TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu
| 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2012 | On paper, the Malibu's rear seat is only a little tighter than those in the 2008-2012 sedan and in competing cars. In person, rear knee room would only be marginally competitive in the compact sedan segment. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, my shins graze the front seatbacks. GM is rushing some revised seats to market. But if past attempts to fix a cramped rear seat are any indication, this won't make a substantial difference. The rear seat in the Ford Fusion is roomier, if also short of the segment's quasi-limos. see full Chevrolet Malibu review | |

Both front & rear compartments very roomy & comfortable. Again, this is noted improvement over our 2009 Malibu. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

This is tight if front seats are postioned at or close to the back of their range; shorter wheelbase in this model compared to prior version. Rear seat access is excellent (i.e, for infant car seats, small item transport). see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

I'm 6'4" tall and 60 years old. I have a tough time getting in and out due to the low roof. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

If you have a long-legged person in the front, the rear seat legroom can be a bit small. A major issue however is that there are no vents in the backseat for climate control. This is especially noticeable in the winter. In order to keep my daughter warm driving in the mountains in the winter, we have to keep the front unbearably hot in order to circulate enough heat to keep her barely warm enough. We typically have to keep a blanket in the back seat for anyone to use in the winter when temperatures fall into the 30s. Switching to summer, the back seat can stay somewhat cool if the vents are pointed towards the back. Depending on where one sits, the front seats can block some of the airflow and it can be uncomfortably warm at times especially if sitting on the side of the Jeep that the sun is hitting. In the hottest part of the summer, we usually have to run the A/C at 3/4 full blast and on recirculate to keep the back seat comfortable. see full Jeep Wrangler review |

Even tho there are rear seats, I would never ride in back, too small back there. see full Jeep Wrangler review |
