All In All, I Have Been Reasonably Happy With This Car. It's Not My Old 1978 Malibu, But It Does Ok — Performance - adequate for my purposes. Nothing too flashy, but it gets me from A to B in the time I want it to. Quality is reasonable, but only average. The brakes drive me crazy, but it's a typical front-wheel drive GM, with undersized rotors that wear out and warp in no time. No particular squeaks or rattles, but the really annoying thing is the rear window washer jet that keeps coming disconnected. That and the remote that crapped out on me after three years. Appearance and styling are good, but the cloth seats really show every stain and spill that happens. Should've ScotchGuarded when I bought it. Very happy with the mileage. It regularly gets 35 mpg on the highway, and about 25-28 in the city. Winter is a different thing. It really sucks gas in the cold weather. Cost of repairs has been reasonable,. As mentioned above, my only beef is with the brakes. 110,000 km and 2 complete brake jobs, rotors and all. That's not acceptable. Fun - no. It's workmanlike at best. But if Iwanted fun, I would own a sports car. I need function, rather than fun. Primary Use: Family transportation

ProsFun and practical Consgas mileage (SS model)

Great All-around Car. — Gas milage not so great unless speed is maintained around fifty miles per hour without any stop and goes. SS suspension is unbeleivable, except at very high speeds where the typical front-wheel drive instability raises its head. Only thing wrong inside is a plastic trim piece around the back door handle won't stay on. Occassionally the rear window wiper turns itself on for a few seconds.

ProsThe leg room you get in the back is unbelieveable, enough room for anyone and everyone. amazing Bose sound system. very comfortable inside, back seats slightly recline back, they really give you your money's worth. Love the trunk space. with one back seat folded dowm, i can can fit a bike in there and have a seat left. with both seats down it is possible to fit 3 full sized bikes. its definitely powerful, doesn't look like so, but it is. i've beaten an si a few times. large side mirrors are great almost no blind spots. had it for six years, has over 100,000 miles and runs flawlessly. even with a powerful engine, it gets 22mpg. remote start is the coolest thing. and is helpful in the winter time. cup holder are everywhere! Consits not the best looking car, but i have grown on it.

A Car That Anyone Can Love — this car has everything, room for family, powerful engine, great sound system, room for bikes, comfortable drive. its just not that pretty to look at. there is nothing besides that to complain about. ive had it for 6 years, runs flawlessly at over 100,000 miles.

Too Expensive To Buy New But Lease Backs Are Hitting The Marked At Half Price — been a fan of hatchback styles all my life, from a 76 monza spyder, to a suburau outback. The maxx is great looking, lots of front torque and unique on the road, especially the ss version. fun fast and great on "lets go shopping road trip" Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||
