 2010 Malibu LS for my daughter. Safety, fuel economy and utility were all high on my list. The car met all of those criteria, and surprisingly is a great driving and looking car. I travel a lot and have driven many rentals for comparison. Put the Malibu on your list - i can honestly say it ranks at the top of mine.

Awesome buy! - 2010 Chevrolet Malibu
By rsharp - February 24 - 12:19 amI enjoy this vehicle. I traded 97 Benz and 02 Jag. Ride is comparable. Look is acceptable. Interior is very nice. Compartments are everywhere. The power is lacking, but not noticeable most of the time. Gas is cheaper. Overall, this is an awesome buy!

Smooth Ride - 2010 Chevrolet Malibu
By Hear ya - January 3 - 12:22 pmOk, I use to have a camry and have to say this Malibu rides 10X smoother over bumps! I could not believe it when I drove it. It reminds me of my old Maxim I use to have! Great car and extremely smooth ride for a 4 cyclinder!

Good Midsize Sedan - 2010 Chevrolet Malibu
By John in NY - December 31 - 10:47 amAfter 3 months and about 7,000 miles I have many good things to say about the Malibu. Performance is good and I didnt see a reason to get the V6. Interior cabin noise is very low for a four cylinder and very impressive (Chevy even uses laminated driver and passenger side glass). Steering, brakes, handling, all good. Interior quality much better than previous GM models. Soft touch materials and no more shiny plastic! I came from a Honda Accord and like the Malibu better.

This is the car you should consider. - 2010 Chevrolet Malibu
By rpike - December 26 - 7:59 pmI ordered, then picked up my Malibu in mid-August.I have 7,000 miles on it as of 12/09.This car is excellent inside and out.NO issues at all.It rides much more comfortable than my wifes 03 Volvo v40.In fact she ask to take my car out. Fuel sipper 30-33 MPG is 70%highway/30%city in Denver.The heated seats are much hotter that our Volvos. Interior much better looking and quality than Honda,Toyota,Mazda,and Ford. For me it came down to the Ford Fusion and Malibu.Did not like the looks of Accord or Camry.Malibu had better gas mileage than all the cars listed above. I researched this car for over a year and read everything I could find on it and GM. Why buy...MPG,styling,quality, craftsmanship.

Love my Malibu - 2010 Chevrolet Malibu
By First Chevy - December 22 - 2:41 pmI come from a Honda/Toyota family, but couldnt resist buying the Malibu after getting in one at the LA Auto Show. The interior design is better than all the competitors, although materials arent as good as some. The ride is remarkably quiet and comfortable. The exterior grew on me. Its a great balance of aggressiveness, class, and distinctiveness. So far no problems except that one passenger door would not open the day I bought the car, but that was fixed promptly. Im giving American cars a chance, and so far I am pleased.
