  SaigonPaulie75 - 2012 Chevrolet Malibu
  By saigonpaul75 - July 9 - 7:46 am

  I introduced to my wife 2011 Malibu(Summit white) LT1 model when it was new and she bought it and loves it..So this may 2013 I went and bought my 2012(former lease) with 14000 miles for a great price(same color) but its LT2 model and loaded with heated seats. We laugh about it. Its like driving an expensive car that we only paid $17000 each. Oh yeah! There are cars that cost $50k+ and its all about name brand and status symbol. We cant afford those and so in our own way, this is our Mercedes or Audi lol..But less fortunate people than us only wish they could own this Malibu. So we are very happy and proud to own 2 cars with the same color and park in our driveway at our cozy home lol..

  Gas mileage not as advertised - 2012 Chevrolet Malibu
  By vthow - September 19 - 2:42 pm

  The 2012 Malibu I purchased was stickered at 34 MPG. The best I have been able to get is 25 MPG all highway. The Malibu is a good car but one of the selling points in buying this was the MPG so I am very disappointed in the misleading advertising.

  Three months into ownership... - 2012 Chevrolet Malibu

  Were off to a good start. The car looks nice standing still and has a moon roof that adds to the look. Its a unique off white color outside and has a leather with suede look seat. Soon after buying this we drove 1400 miles over a weekend with four adults. Both front and back seats were comfortable. The headrests in front and the seat belts are some of the most comfortable weve ever had. Front seats also recline for naps on those trips. Acceleration is good, and this car will roll along for hours at high, interstate speeds with indifference to winds. The car is very quiet also. The large trunk is very nice as well.
