Very safe ride -- good family vehicle
This vehicle was under my parents name, but I found myself commuting with it daily. It's a very smooth ride and has exceptionally good fuel economy, for a v6. There's also plenty of space in the vehicle and trunk, which makes large shops a breeze for packing. Compared to competitor v6 vehicles, the Malibu doesn't quite match up in performance -- but it definitely has a lot more up and go than a v4.
About 2 months ago I got into a bad accident driving this car, going about 80km/hr I drove off the side of a ravine and the car flipped 180 degrees, both airbags went off and the car was totalled. However, me and my passenger were perfectly unharmed! The emergency crew that arrived on the scene said it was lucky we were alive after seeing the wreckage, and that said -- I'd say this vehicle is very safe!
Overall, I think I would purchase this model again if I were on a budget.

2006 Chevrolet Malibu

Lots of repairs
I'm not sure if I have a Monday car or not, but it would seem to me that the repairs on my vehicle just keep piling up. What makes me more annoyed is that my mechanic is always saying "oh, it's common for that car". My question back is what "isn't" common.
Maybe I was just spoiled with my no frills 5 speed manual 1999 Saturn SL1. That thing went on and on without too much fuss. Just the occasional yearly fix. However, with the 2006 Chevy Malibu LT, it seems to go on forever.
I must add that I bought this car 2nd hand, so I don't know the initial history. Also, it is pretty much loaded I think for the type of vehicle (i.e. from a gadget point of view). I think that is where my problems come from: too many gadgets. I seem to have to constantly get the bearings replaced, ball joints (stuff in the front end). My fuel gauge stopped working and the gauge is integrated with the pump; therefore, a $600+ part. Because the fuel gauge isn't working, the engine light is on and the auto start doesn't work when that is on. Doesn't really matter now because both keyfobs don't work anymore. The other day the trunk opened for no apparent reason and won't stay shut. The locks on the passenger door doesn't work anymore (well, the lock button, not the lock itself).
So, most of my problems are front end and electrical related. The engine and transmission are sound and work great. The car is comfortable and is much safer on the road than my Saturn was. I think my next vehicle will be a little lighter on the gadgets and probably more fuel efficient as well. My morning commute used to cost me $13 both directions with the Saturn, but now runs around $23 with the Chev Malibu. Something I was aware of when I bought the car, but never fully realized how much more it was goign to be.

This car feels far more spacious then when i first saw it. My son plays hockey and we were nervous about being able to carry his and maybe a friends gear to the arena. No problem, better then the Impala we had previously. My wife enjoys driving it to and from work, good gas mileage, comfortable, easy to park, little if any blind spots. She feels safe, enough said.

A very comfortable and reliable car. Have not had any trouble with it since we purchased it. She is good on fuel and runs smoothly. Don't even hear the engine. Fantastic space in the trunk and interior. I love the look - to me it is a stylish car.
There were a few minor problems. The aircon gave out and the passenger side window motor stopped working, but we did buy the car secondhand, so these were minor problems to be expected.
But I feel confident in putting my children in it. It feels safe. I would definately recommend this make and model car.

Disappointing
I find this car to be very fuel efficient but it is very small in the backseat area with hardly any foot room and little things always seem to need fixing. The signal lights continually need to be replaced , the coolant fluid and we also had to replace the steering component. Also the key fobs quit working and are to expensive to replace.

if you have kids or even if you dont this vehicle is ideal for both, its safe, and reliable, the cost of gas, and mileage is ideal for working class famililies, and easily affordable. its very easy to drive, and has a very sleek look. large trunk space, leather interior(good for kids, easy to clean) heated seats, radio controles on stering wheel is easily accessable, the dash controles tells you when you need oil change, check air in tire, door ajar seat belt chimes when not buckled front or back seats
