Excellent car!! Compare it to Buick!
By Syd on Saturday, January 23, 2021
I absolutely adore my 2015 Malibu LTZ. It's great looking and stylish, keeping up with modern styling even though it's 6 years old. It rides beautifully! I had a 2012 Buick and this Malibu rides just like it. Lots of awesome features. Remote start, heated leather seats, heated steering wheel, push start, touch screen with hidden compartment behind it, bluetooth, beautiful blue lighting that lines the whole dash and doors when it's dark and so much more! I love my Malibu to the moon and back. It's gotten my fiance and I through some really hard times and it's always stayed true. It's definitely part of the family now. - 4.0
Satisfied Mostly
By Norm on Wednesday, May 15, 2019
This car has been very reliable up till now. I have had no mechanical problems with it. The only reason I did not give a 5 star rating is because the auto stop only seem to work about 1/2 of the time. The mileage is better than rated by GM. I get around 28 MPG around town and over 40 on the highway. My average mileage at this time is 32.7 Most of my trips are about 16 to 20 miles one way. Each time I make 2 or 3 trips my average goes up. I will be keeping this car until I can no longer drive. I have always had this car serviced at a Chevrolet dealership. This is a California car but I now live in Nebraska. Happy, Happy! - 5.0
Exceptional value in a used Chevy Malibu !!
By Bob on Thursday, November 22, 2018
I bought my 2014 Chevy Malibu LTZ brand new because my daughter was selling Chevy’s at the time. I don’t recommend buying a Chevy Malibu or Impala brand new because they are sold as rental cars and you do not have a very good trade-in value or resale value because there are so many on the market. With that being said it is a Super value to buy them used either a leased vehicle or a former rental car. Granted I got the loaded LtZ Version with the leather and the sunroof but the base model would be a fine car as well. It is super comfortable, large seats in front lots of little storage spaces, roomy in the back. The suspension is super smooth with good steering response. The 2.5 L four-cylinder engine gets between 29 and 35 on the highway and about 25 to 29 miles per gallon city. The thing that surprised me was how snappy and responsive the car is with that size engine, it has a six speed transmission and mine has the manual shifting as well as the automatic. You will be pleasantly surprised with the power that this vehicle has. The factory tires are garbage so just go out and get yourself A really nice set of tires and you’ll be good to go. Fairly good technology in the cab with Bluetooth connectivity, hands-free calling XM radio, and Pandora, stitcher, and USB connectivity. I think this car would be an exceptional Value buying used.
