2005 Chevrolet Malibu Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by almostready

Feature availability

Incredible number of ways to configure the interior, hatch, seats, and cargo areas. The best all purpose utility car I ever owned

Powertrain performance

This car is a rocket, and can brake on a dime. The performance clearly outmatches the substandard steering control & handling (typical GM).

Rear seat room & comfort

When have you seen a car with rear seats that both recline and adjust back & forth?!! On top of that, they people in the back get a glass roof!

Handling

The steering on this line (including Pontiac G6) is so bad only an American car company could design and install, then not cover on warranty.

Interior styling

Although the interior can be totally configured by the user for any task, everything is cheap looking plastic, and feels like it. No one under 35 yrs old would ever buy this car (is anyone in GM marketing under 35 yrs old?).
