4.2out of 5 overall- 5.0
Who needs a hybrid to get 37mpg?
by Achu FaKer on 8/26/2026 5:12:27 PM
Bought at 26k miles, now 152000!. Great fuel mileage, always starts even in Minnesota winters. Remote start, heated seats, AC, cruise control. Everything still works. GM should be building this exact car and drive train still. Super solid! - 4.0
Overall a great sedan.
by ilia8 on 2/21/2026 5:35:12 AM
Pros: Long-lasting for the most part and comfortable. Cons: Audio system loses sound quality over time and the car’s value isn’t great nowadays. Verdict: One of Chevy’s best sedans that is comfortable to drive and only needs routine maintenance even at around 70,000 miles. It’s a shame the audio system didn’t last as long as the rest of the car. - 5.0
Great car

I have had my 2004 Malibu since 2010. The only things I have had to replace are the battery, the coil, and my tires. In the 13yrs I have had it, it has always gotten me wherever I needed to go and home again. I will keep it forever.
