One Of Chevy's Best Performaning Cars - And A Real Sleeper! — In my opinion, this is the best sleeper car Chevy's made in a long long time! It's amazingly fun to drive, quick to respond, full of power and pep...just an overall joy! I wouldn't trade this car for ANYTHING on the market today!

Looks Great And Has Some Zipp ! — The only real problem that I have with this car is the lack of factory or aftermarket upgrades. Would love to put more performance upgrades on the car . Also would like some optional exterior items such as badges, etc. Other then that I love the car and its a pleasure to drive.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Great! — Love the take off it feels like a sports car but drives like a luxury car. Gas is great only takes about $35-$45 to fill up. My car is black and has black leather and suede inside. It is fun to drive.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

A Malibu In The Medwest — I lovethat my car is sleek, but is still practical. The price was right. It gets great gas mileage and it is very comfortable to drive. It handles well on the icy snowy streets where I live and is as atractive as any luxury car.

Malibu 2006 Ls — With only a 2.2 engine doesnt feel heavy like a 2.4 Stratus and gives better fuel economy than a 2.5 Altima i think the interior could use a little more work i think its a great looking car cheap to run and mantain its a comfortable car when u want to when u press the gas transforms itself

Not AWD, so so gas mileage.

My '06 Chevy Malibu — I love my Malibu. It s pretty great overall. Plenty of features performance is great rides like a dream and looks good also. Gas mileage is so-so but 23 mpg is "ok" for a V6 I suppose. Only thing I don t like about the car is that its a FWD car. I d rather have RWD or AWD.

Pros

The trunk space is amazing!!! And you can get a full size spare in there. Acceleration are braking are smooth as silk and it handles like a dream. I am a self-proclaimed speed demon but she can take whatever I dish out...including a curve at 95 mph. Great leg room inside...a 6'2 man can ride quite comfortably.

Cons

The only downside is that it didn't come with OnStar.

I Love This Car!!!! — This was not the vehicle I went to buy, but I fell in love with it. Overall, I am completely happy with it and Chevy as a whole. This is my first Chevy and I'm loving it!!!
