| 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. |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Probably mostly due to the economy tanking, and car dealerships wanting to move product, I got a very good deal on this car. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I bought it via internet shopping-the only way to go. Got a great price & saved more w/refi. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Approx $3500AUD less than comparable Toyota Camry with similar features. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Picked mine up pre-owned with 17k on the clock and about 3 years old. As a used car, it is hard to find a better bargain for what it offers. Cost thousands less than any Evo, Sti, or R32 I could find on the market. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
I bought as a 2006 leftover when the 2007 MY was already available. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
It fit my budget. What else are you supposed to put here? |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon 215-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I got an excellent deal on my Mazda6, about $800-$1000 less than a comparable car with similar equipment. |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Was going to buy a 2004 with $4000 model year-end rebate |

| 2014 | 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Extras added up quickly, but you get what you pay for. No special MSRP discounts from Mazda, as the car has only been out for a short time this year. Toyota and Honda were offering better discounts. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
More expensive than Malibu with fewer features. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The price changed between our phone conversation and my visit to the dealer. |
