Used Chevrolet Malibu for Sale

The 2009 Malibu has been a very solid, well built vehicle. We have the 4 cylinder model. The engine could use a little more punch getting on the expressway, but we also knew we weren’t getting a car with a powerful engine. Fuel economy has been very good. On long trips I can easily plan on getting over 30 MPG highway. I am 6’ 4” tall, and the driver seat has plenty of room for me. The car is a little cramped with our family of four in it. The heated leather seats, remote start, excellent sound system and overall handling and ride make this feel like a much more expensive vehicle. We purchased the Malibu as a GM Certified Used Vehicle, and only needed to use the warranty for two small repairs.

I would not recommend this car nor would I purchase this model of car again. I dislike lots of things with this car, I've had some issues with this car that I wouldn't have expected so soon. I really like the look of my car, that's what attracted me to it. I was drawn to the fuel mileage, which is still a great plus with owning the car, it's super on fuel. The car has lots of room in the trunk and a big back seat, enough to fit my three kids. I'm not so fond of the hard seats, it's very noticeable after spending a little time traveling in the vehicle. You hear a lot of road noise inside the car, it's awful. The oil maintenance of the car is great. There is an oil life indicator on the dash board, it tells you the life of the oil and the oil life is LONG! I've gone about 12,000 miles before my first oil change. The tires didn't last that the car came with and the rims for some reason had a lot of ice build up on them in the winter. I've had to have the tires taken off and cleaned just to get the shimming to stop. I feel like the steering with this car is very loose. I feel the car drives more like a v6 than a v4 so that is another plus. I've had my rear defrost stop working as well as my remote starter. My car is a 2012 and wouldn't have expected that when I purchased it.

Solid 4 door vehicle. Plenty of room for a family of four. Decent gas mileage (I usually average 27 or 28). I have only had to do standard maintenance so far, so the out of pocket expenses have been minimal.
