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 thing corners like it on rails!!! HA HA HA It has a lot of power. There's a TON of room inside. It has all sorts of cool things. It is beautiful. It is so much fun to drive...too bad gas costs so much! The interior is great... One of my favorite things is that the display on the radio can tell you how many miles you have left on the tank of gas, how your MPG is, how close you are to an oil change...all sorts of cool stuff! Oh...and plenty of cup holders! The MPG are good...I drive kinda fast, so I could make it better if I tried. : ) The photo is my own...the day I found it sitting in the parking lot at work...after searching for my car. What a WONDERFUL surprise!!! My husband is the coolest! (and he knows a good car guy!) I could go on and on...Aug 02, 2008

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
