Nothing. I've driven it too short time.

The car is, in my humble opinion, for ones who like a bit faster drive. May the target audience be youngsters looking for comfort or mid-aged looking for sportiness.

It feels stable when cornering near limits. The car sings along with Your energy in one of those days when feeling really good (or bad). Relatively big body has some characteristics of a ship though, so don't loose attentiveness.

The engine, 3.5 V6 is ready to pull. It can give You much of a fun, but automatic transmission unfortunately eats it up to some extent. I haven't tried stick-shift, but still think that the compromise in the car is best balanced with automatic.

Comfort features are more than enough for me. But how it handles bad road conditions, needs a discussion. The thing that in automotive can never be balanced is unfortunately comfortable driving versus fast driving. It is no problem for me to feel bumps if car handles as well as Malibu. But people struggling between sportiness and convenience should decide their preferences before going out for a such corner-lover.

As a summary - if You consider Yourself a person with energy and You don't mind a few bumps on the road (on any road in Your life) then Malibu seems a good choice for You.

No problems have shown, either mechanical or in the fit and finish area.

After searching for my ultimate commute vehicle, I chose the Malibu Maxx for its comfort and quiet ride.

The LT model comes with power seats and pedals (not to mention a steering wheel that not only adjusts up and down, but fore and aft!). It would be hard not to get a good driving position for just about anyone, regardless of their body dimensions. I am a six-footer and there is still more adjustment available even though I can fully stretch my legs.

The only option put on this vehicle was the XM Satellite radio. I would not get another vehicle without this option. It's worth every penny.

The rear hatch is electrically operated only. It tends to re-latch if you open or shut a door after operating the release.

Driving conservatively I can squeeze just over 30mpg on my 150 mile round-trip commute (which includes stop-go and 70mph+ speeds).

When I took delivery of the car, it didn't come through with any knobs on the stereo. A minor gripe, but worth mentioning. Fortunately (For them), the dealer remedied the problem without any trouble before I drove off the lot. Other than that, everything has been good.

I am really impressed with my new Malibu. The V6 motor does good on gas, and has enough pep to move the mid size without any problem.

I ordered mine in silver green with a tan interior. It is a very nice color combinaion.

This is the LT model with all the bells & whistles, except for a sunroof. I have never had any luck with sunroofs.

They would leak after about 6 months on the last couple of cars I had.

The seats are leather with perforated suede inserts. very classy, and easy to maintain. The suede inserts make the seats more bearable to sit on when it's hot out.

The hot interior in the summer never happens though, as this car came with remote start as a factory item.

This is a very comfortable car that is easy to adapt to and drive. I am really pleased with the decision I made to buy this Malibu, and hope that it will work out that way in the long run, as well.
