#1193 of 1301 Re: 2008 LTZ for 21.5k - deal or no deal? [yash] by guss Dec 23, 2008 (5:18 am)
Replying to: yash (Dec 22, 2008 10:03 pm) My decision came down to, I liked the suede seats over the leather in the LTZ. And being heated they are really easy to get into in the winter.   The Bluetooth would have been nice(not offered on the '08's), but I don't make that many calls from the road.   I do like the LTZ V-6's wheels better. I see they offer them now on the 4 cylinder LTZ for '09, smart move by Chevy.   Either way, those prices look terrific. Good luck on which ever one you decide on.

Replying to: yash (Dec 22, 2008 1:27 pm) Yes, tough choices but you will be happy with either. I went with the 2LT mostly because of the interior. I preferred the suede seats and the color choices of the 2LT. Comes down to personal preference. The 2009 may be a better buy when you consider future value, since it is really a year newer in the eyes of appraisers. Replies to this message: yash (Dec 23, 2008 9:51 pm)

#1196 of 1301 Fleet sales Malibu's Saviour? by bwia Dec 24, 2008 (3:07 am)
According to a Wikepedia entry, "Out of 19,725 Malibus sold in September 2008, 10,462 or 53%, were sold to fleets." If that is true then prospective buyers should be getting even better deals than those posted here. Nonetheless, such a sales mix will have a significantly negative impact on resale value down the road. Replies to this message: vanman1 (Dec 30, 2008 12:30 pm)

Replying to: bwia (Dec 24, 2008 3:07 am) I think the Malibu will be ok. It could just be a blip and even if fleet sales are going higher the car is well made and rated which counts for a lot.   Camry fleet sales are also higher, I see a whole line of 4 banger base models at one of the local rental lots.
#1199 of 1301 2009 LTZ 6 cyl by mickey77 Dec 30, 2008 (4:04 pm)
I picked up the car last night and so far I am very happy, however, I find that the glove box does not have a light when opened? Can this be done aftermarket?
#1200 of 1301 by vanman1 Jan 01, 2009 (5:59 pm)
I never noticed no glove box light.. I will have to check that tomorrow.   Could get one of these I guess:   http://www.brookstone.com/sl/product/10696-tap-lite-anywhere-led-light-assorted-- colors.html
#1201 of 1301 Ride and Trunk space? by CapeCod Feb 07, 2009 (11:20 am)
I recently test drove a 09 Malibu. My first impression was it sat a bit low ?? Also how convenient and useful is the trunk? I ask because I am moving up from a Vibe. The trunk opening seemed tight... the trunk itself seemed compressed because of the lowness of rear deck. Any golfers out there have experience with storing clubs and pull cart in trunk? Do owners often find themselves loading suitcases and big duffle bags... using the back doors with the back seats folded down ??? ALso A few times a year I will need it to haul bags of leaves... Will I be able to fold seats down, cover with tarp, & load my bags? Thanks, Replies to this message: lhlavenka (Feb 08, 2009 3:10 pm) vanman1 (Feb 09, 2009 7:11 pm) bohemia1 (Feb 10, 2009 4:40 pm)

Replying to: CapeCod (Feb 07, 2009 11:20 am) Just got around to reading your post. I have an 08 LT1. The trunk is large for the size car but you are right the opening is small. I'm not a golfer so don't know about golf bags. We (two rather large adults) left for a month last summer, packed the trunk and seat (folded down) area jammed with fishing gear, clothes and food. Everything fit no problems. About the seat height or door opening. The Malibu is a bit tight for a 6"1" 230# 75yo arthritic old flatus. However, a few weeks back I had a re-occurring back problem & the Dr. sent me to physical therapy. I now get in and out w/o problem. The car now has about 12000 miles on it w/o problems. Highway mileage 65 mph seems to be 30 to 31. Day long rides are comfortable and the handling just fine.
