  • In the shop every month - 2013 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    Bought this car with 48k miles and now has 78k. Since Ive had it Ive replaced a wheel bearing, the heat is climate control and when you turn it on 60 it feels like its on the highest setting and the only way to turn it down it to turn the ac on. Not fun when its 15-20 degrees outside in the winter and 85-90 in the summer. The radio will freeze from time to time. Wont let me turn it down, change the station, or even turn it off! Im constantly on the road mostly highway miles and only get 28-29 mpg. Being that its supposed to be a type of hybrid Im not very impressed. This is my first and last time owning a Chevy sedan.

  • Painful - 2013 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    I was so excited to purchase my new Malibu. The style is sleek, elegant, and sporty all in one. The MPG is right around 27 for me personally. My biggest problem is the comfort. I didnt notice it until two days later when my back was in so much pain. The head rest forces your head forward and they are not completely removable. The lumbar section of the seat is not positioned correctly and is rather stiff. I have tried different pillows, reclining the seat completely back and sitting up free style (which is super uncomfortable). Ive spoken with 2 customer services reps from GM who passed it back and forth only to pass it on to the dealership which in return said there was nothing they could

  • Miss my (quiet) 2009 Malibu LS - 2013 Chevrolet Malibu
    By -

    I agree that my 2013 is all around much improved on than my traded 2009 LS. I have to say I am let down since I was anticipating a quiet cabin ride as all the auto site reviewers have endorsed. Well, I am not experiencing the "quiet" in my new malibu. I have a annoying vibration/buzz that presents itself when in low gear/ between gears but faithfully dissapears when I accelerate. Didnt notice this during test drive otherwise I would of hung on to my 2009 Malibu!
