  • Maxx at 7,500 Miles - 2005 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
    By -

    We purchased our new 05 Maxx in June of this year. We havent been a GM customer for a number of years but after a lengthly test drive, we decided to come back to GM. So far weve traveled about 7,500 trouble free miles. Not one problem or complaint. On the highway, Ive consistently averaged 33 MPG and around town in the mid 20s. I am absolutely pleased with the Quality, Handling, and Design of this car.

    I LOVE THE FEEL OF THIS CAR. IT HAS SO MUCH ROOM. People stop me to ask me what kind of car I have , They think it look so great.I was in an accident and was not hurt because this car is built so well. I highly recomend the maxx. The Only Con is that GM had a problem sending one of tha parts. I am still waiting for the new part, and the repair shop had to fix the old part. I get no satifation when I call chevy customer service. That is the only bad experience I have had with this car.

    A fun car to drive with superior handling and plenty of horsepower when needed. The instrumentation is user- friendly.

    This is one of the best cars Ive ever owned. I get excellent fuel economy, and the flexibility of the folding seats is extremely convenient. I had one problem with the trim on one of the seats which the dealership promptly fixed and thats it. Other than regular oil and filter changes, its been virtually maintenance free. It rides comfortably both scooting around town or on the highway.

  • My New Car!!!! - 2005 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
    By -

    I had a 99 Malibu and loved it but it was time to upgrade. I had seen the advertisments for it and seen a few on the road and fell in love at first sight. I love it! The storage in the back, the leg room and adjustable seats in the back, theyre great. I love the remote starter. The car is proving to be all I wanted and so much more. The fuel economy is ok right now. I havent done much highway driving yet so I havent gotten up to the high 20s in mpg but Im happy with getting 21 around town. We also got an amazing deal on the car with the reg tag sale and having the GM card. I plan to keep the car a long time!! Love it! highly recommend it as an alternative to a station wagon or SUV!

  • Cute Sporty Car - 2005 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
    By -

    Bought used with 30,600 miles. Have had the car since 12/13/05. Drove in rain/snow/ice mix first day. Handled well, felt secure with traction control. Like the look and handling of the Maxx. Drove over 400 miles during the holidays with cruise at 70 and got 32.5 mpg. Have difficulty getting comfortable in the rock hard seat. Have only two electric adjustments. But the pedals and steering adjustments do help. Three adults in the back seat amazed at leg room even tho a little tight on seating and were impressed with sunroof and spacious interior.

    Great car. Turns heads. People ask me what kind of car it is! I get 32 mpg on the highway, including in that figure is stop and go around Chicago. Car has a ton of room. I would recommend the car to anyone! Great fun!

  • Maxx-WOW - 2005 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
    By -

    When I took out out of the lot on the test drive I thought I was at the indy 500! WOW what power! Handling is great and I love the 4 Wheel Disc Brakes adn ABS. I dont really know how the traction control is supposed to work, but then maybe thats the idea? More than enough room. As much versatility as a station wagon at a more practial size. Will give more as I drive more.
