2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx Preview summaryImage

For 2007, the station wagon version of the Chevy Malibu now comes with airbags that adjust to the severity of a crash, turn-by-turn navigation, and a little extra juice in its V6. The Malibu Maxx has a 3.5 L, V6 engine and comes in 3 trims: the SS, LTZ, and LT. The LT represents the most basic version of the Malibu Maxx while the LTZ and SS build on the LT by adding leather seats and other more luxurious features.

Gas mileage generally comes out to 20 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway. You'll get 23 cubic feet of cargo space with all seats up. All trims have 4 doors and seat 5.

Overall, the critics have a lot of good things to say about the '07 Malibu Maxx. The Maxx gives you good value, a roomy interior, smooth ride, and solid powertrain performance. On the other hand, interior styling and steering could stand some refinement. However, despite any shortcomings, the Malibu Maxx takes value and performance to the max in delivering a desirable overall package.

This car has plenty of power for meging with traffic. We have ample room for the kids in back along with the DVD Player for long trips. I enjoy the steeing wheel controls for the radio. This car handles well and is very solid! On trips we get close to 30 MPG!. Jul 20, 2008

I had one of these for a demo. I was skeptical at first. Probably due to the fact I am 28 and well it is a wagon. Not to mention I drive 55 miles round trip so I like to be comfortable. Overall I was really impressed with this car it had good performance, handles well and is very comfortable. My son loved the moon panels in the back that he could look out of! The only down side to this car was the interior was cheap. It looked cheap and well was cheap. The fuse panel is in a spot next to your driving foot and get snagged off really easily. The screens for the moon panels in the back are cheap and one pull an inch to far etc and they are ruined. For the money though the performance and comfort of this car is not that bad at all. It also gets great gas mileage for a V6Feb 09, 2008

I've had this 07 Malibu SS for a couple of months now, and not to overstate the case: I love it. Prior to owning this car I had a Honda Element which while nice nevertheless disappointed me in its AWD lack of traction, and generally poor mileage. Now, in exchange for better Hwy mileage, I have a nice comfortable interior, good sound system, and generally a head turning car. Sep 28, 2007
