2014 Chevrolet Malibu Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
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 |

2005 | 4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 305-horsepower 5.6L V8 5-speed automatic RWD |
Plenty of leg room and most usable room with seats folded up. Seats folded up out of the way instead of folding down using up floor to ceiling room. see full Nissan Titan review |

2005 | 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 305-horsepower 5.6L V8 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
The rear bench is simply uncomfortable. Long trips (an hour or longer) are not recommended in the back seat. see full Nissan Titan review |
