#1151 of 1301 Re: Cracked Clear Coat---REPAIR OR NOT? [colinmcnamara] by sidewinderz Nov 04, 2008 (3:26 pm)
Replying to: colinmcnamara (Nov 04, 2008 1:48 pm) I would bring it to a another body shop and get a second opinion . There might be hidden damage . Ask specific questions and make your decision based upon the body shop's answer .You must have brought the car to the insurance company's recommneded body shop in order to get the $700 check .

Replying to: colinmcnamara (Nov 04, 2008 1:48 pm) A) Will my warranty be voided if I don't fix it?   Shouldn't be, as far as I understand,   B) Is it likely that this crack will allow water/snow/ice in and cause damage to the machinery?   What machinery is there under the bumper?   Here is what you should keep in mind, though:   a. If you don't repair your bumper, the insurance company will reduce    the appraised value of your car by the amount of the check you    received, and should your car be totalled, you'll get the payment    that amount less.   b. Should your car be rear-ended again, you may have problems getting    another compensation: how can you prove that the damage then is the    damage from the new collision, not the old crack, perhaps increased    in size?   c. There should be certain absorbers under your bumper: they may be    compromised as a result of the collision -- you can't know without    inspecting them.      Should you be rear-ended again at high speed, your car may not    react as soundly as it would with pristine absorbers. This may    prove important for the car's and your own bodies.   Good luck making the right decision!

Replying to: colinmcnamara (Nov 04, 2008 1:48 pm) I would get it fixed. The crack could get worse.

Replying to: deckdog (Nov 02, 2008 9:44 pm) Congrats on the new Malibu!   The new Malibus are among the best of the best cars out there, no one will go wrong buying one. I researched the car extensively and I love my 2LT V6. Not one issue yet.
#1155 of 1301 Malibu stuff by vanman1 Nov 24, 2008 (5:53 pm)
Anyone get any cool accessories or toys for their new Malibu?   So far I got one of these to replace my dealer sticker:   http://cgi.ebay.ca/DALE-EARNHARDT-CHEVROLET-DEALERSHIP-LOGO-EMBLEM-NEW_W0QQitemZ- 270306309538QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Automotive_Tools?hash=item270306309538&_tr- ksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1215|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318   Looks so nice compared to what I had.
#1156 of 1301 3.6Liter Direct Injection by mazda6dude Nov 30, 2008 (2:27 am)
Does anyone know whether the chevy malibu V6 3.6 liter engine will be upgraded or will get the new direct injection 3.6L engine that has debuted in several of its CUV's, CTS and the new Camaro? Thanks. Replies to this message: vanman1 (Nov 30, 2008 8:13 am) beach15 (Nov 30, 2008 2:06 pm)

Replying to: mazda6dude (Nov 30, 2008 2:27 am) It would make for a great SS model!   I haven't heard anything though.
#1158 of 1301 Re: 3.6Liter Direct Injection [mazda6dude] by beach15 Nov 30, 2008 (2:06 pm)
Replying to: mazda6dude (Nov 30, 2008 2:27 am) There was a rumor there would be a new Sport model eventually with the DI 3.6L, but the last I heard of that was long ago and I haven't seen or heard anything at all related recently. Possible, but not overly likely, but we'll see in time.
#1159 of 1301 frozen trunk by vanman1 Dec 07, 2008 (10:19 am)
We had about an inch snow last night and when I tried to open my trunk this morning it was frozen shut. Is this common with the new Malibus? I never really experienced that with my old car barring a more substantial freezing rain or snow fall.   Thanks Replies to this message: packer3 (Dec 17, 2008 2:52 pm) vanman1 (Dec 18, 2008 6:39 pm)
#1160 of 1301 2009 Malibu.....Good or Bad??? by starryknight Dec 08, 2008 (10:22 am)
I just read the model review and the editors rating (with brief review). The editor gives it a 6.9 (adequate). Says the following:   Overall    Average materials, driving charactertistics and bland design prevent the Malibu from receiving a hearty recommendation.   Comfort    Malibu neither offends nor dazzles.   Function    Nothing ground-breaking inside, except the optional DVD screen that emerges from the arm rest.   Design/Build Quality    Monochromatic interior theme has no personality, and the materials have a low-rent look and feel.   The model review say pretty much the opposite. So, which is it Edmunds.....good car or bad???
