2009 Chevrolet Malibu Reviews

2.4L Auto 4 Speed. Installed my sub so it sounds a lot better.
Wish I would have to the bigger engine and 6speed auto
trans. Have enjoyed it so far. Think about tinting the windows
and will be getting better tires hopefully.

When my Tribute was wrecked I had this for a week for a rental car thanks to Progressive Insurance. I really liked it, the blue cabin light were a really neat touch especially at night. Overall the car was great to drive, but was hard to get in and out of since I am pretty tall.

Last 2 cars I owned were a Toyota Camry and a Honda Accord.  I compared the Malibu to both and chose it for a variety of reasons (looks, price, performance, price and gas mileage.  The interior is beautiful! it truly has a sporty/upscale look of more expensive sport sedans. I never expected to buy a Chevy but took a look after many of the reviews I had seen online. This car way exceeds my expectations.  Just returned from 1000 mile road trip and did as good as 34mpg. The 4 cyclinder suprised me with it's power and quietness and makes it a joy to drive.  Big Kudos on wind noise as I have never experienced a better vehicle at reducing wind noise.  GM has made huge strides with the Malibu.   I love it inside and out and would highly recommend it.   

My new 2009 Malibu LTZ is a joy to look at both inside and out. Beautifully designed and appointed. It has all the bells and whistles. From a performance standpoint it is smooth, solid, and quiet. The six speed transmission gives this car a lot of pep. You can feel and smell (yes smell) the quality of this car. GM and the Chevy engineers appear to have gotten dead serious about making the Malibu a very competative high quality mid size package. This car is the real deal. Most of my driving has been city with a few 30-50 mile highway trips. I've been averaging around 29.8 mpg since my March 18th purchase.

I have the 4cyl. 6 speed. The acceleration, while not stunning, can only be explained as smooth. The brakes instill a lot of confidence. The build quality is fantastic and the ride is nothing short of luxurious. I'm still getting used to the car, so the fun factor is still increasing. It handles much better than I originally realized. The electrically assisted steering was odd at first, but I've found it to be very responsive. It carves out curves with poise for a family sedan.
