2004 Chevrolet Malibu Reviews - Page 7 of 9

No problems have shown, either mechanical or in the fit and finish area.

After searching for my ultimate commute vehicle, I chose the Malibu Maxx for its comfort and quiet ride.

The LT model comes with power seats and pedals (not to mention a steering wheel that not only adjusts up and down, but fore and aft!). It would be hard not to get a good driving position for just about anyone, regardless of their body dimensions. I am a six-footer and there is still more adjustment available even though I can fully stretch my legs.

The only option put on this vehicle was the XM Satellite radio. I would not get another vehicle without this option. It's worth every penny.

The rear hatch is electrically operated only. It tends to re-latch if you open or shut a door after operating the release.

Driving conservatively I can squeeze just over 30mpg on my 150 mile round-trip commute (which includes stop-go and 70mph+ speeds).

When I took delivery of the car, it didn't come through with any knobs on the stereo. A minor gripe, but worth mentioning. Fortunately (For them), the dealer remedied the problem without any trouble before I drove off the lot. Other than that, everything has been good.

I am really impressed with my new Malibu. The V6 motor does good on gas, and has enough pep to move the mid size without any problem.

I ordered mine in silver green with a tan interior. It is a very nice color combinaion.

This is the LT model with all the bells & whistles, except for a sunroof. I have never had any luck with sunroofs.

They would leak after about 6 months on the last couple of cars I had.

The seats are leather with perforated suede inserts. very classy, and easy to maintain. The suede inserts make the seats more bearable to sit on when it's hot out.

The hot interior in the summer never happens though, as this car came with remote start as a factory item.

This is a very comfortable car that is easy to adapt to and drive. I am really pleased with the decision I made to buy this Malibu, and hope that it will work out that way in the long run, as well.

Not a thing. I haven't had any problems with the Malibu yet.

I traded in my 2003 Accord LX (It was very unreliable...yes, I said unreliable) on a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu in January of this year. I do not regret doing so, either. My Malibu has been a very reliable car with some thoughtful features and gets good gas mileage. It is the base model. It's not a speed demon with the 4 cylinder, but it is adequate for my needs. It will still get out of it's own way without a lot of trouble. I especially like my fold down front seat. I am remodeling a room in my house, & it's a great feature for hauling planks of wood, drywall, and anything else it can swallow. this car rides a lot better than my Accord did, as well. much smoother. Chevrolet gets 2 thumbs up from me for the new Malibu!
