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.

  Best Sedan Ive Driven...Ever! - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By 08malibulover - October 12 - 6:06 am

  The ride of this vehicle is amazing compared to some of the other midsizes that I test drove. The 4 cyl has enough power to get on the highway and doesnt feel like it is struggling to keep up. The interior is extremely quiet and has plenty of room. There are so many compartments that keep your things secure and out of sight. For as little as I paid it compared favorably to cars that were thousands of dollars more but I didnt feel like I was getting any return on my money.

  Chevys Top Car - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Ilana - August 28 - 4:56 pm

  I was thinking about leasing a new car between the Altima, Accord, Malibu And the Camry, after my test drive on all, I chose the Malibu. I felt like I was driving a Lincoln when it came to comfort, the exterior styling is a beautiful combination of modern class. I dont stop hearing compliments on my car. Im sorry Toyota and Nissan theres nothing to compare. GM must continue the good work in order to get their reputation back, because I keep on hearing from my friends that the reason they dont want any American brand car is because theyre unreliable. My recent car was a Camry and it was full of problems. Thank God I only leased it. I think its time to give a second chance!

  Fallen in love - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Bob - July 9 - 8:53 am

  I have fallen in love with this car. Have had over a month. People go ga ga over it.I am 6 ft 1/2 in tall weigh 265 lbs. The interior is so comfortable for me. It is so put together right. Fit and finish makes me feel like I bought a luxury car. Wish I could write a book about it because I think I could. Not to say bad about anything else but this is my dream car. Mileage with half and half (half city..half county no high way driving) is 27. Must say I am very pleased. Most new cars were off quickly but this just makes me feel better the more I drive it . My wife likes to drive trucks but she is falling for the Malibu also.

  Very Nice Vehicle - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By TJ - April 20 - 1:13 am

  This is a very nice car, if GM had been building them like this all along, they wouldnt be in the mess they are in now. A comfortable ride, excellent fuel economy, my last trip at 61 mph I averaged 34 mpg and the 4cyl does quite well even with a full load of folks. Prior to my retirement I was averaging 26mpg in crappy Washington, DC commuter traffic, excellent! The interior is very classy and the outside is a head turner. This is the first vehicle I ever owned where people have stopped me and asked about the car. There was one slight flaw in the paint finish between two seams, well see if it causes a problem down the road.

  Awesome - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By PAT - February 16 - 8:43 pm

  This car is awesome! Beats the competition. So many standard features. 6 Airbags, stabilitrac, onstar, satellite radio. The turn by turn navigation system is so easy to use. No map discs to buy again. No screen to have to stare at. Smooth acceleration and super quiet inside. People are staring at my car when I stop. Nice job GM!

  This Malibu was one of the first. I had it custom built back in November, 2007. It is simply a great car. No problems. Lots of fun to drive.

  Big Bang for your Buck! - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Nelson - January 4 - 4:56 am

  Just bought my Chevy Malibu LTZ. Had a Cadillac CTS-V, but due to the cost of gas, had to sacrifice it. This car is awesome. It is extremely quiet, those acoustic windows actually do help a lot. A better value and performer than all the expensive competitors. Chevrolet made another quality product, which is I keep coming back.

  Red 08 Malibu 2LT - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By bohemia1 - November 9 - 3:03 pm

  Great car. I am enjoying the comfort and quiet. Gas mileage is almost 24 mpg. Scheduled to go in shop this week for alignment check and A/C check. The premium sound system with XM radio is great. Improvements listed below are mostly minor but add "creature comforts".

  First Impressions - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Bob - October 23 - 9:50 am

  This is a great car. In the past I have been very sceptical about american vehicles. I have been a loyal Toyota Camry owner for many years. This car won me over. The fuel economy on the sticker states 17 city 26 hwy. I got 36 hwy at 65 mph with the a/c on for 70 miles. I got 27 hwy at 80 mph.
