2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Greatest car I have owned. Over 100.000 kilometers and no problems. I am 77 and have driven Fords, Lincolns, Pontiacs, oldsmobile. I would recommend this car to anyone that wants comfort with versatility. I do undercoat it every year to protect against salt and rust deterioration.

For anyone looking for a great family sedan with a little performance and decent comfort. With a hatchback for some pretty decent space as well as a longer wheelbase allows for back seat passengers to have ample room. GM made the good advice of mating this heavier car with the 3.4 V6 engine. This gives the car some nice pep on the freeway.. it's not gonna blow anybody's mind.. but when the V6 kicks in at 70, you don't worry about running out of power. However gas mileage takes a hit. We where told it would get around 30mpg... observed.. 26.7 when my wife drives it. 28.1 when i drive it. It is reliable (other than plastic bits that keep falling off and an electrical gremlin that keeps taking out our power accessories). The radio is decent, the seats i find comfy, the remote start is great! and more pockets that we know what to deal with.

its got a light block 3.5 v6 with a supercharger tacked on. lots of performance capability comes with that. cost of ownership is fairly low unless you drive like a true leadfoot. car is definitely fun to drive as it delivers the moment you press the gas

For someone who's nice and tall, it accomodates more than enough leg room. The acceleration is comfortable and doesn't need to shift around too much to accelerate with the v6. Need to take it easy on rougher roads with potholes and big bumps. I'm still getting used to the hatchback look......
