I see more in the last month than I had seen all winter also. That said, I started a new job and I drive a bit more / farther now also so maybe it's an illusion. That said, it was nice driving mine when there were very few around. I got lots of stares and second looks which I loved. Malibus are very nice compared with the sea of dull Camrys on the roads. I am just over 6 months now. No issues aside from some overheating when my rad got iced over after driving through a storm in the winter. Not the car's fault obviously. |

"By the way our 2008 is doing fine, no problems so far...no squeaks, leaks, rattles, thumps or broken switches and dials. Great car!" Great to hear this...if only GM did this 10 years ago and did it across the entire vehicle lineup, maybe they wouldn't be in the straits they are today... Chapter 11, here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother in law just pulled the trigger tonight on a 2009 Malibu LTZ base with a moonroof and upgrade stereo. He was looking at the Camry, Altima and 2010 Fusion. He took my LT2 V6 for a couple of drives and I think it sold him along with the looks. Now that summer is coming I am jealous of his sunroof.

Replying to: marsha7 (Apr 19, 2009 6:10 pm) I never could understand why some people would be happy that people may be losing their jobs. I am at 11K miles and my 2008 is doing great ! I am glad we are back to Sunroof season too. The heated seats got me thru the winter, but an open sunroof makes the daily commute so much more enjoyable. |

Malibu was 3rd on my list, after Genesis and G8, to replace my 2001 Impala. I'm 6'3"  310lbs, 55" through the shoulders, 50" in waist. Just got back from Orlando for 5 day vacation, rented a 08 Malibu, and hated it. Good looking car, and it drove fine, but everytime I got in I caught my left, rear thigh on the point that results from the continuation of the driver's door arm rest when the door is open. After 1st day, I looked at door frame and figured out the problem, and with that knowledge was able to gently work my hips past the point, but still gently brushed the still sore area on the point. By day 5 I was cursing the car. Too bad.

Can anyone tell me or does anyone know where I can go and what equipmet I need to purchase to get a deep rumble out of the exhaust? I know Its not a big souped up V8 but I believe I can get that nice muscle sound from my 2009 V6. I love my Malibu and I have given her some cosmetic up dates that are very sharp, from Larger rims and tires, chrome door handles, chrome door pillars, chrome grill, and tinted windows but my work of art will not be complete until I can get the sound I want. Can anyone help.....please?

Replying to: vanman1 (Apr 22, 2009 4:41 pm) Seriously, I'm 51, have driven many cars in my life, a motorcyclist for 20 years, and a class II CDL driver. I'm not a lame-o. I don't 'get caught' on anything, but bumped into the small bit of the arm rest that's exposed when you have the driver's seat pushed all the way back and all the way down. Moving the seat forward to block the offending armrest portion then makes it difficult to get my head to clear the roofline on getting in. It's a small thing, but it absolutely killed my desire to own this car. My number 3 pick is now a used pre-2005 Impala with low miles, instead of a new Malibu. |

Replying to: etcarroll (Apr 24, 2009 5:25 am) Now thinking of the Buick Lucerene as the Impala (reminds me of a police car or rental agency vehicle) Will wait to see how GM, the Government and potential bankruptcy turns out first..One looses enough on a vehicle purchase when purchasing from a financially strong manufacturer. |
