    I love this car. It has lots of useable room for its size, and no problem with blind spots. I get much better gas mileage than the EPA estimate--24 city, 31-38 highway. This is a truly fun car that is loaded with features. The whole family (including 2 teenage girls) love it, except my husband, who is a big man and has trouble getting in and out.

    I bought this car used with 15,000 miles on it. I like the room in this car both front and back. I like the info center. Oh what the heck, I like everything about this car. Only one thing about this car that I cant find is how to shut the heater A/C off. With all buttons in off, it still has air coming through the vents. In my view this is Chevrolets best keep secret. I have been averaging 33 mpg and it has plenty of power with the 200 horse V6. Anyone thinking about a new car, if they drove a Maxx I think they would be very pleased. To me, it feels like driving a much bigger car. This car just fits

    I love our new Malibu Maxx. It is quite roomy in the back seat which you don’t see that often. Everyone can sit very comfortably as far as leg room. All seats recline front and back and fold down. I would say it is a nifty car at a great price! I dart around like nobody’s business and park with ease. No more bulky minivan!

    The great gas mileage with such a powerful V6 is what sold me as well as the front and rear legroom. Test drove many cars, imports as well, and couldnt find many with enough front leg room for a tall guy like me, but its in this Maxx. Value with rebates and features remote start and side air bags.

    The car is a pleasure to drive. Mileage is over 31MPH highway and over 21MPH in the city. The hatchback is excellent for baggage, etc. I have driven more expensive sedans and vans in the past but this car more than meets all of my expectations.

    Great car! I cant believe how fast it is and what great gas mileage 26mpg so far(1000 miles). I am already getting people staring or head turns as I drive by. For a stock radio it really works very well, love my sunroof and the one in the back for the kids. There is a lot of room in the car and it was just recently rated as 4 stars in crash tests!! I am going to get some chrome wheels and get it tinted.

    this car has it all,power looks,and is very fun to drive.this thing handles like it is on rails in the corners and accelerates like a sports car.the rear dvd players keeps the kids quiet on road trips with the wireless headphones no need to worry about your kids ripping out the jacks.interior noise is at a minimum even with the sunroof option.

    I traded my Tahoe for this car - Im going back to school, so I needed something more affordable and better on gas. I was worried about sacrificing some of the roominess and convenience that Id grown accustomed to in my Tahoe, but I dont feel deprived at all in this car. Its spacious, well designed, and flexible. I fit myself, two teenagers, a car seat, and a 50 lb dog in it easily and no one feels cramped. It also has many of the convenience features that I like, such as auto headlights. Standard ABS and traction control are also greatly appreciated. Bottom line, Im so happy to have found a fun, stylish car that fits my new budget without compomising the safety or comfort of my family.
