ONE OF THE BEST CARS WE HAVE EVER OWNED

ONE OF THE BEST MODEL YEARS CHEVY EVER PRODUCED. 17 YEARS LATER STILL RUNS LIKE A CHAMP AND GREAT BODY - NOT RUST. INTEND TO KEEP THE CAR FOR AS MANY YEARS AS I CAN. IN MARYLAND IT WILL BE A CLASSIC AT 20 YEARS

Love this car!

Really like the handling and performance of my Malibu. And with the driver's/ owner's manual I at 60 years young and female was able to replace a burned out headlight. My drivers seat is stuck back due to something caught in the rail. Luckily my pedals move towards me or else I couldn't drive it. Going to have to YouTube how to take seat out as soon as I get a bored minute.

I love my car.

I am so happy with this car. It drives well gets great gas mileage. Lots of room being able to fold down back seats to trunk area. Love it! Designed efficiently. Comfortable interior. Owners manual is very helpful.

Great car !

My Chevy has been good for 15 years! It did have some recalls over the years, but it’s Been reliable. I only wish GM would have a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. I would buy another Chevy, if Gm Would have a 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty!

Chevy Malibu

I have had several Malibus and highly recommend them. Great gas mileage. Mine is a 2005 and I maintain it like you should. Have had no major problems. Have 177,000 miles and it runs great. I'm on my 2nd battery and my car is 15 years old. Starts every time. Great car.

Great car

This car is 15 years old and 175,000 miles. What more is there to say. It is very reliable and keeps on going down the road. That is why it has a new set of tires. Everything was checked out and all is fine.

I love my Malibu

I've been so happy and pleased with my car. Considered that is a salvage. It's a few things that need to be repaired and I'm getting those done I get the money. I would recommend this car to anybody that needed a great dependable vehicle

Love It

My Malibu has a feature to bring the pedals closer to my short legs, so I don't have to be so close to the air bag. It also has good acceleration . I have heated seats, and it gets decent gas milage.

Love my Malibu

I've had my car for 13 yrs. It is a 6-cyl model and it has plenty of power to pass or go up a grade while still maintaining an excellent mpg of 19-20 in town and up to 35 on the road. It's comfortable to drive, has a great turn radius and is easy to handle. It doesn't have some of the features of the newer cars, but for it's time, it is loaded. It's one of the best choices in cars that I've purchased in my lifetime and I've had quite a few. I've kept it serviced and maintained and it has, in turn, taken care of me for almost 140,000 miles.

2005 Chevy Malibu

I bought this car used & it has been very dependable. I make sure I keep it up to date on its maintenance schedule. Having a V6 it is fun to drive & dependable when I need a little extra get up & go for passing & keeping up with the traffic flow; even with 150,000 miles on it.

2005 Malibu

Not my car of choice...Thought it would be a good purchase at a local dealership because of low mileage. Dealership was looking only for sale-didnt take into consideration my needs or situation......was taken advantage of... and now have a car I dislike more than any car I have ever owned

Chevy Malibu

The 2005 Malibu was good, although sometimes when it’s parked on an incline for short time it’s hard to start! Chevy needs to offer 10 year warranties on all cars!
