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

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??? |

Overall, given how awful everything from every brand is moving, it's actually still going pretty well vs. that, just not great in terms of how it started pre-bad market. As for the Impala, those numbers have been discussed elsewhere, and a car that's still heavily fleeted, etc. is going to have higher numbers.

Keep your head up. If you bought Malibu and intend to keep it for 10 years like I do. You should not have to scream and just enjoy your Malibu ride.

Replying to: bwia (Dec 13, 2008 6:02 am) Now that I think of it , I remember seeing the 2007 Malibu for about $15k (late 2007) when I first started looking around for a new car. I guess the 2008 Malibu was late to start offering rebates in May and even early summer due to late production time,low production volume, strikes , ect PS . Some may be DEMO cars, never registered , with very low miles on them. |
