Overview & Reviews

On the 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx, the front airbags incorporate "dual-stage" technology, meaning the force of deployment can vary according to the severity of the crash. In addition, the OnStar system now offers "Turn-by-Turn" navigation and the 3.5-liter V6 offers more power via the adoption of variable camshaft timing.

• Hatchback design allow easy cargo loading, spacious cabin with adjustable rear seats, standard V6 provides performance with fuel efficiency, comfortable ride, excellent crash test scores, remote-start feature.

• Stability control and manual gearbox are not available.
• Bland interior design and materials, mediocre steering and brakes, less cargo space than true wagons

  Best Bang for the buck - 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By jim - June 18 - 2:36 am

  I bought this car while I was a salesman at the dealer. Knowing the whole product line, I knew the best value when I saw it. The car has been great. 33.9 mpg on a recent trip to Florida, great in snow. Best brakes Ive ever had on a car, great power and economy, cavernous storage space, comfortable seating and great stereo. The rear roof window shades could have been designed better, and there is a noise in the front end over bumps, other than that, no complaints, Id buy another one in a minute. Im on the road a lot in sales, and since the maxx is no longer available, my next car will probably be an Impala LT with leather.

  Good car with nice surprises - 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By maxx lover - March 24 - 7:00 pm

  Love the car; chose it over small SUVs and have no regrets. Loads of standard elements like remote start and automatic headlights; hatchback can be reconfigured to haul about anything. Small drawback is the 20mpg mileage with the 6 cyl engine.

  I drive my Maxx 120 miles a day and I enjoy it very much. It handles great, is comfortable, and I get 29 miles to a gallon. Has style and my coworkers really like it. Some of them have gotten themselves one also. A great unit. Wished more people would try it. They would love it like I do.

  Great Car! - 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By nydogboy - August 2 - 1:53 pm

  97,000 miles later Ive realized this is best car ever. The V-6 is quick, yet I get 31mpg at 74mph. A trip from NY to New Orleans and back netted 29.2 mpg and I admit to hitting 90mph a couple of times. Replaced front and rear brakes at 85k. Absolutely no problems. I live in Syracuse where 40% of the cars are rusted. My 6 year old Maxx has no rust. Get one! I will definitely get 200,000 miles from this car.

  Malibu LTZ - 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By KM - January 9 - 4:56 pm

  Owned this car for over a year now. I had test driven the LS but the LTZ is a class above. I agreed with Edmunds (bland interior for the LS), but found the LTZ felt totally different. The leather wrapped steering felt much more comfortable, and the rest of interior did not feel cheap. Same with the wheels etc. I never read the manual much, so I keep finding new things in the car. When cleaning I found the audio volume control on the steering on the underside of other audio buttons. Recently I found out I could do tap-shift. I could not figure how to operate the +/- buttons earlier till I put the car in L coming downhill - it was so much fun!

  Great College Vehicle - 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By Maxxd - August 4 - 1:53 am

  The Malibu Maxx came out of no where while searching car lots, oddly enough it had every feature I wanted and for a very reasonable price. Dont believe the in-dash MPG rating, instead calculate it out yourself. Ive found the computer is off by a large margin, including waiting at a light in the MPG calculation. I average (with city and highway) around 26-28 MPG. Great car for a college student like myself or a family just starting out.

  Sports-sedan - 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By Manfred-J- Hinz - August 25 - 6:43 pm

  I replaced a 2004 Maxx with this 2007 Maxx SS. I was, and am, totally satisfied with the car. Finally a great eye-appealing sport sedan from GM and Chevy decides not to build this model for the 2008 Line-up. To limit production of this model to 3 years is questionable.

  Still love it after 3+ years - 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  By susieQ - April 9 - 4:56 pm

  Found it on the dealer lot by accident. Didnt know this car was made. Perfect fit for me, love the adjustable pedals and dash lay out. Fog light knob could be easier to find. Hatch sometimes relocks before I get to it. Lots of back seat room for passengers. Lots of cargo space. Travel with 2 small dogs in a large kennel in the folded down rear space. I still have room to get in back and let them out of kennel with veh doors closed. Smooth ride, handles well. Backed out of a ditch using traction control; couldnt have done that with my other cars. I drive 60% highway 40% city ave. 25.8 highway; 21.5 in city. The SS has great pick up. Very sad it is not made any longer as I would buy it again!

  First off, the auto press nit-picking about the steering, gruff engine and interior simply are not true. The electric steering is just fine, it adjusts to vehicle speed and there is all the feedback of a hydraulic unit. I notice no difference and I have driven a lot of cars in my life. As for the engine, its just as quiet and smooth as the V6 in my moms Lexus RX300. The interior, well, on the LT its cloth, not leather, but its just as swank as my work mates Accord LX - its workaday, no doubt, but for a mid-line interior its got what the others do. This car also handles and brakes very well, too. Dont let the press fool you - this car is every bit the equal of its Japanese competition.
