Great all-around car

Has been in my family's life since new, never needed any huge repairs and the car is 17 years old! Great on gas, cheap parts can be found anywhere (GM), and every mechanic knows how to work on it.

Very reliable car

We've put a lot of miles on this car and she's still got heart! I love my little MAXX. She's very reliable. Also has a lot of back seat leg room.

Very sporty and reliable. Excellent value !

This car is very sporty. It's good in all types of weather conditions and has excellent power. It also has very good gas mileage for a sporty hatchback with 3.6 Liter engine.

Unique, very sporty, powerful and good on gas !

This is an excellent vehicle. It's very sporty, unique and powerful. The Malibu Maxx SS has a 3.9 Liter, V6 engine. It's a powerful engine, but runs on regular gas. Great value !

Most college friendly car I've owned

This car exceeded my needs. It was the perfect car to go back and forth to and from home. It had plenty of trunk space and was reliable so I could go places with all of my friends.

Reliable with plenty of space

Reliable with plenty of space. Fuel mileage is so so. Practical. There are not many NEW cars currently that have the same functionality and versatility that is offered when comparing to the Malibu Maxx.

Most fun to drive and great value over the years

It had the perfect balance of power, handling, and functionality of space. Great vehicle to carry passengers and cargo while not compromising on the fun and performance that only a Chevy SS model can deliver. It served me well throughout the years and has been difficult to match for my lifestyle. Most compatibles cost initially a lot more. This car saw me through many life changes and moves. It is a benchmark for me for an all season versatile sedan.
