2016 Chevy Mailbu. A compelling mix of thoughtful design, pleasing style, and modern technolgy. 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons A member in Nova Scotia, Canada I'm very pleased with powertrain. I have the 1.5lt and six speed auto. It has plenty of power for my modest needs. The fuel economy has been good so far. 5.3l highway and 7.4 city. My previous car was a Buick Lucerne, so this a big improvement. I was nervous... |

2016 Chevrolet Malibu Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Fitted with a 250-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (much like that similarly optional in the 2013-2015) and a new eight-speed automatic transmission, and carrying fewer pounds, the Chevrolet Malibu is quicker than four-cylinder competitors, including the Kia Optima. But it's not as quick as the V6s from Honda, Toyota, Nissan,... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Kia Optima |

2014 Chevrolet Malibu Love Letter Member3363 Our 2014 Malibu 2.5L 4-cyl has about 30 HP more than our 2009 Malibu 2.5L 4-cyl had. This was due to enhancements such as direct injection & others. |
Starts and runs but has niggling problems 2005 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons Member5881 Powerful. Pulls strongly to 5,000 rpm when required. No problem merging on the highway even when loaded for a week's vacation. Transmission shifts smoothly. |

Dependable, Inexpensive Transportation 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons winstonthorne The 2.2L 4cyl engine, while great for gas mileage, is underpowered for such a large car. It's fine once I'm at cruising speed; however, I wish it worked a little better accelerating. |

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons Member1783 Quite pleased for my low-key, safety and economy-oriented driving style; e-assist feature is almost unnoticeable starting from rest or accelerating, can feel regenerative function associated with deceleration or braking but it is slight. |

2011 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons Member3385 Performance is fine but fuel economy is substandard for the V6 engine. |
|
2005 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons Member4058 Weak passing performance. |

|
2005 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons A member in New York, United States This car is a rocket, and can brake on a dime. The performance clearly outmatches the substandard steering control & handling (typical GM). |

2009 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons A member in Indiana, United States 4 cylinder 6-spd. auto moves in traffic like a small v8 of old, quiet, transmission is a wonderful thing |
|
2009 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons A member in Texas, United States The transmission can be slow to down shift; punch it and wait for the shift. Tends to downshift at highway speeds and forget to upshift. |

2006 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons Member3108 Gets up to speed very fast; can usually beat most any normal car plus Mustangs at the traffic light. Daily driver with some pep. |

2009 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons Member2948 6 speed transmission, like paddle shifters for more driver involvement when I feel like it. |
|
2008 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons Member2855 4-banger lacks power and seems to get consistently less than EPA ratings. The V6 engine is a beast but it has a widespread shuddering problem at ~1.5K RPM. |
|
2007 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons kwbuggy Lots of passing power and good fuel economy. Transmision shifts very smoothly and does not hunt for gears when cruising. |
|

2006 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons Member745 The 3.9L engine has tremendouse power (for a V6) and pulls strongly throughout its RPM range. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and very quickly, always in the right gear. |
