It may be "dated", but it is still a very good looking sedan. Probably best to use a 2.0 Turbo in it, but for an economical daily driver, it's just fine. You can get the RS version in my area for $22,000 and an 1LT w/ heated seats and sunroof for $24,000. That's pretty affordable for most folks.
The last ever American sedan to be FWD (except for the ones not sold in America). Back in the 1980s, many such vehicles entered production until the options were narrowed down to just this model at the start of this decade. Because many Americans prefer SUVs and many foreign brands offer a large selection of cheap sedans, no American automaker is likely to ever invest in a new sedan model ever again. The one exception is the Ford Mustang Mach-4 which will be RWD. So this truly marked the end of an era for American sedans. However, on the bright side, no more American sedans are FWD and are instead RWD, which means their drivetrain is traditionally American.
I wish they had kept this thing a bit more old school. I'd consider buying one if it could be optioned with any of the following: a naturally aspirated engine, an automatic transmission, a physical key to start it, a manual parking brake, NO auto stop/start, or an in-dash CD player. If they held on to any of these things I would seriously consider buying this car.
The chrome looks way better than the cheap rubbish black plastic all these new cars are using which will age very poorly. GM just can't seem to stop making mistakes and killing this car off is a doozy!

I own one by today's standards it's very traditional
Probably can buy these at a steep discount. sad to see it go. They need to make a small sedan but completion is crazy these days
That’s a lot of moola 💰 for a midsize Chevy car. 33 plus finance and all the other jazz they’ll add on, would be near 40 G’s
And only a 5 yr 60k mile powertrain warranty ……. Naw lol GM is on Krack. A Hyundai Elantra is a similar size car with 10 yr 100k powertrain warranty.
Thats is the top of the line Malibu for 2025. Chevy got rid of the hybrid and the 2.0T. Base is around 25k.

More & more sedans are disappearing.
Suvs & crossovers are what the consumer wants
Not surprised anything GM builds is absolute garbage even the Silverados.......
who does a review and doesn't pop the hood.
Looks are fine but engine is way too small and has a CVT.
Most CVTs are unreliable but the one in the Malibu is actually pretty reliable.
