| Price of the Chevrolet Malibu: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Got a really good lease deal. Didn't want to purchase a car at the time. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | I bought my malibu used with 9000 miles. I got a very good price so I am happy with my decision. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Paid $23,049 for 2LT with sunroof |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Value packed - easily beats the competition on price, and GM incentives plus warranty make it a no brainer. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | We found this car used with 15,000 miles for about $5,000 less than any other used Malibu available. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | The Malibu is a very quiet and refined car. It has decent handling and offers a lot of features for its price! The dealer incentives, combined with many positive reviews make it in my opinion a car that provides good value for the money. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD | I purchased new base model and have paid 2500 less than sticker price (60 month). |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 217-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD | I bought it used, depreciation is very high so it was very inexpensive considering the features and performance offered. It cost only 50% of list when only 23 months old. Since I intend to keep it for at least three year depreciation is not a concern. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Great vehicle to have! |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The price was over 10K less than Camry or Accord and actually had better safety and features. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD | Felt like we got more features for the money. Also felt the price that Am Ex Auto Buying Program gave us was good. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD | A lot of car (standard options) for the money. Much lower price point than Honda CRV or Toyota Rav4 with similar options. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD | I leased this vehicle on favorable terms |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD | For all the features it has other similar cars were a lot more money. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD | Where can you get such a well equipped car (the S model) for under $20,000? |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD | The pricing is reasonable, even when fully loaded. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD | Not exactly a fair comparison (4-cylinder vs. V6) - but comparing the two four-bangers, the Rogue was >$2000 cheaper |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD | Economical and within my budget. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD | Wanted to stay under $23,000 - no problem with the Rogue. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Best of any car I have recently purchased; appears to have been carefully assembled with attention to detail which I thought had been forgotten with distant-past GM purchases; for my needs this vehicle appears to be an exceptional value. |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Solid, well put together car...no quality control issues other than drivers seat |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The fit and finish of the malibu looks more upscale than other sedans at the same price point. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
quality, comfort & quietness |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
fit & finish is excellent throughout the exterior and interior |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The soft touch fabrics, as well as the chrome trim really help with the appearance of high quality. In addition , the lack of squeaks or rattles seems to show that the engineers took care in designing it. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Tight seams inside and out. Small details hidden everywhere you look. Good mix of materials inside including non-bland color schemes, soft touch materials in many areas, chrome accents highlighting controls, great tactile feel. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
above average |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
soft touch marlterials feels much more expensive |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
This fit and finish are first rate. Much higher than expected for the price range. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 240-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The materials feel solid and of good quality. Again, this car has been driven hard by my wife for 3 years, yet it has never been to the shop, and has worked flawlessly. |

| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
In the LT1 trim, the seats are cloth which is very good but door panels are hard plastic. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Where did GM find such terrible materials? The leather - hard and grainy. The plastics - strange colors, and noticeably thin. Why does the door not make an assuring "thud" when shut like my Optima does? GM could have done a LOT better in this department. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The car seems cheap, especially the interior materials--very plasticky. Of course, it was a rental. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The interior is on an austerity plan, and the steering column makes click-thunk noises (a common issue on these cars). Also, the door locks failed (warranty issue...also common). |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 217-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Compared to previous car (VW Passat) the interior plastics are cheap and squeaky. Seat material looks very hard wearing but also very cheap. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap materials on seats. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Most of the parts are made in Korea. The fuel sender unit had silver contacts and corroded after using high-sulphur cheap gas. Front struts are weeping. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap plastics. Panels not fitting correctly. Interior has many rattles. Many buttons failed and had to be replaced. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Rear sunroof shade pops out of position if wind hits it. Front seat bottom has come loose. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 3.1L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Generally poor build quality in the interior. Steering wheel showed signs of aging after 40k miles; button label worn off. |

This is a well built vehicle and has nice lines. The materials and components are good quality with no squeaks or rattles. The car feels solid. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD |
Better audio system (or maybe it only sounds better because I can hear it at lower volume settings :-) |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD |
Excellent finish both inside and outside, I really liked the black and red-patterned seats. |

Harldly used passenger seat had to be replaced at 8k miles due to wear. |
