2008 Malibu LTZ

Strengths:
Where do I start? Strengths are from bumper to bumper.

Weaknesses:
A bigger gas tank would have been nice... I like to go on road trips.

Summary:
Believably a remarkable car. Outstanding in every area and a superb deal. I drove EVERYTHING else to see if I could find anything else as good, and the answer was a confident "no". GM did an awesome job! A major win for the home team.

2007 Malibu LS

Strengths:
Comfertable, Looks, Good on gas

Weaknesses:
explained in review

Summary:
We bought a 2007 Malibu and since day one the front shakes when you take off. When I took it to the dealer to get repaired they found that thier other 2007 Malibu was doing the same thing. They can't figure out what is causing it, they think it's a design flaw but unless there are "so many complaints" it won't be brought to Chevy's attention.
Me and my husband both have a hard time keeping the car straight, we feel like we are driving drunk!
Also it takes a long time for the heater to get warm. The exhaust fumes are strong.
Other than that we have had no other problems in the 4 months we've had it, beeing a Chevy I'm just waiting for something else to go wrong!

2006 malibu ls

Strengths:
Style,roominess,quiet interior

Weaknesses:
Front end wobble, high depreciation,

Summary:
2006 malibu ls 4 cylinder had shake in the front end when accelerating from rest..Gives the feeling as if the front tires are wobbling and makes the car feel unstable on the road. I tested another similar vehicle and noticed the same. GM considers this normal since another malibu off the lot did the same. Perhaps there is an inherent problem in all the 4 cylinder malibus but GM would have to accept this before they can look at resolving or until it causes an accident for someone...Other than this, I like the car and have had only minor problems covered by warranty.
