2004 marked the first year of production for the Chevy Malibu Maxx sedan. It looks a lot like a station wagon and comes in two trims: the LS and LT. Both trims have a 3.5 L, 200 hp V6 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission.

Gas mileage comes out to 22 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway. Both trims have 4 doors and seat 5. Cargo volume comes out to 22.8 cubic feet with the rear seat up and the LT offers standard leather seats.

Overall, the hatchback design and roomy interior get props from the critics. On the other hand, cargo space doesn't quite measure up to regular wagons and SUV's. In the end, the 2004 Malibu Maxx gives you a solid package with a unique twist on your traditional sedan design.

So many things wrong with it. For that price was ridiculous seeing that you’re spending way more to get it fixed. And all the tires were baldApr 25, 2021

I bought the car used and have put about 15,000 miles on it in the year I've had it. I had the brakes replaced the first month (the dealer paid for labor and parts) and currently I am in the process of replacing the fuel pump. No major problems. The gas tank is not very stable in it and has been since I bought it, so eventually I am sure that I will have to replace that. I'm very happy about the space in it. I paid Kelly blue book price in Michigan for it, but feel like I could get a better deal out of state.Aug 30, 2013

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. Dec 05, 2009
