More 'Morty' Than 'Maxx' but Still a Good Car

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: The Malibu Maxx is a solid family car in a somewhat zoomy package. Your kids will love it and the gas mileage is commendable.
Review: On a recent business trip to one of those rectangular western states, I rented a 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx. I was impressed with several aspects of this car, although it disappointed in a couple other areas. However, my experience is that it is a good...

'05 Chevy Malibu Classic - great car!!!

Date of Review:  Jul 23, 2006
The Bottom Line: Great rental and outstanding mid sized car. Lots of room and great mileage. I would buy this car.
Review: I travel frequently so I rent cars frequently. There are some cars I will not accept as rentals. This was the first time I was offered a Malibu.

My experience was two weeks of delight at this great car which is wonderful at the tank, a...

Chevy got this one right.

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you want a great car for a great price look no further. Read the reviews on the net for the '04/'05. This is nothing like the previous Malibu.
Review: SUMMARY: I have owned the car for a month now. I have the LT with every bell and whistle (XM, OnStar, 6 CD IN DASH just to name a few). The car has leather appointed seats (this means that the edges are one type of leather, and the actual seating...

Malibu Maxx: a great lemon.

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2006
The Bottom Line: Not recommended due to continuing problems.
Review: I bought my 05' Maxx brand new, and it had its first problems within days. Since owning this car I have had nothing but trouble. The following have had to be replaced on this car: serpentine belt, fuel tank filler tube, serpentine belt, harmonic...

Watch Out Toyota!

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: Chevy has a winner here that will compete with all vehicles in the family sedan market.
Review: Chevrolet and the rest of American automakers have been constantly trying to compete with the well designed Japanese family sedan models. For many years they have been trying to create a bonafide competitor to the Accord, Camry, and Altima. Finally...

Date of Review:  Sep 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: Reliable, Sporty, Comfortable and Practical
Review: This review will compare driving experiences between a Full Size Pontiac Grand Prix and the Mid-Size Chevy Malibu over the reviewer's 2 month driving experience.

100,000 miles and still going!

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car. Excellent MPG, Looks good, much less expensive that friends import both on front end and up keep.
Review: I am not your typical reviewer. I actually own and USE this car daily as you will see. I needed a gas miser to replace my Dodge 1/2 ton that only got 15 mpg. I use this car for business, mostly highway miles about 5,000 per MONTH. It had 13,600 when...

Compares to the Imports - Give it a chance!

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: Give it a try! This is a solid family sedan that you may get for a much better price than comparable imports.
Review: First of all, my wife and I test drove a Mazda 3, Nissan Altima, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. We narrowed it down to the Corolla and the Malibu when we decided we wanted something a bit bigger and a V6. We purchased the car new in December 2005...

The Right Car for a Discerning Driver

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: Very good car for reasonable price. Very different from its predecessors yet brings together the best of the Malibu tradition.
Review: Having driven a 1999 Malibu (Third Generation) for five years, and loving it, I really didn't plan on getting another Malibu. I mean, it was my chance to get a different car so why would I want to get the same car? So I shopped around for a...

2005 Malibu Maxx LS

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good used car value for the money. I would avoid buying one brand new due to depreciation. Roomy backseat, roomy cargo area, good highway fuel economy.
Review: A friend of ours leased a new Maxx, and after driving it we decided to search for our own. We were coming out of a Jeep Liberty and desired better fuel economy and similar room inside. The Maxx is an impressive package wrapped around a capable...
