GENERAL COMMENTS
 
"We looked at Lincolns, Buicks, Chryslers, Toyotas, Nissans and Hondas and NOTHING came close to this car. We finally got the LTZ in black with the 4 cylinder married to a 6 speed. It's quick, smooth and gets 32MPH. People stop in front of my house and get out of their cars to get a closer look. This car is quite, refined and when you first drive it you will think you are in a $40,000 car instead of one I paid $27,000 for."
Bellmore , New York - June, 2008
 
"The 2008 Malibu.....I LOVED IT! I test drove the V6 first, it was an LTZ model. I then took the LT1 model for a spin, it's got a 4 cylinder engine, WOW!!!!!!!! The 4 banger is just as peppy as the V6. The fuel economy is better and it costs alot less. The bells and whistles and comfortable interior make you forget about the V6 engine missing! XM satellite radio....OnStar....hands free phone....remote car starter.....navigation......and a beautifully designed interior. Who could ask for more? HOT CAR!!!! The body style is WAYYYYYYYY better than before! I didn't like anything about the Malibu prior to it's body style change."
Dan M. (Kalamazoo , Michigan - March, 2008)
 
"I have around 4000 miles on my Malibu already and I absolutely love it! I believe this is the best car I've ever owned. GM, thank you, because you obviously did your homework. "
Kurt C. (Camden , Ohio - February, 2008)
 
"WOW! Chevy has really stepped up to the plate on this one! The new design and features on this Malibu are amazing! Soft supportive leather seats, very quick 252HP V6, tons of room, and the rich looks of an expensive European import. Prior to seeing and driving this car, I have always thought 'boring rental car' when I thought about a Chevy sedan. Well, now I feel spoiled every time I drive my new Malibu. I love all the power features, heated seats, rich lines, extremely quiet and smooth ride, and knowing that I saved thousands over an Accord or Camry comparably equipped!"
Nate H. (Federal Way , Washington - February, 2008)
 
"We made the mistake or maybe the fortune of drin=ving the 2008 Malibu first. We then drove all the comparable imports. They didnt hold a candle to the feel, comfort, looks and overall performance of the Malibu. We had to have one. We went back and got the one we tested. We enjoy driving it. I look for excuses to go for a drive now!!!!!!"
Dave W. (Queen Creek , Arizona - January, 2008)


GENERAL LIKES
 
"The compliments I get from everyone who sees it." "OnStar" "Engine" "The looks, the power, the tons of amenities, the high quality feel, etc... Overall, I feel like I have purchased a high end luxury car except when I think about the low price tag!" "Looks"


GENERAL DISLIKES
 
"Having to get out from behind the wheel." "Nothing....well...maybe the missing V6, at least the 4 cyl is better on the enviornment." "No leather option on lower end models like the LS " "The transmission shifts a little slowly but adds to the smooth ride. Also, the power mirror controls require a stretch from a driving position." "Parking it each night."
