Used Chevrolet Malibu for Sale in Rome, GA

First, let me preface this by saying I'm a huge Chevy fan to begin with, so that greatly influence my car-buying decision. When I saw the Chevy Malibu with the shiny gold GM logo on both the driver & passenger side doors, I was hooked. I like the modern overall design of the vehicle, and how it drives/handles. The V6 is quite a step up from my old 4 cylinder Cavalier. The seats are adjustable in a few different ways, so it's fairly easy to get comfortable if you play around with the settings a bit. (Could be better, though.) The trunk is huge! My friends like to say you could put a few bodies back there, haha. From the position I keep my seat back from the dash based on my height, there is a bit of a blind spot where the panel for the driver's side door is. If I'm looking left to make sure it's safe to pass someone or change lanes, I have started to go and then realized traffic wasn't clear. The car has been very dependable in the 3 years I've owned it (purchased used, too). I've only had to perform minimal, basic repairs, and not very often. There are some noises that the mechanic said I'll just have to live with unless I want to spend a large amount of money getting it repaired, which I wasn't happy about. It's standard for these Chevy vehicles, I'm told, but won't hinder safety/performance. It's just annoying to listen to. The gas mileage is decent for a V6. I get around 25 MPG in the city.

This was a vehicle I bought right before I graduated high school. The fuel consumption was very respectable and would get me an average of 33 miles per gallon. I enjoyed that it only took about $30 to fill up the tank when gas was about $1.80 a gallon. I began to use this vehicle for all of my college career. As time went on, several of the plastic comments began to fail. The convenience clip near the windshield broke off right after toughing it on day. It seems infrared heat from the sun had baked the plastic and made it brittle. The visor mirror doors swung loosely since the locking tab that holds the doors broke off. I've replace the catalytic converter 3x. My turning signal switch broke off at the base. One day, smoke began to flow from the stereo and then it failed completely. I've had the transmission fail. I've had to replace the fuel pump. I've had to replace the exhaust manifold. The car lacked any reasonable power for merging into fast moving traffic on the interstate. It was probably the worst car I have ever owned. It was bad enough that it soured me from ever buying a GM vehicle again. Terrible quality.
