What owners say
"The 2002 Chevrolet Malibu is generally well-liked by its owners, who appreciate its reliability and spaciousness, often noting it's a great family car. Many drivers enjoy the comfortable ride and overall performance, especially the power of the V6 engine. However, there are a few common complaints, primarily about the gas mileage and some build quality issues with minor parts."
Great every day car great car, great Fuel econ. lots of room (i'm 6 ft 1 inch). This car has never let us down, we Have 115000 kms on it.
January 11, 2008This Malibu is the first car I've ever owned, and I can tell it will last me a long time. Partly because I bought it with <60,000 miles on it, and partly because it is just about flawless. The gas mileage could be a bit better, so far I've gotten around 18-19 mpg city, and the acceleration from a stop isn't the best, rather poor, actually. But everything, literally, everything else about this car is fantastic. Of the reviews I've read, owners either love their car or hate it.. and I am one of the ones who loves their Malibu. So I, for one, recommend it.

May 11, 2014The Malibu gets good gas mileage and is a great all around family car
April 6, 2008A good car, 3.1 V6 had power on demand, handled well, especially when I put Kelly tires on it. Comfy ride, maintenance was middle of the road, though it went through brakes kind of fast. Good looking car and rode well, not a Cadillac but not a Cavalier either.
September 3, 2012Looking for an older car that is reliable? The Chevy Malibu is a great choice. The car drives well and has plenty of room for 5 adults. There are no frills with the base model, but it does include features like power windows and locks, ABS brakes, etc.
December 10, 2012Pretty sweet if you have a wife and two kids. I feel like I'm heading to or from soccer practice every time I drive it.
