Used Car: 2010 Chevrolet Malibu Review
Review Last Updated: 7/26/12
High safety scores, a roomy cabin and good fuel economy ratings make the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu an ideal used midsize car for a number of shoppers. However, some rivals offer better reliability, nicer interiors and more standard features.
The 2010 Chevrolet Malibu is ranked:
When the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu was new, auto critics liked its attractive styling and well-balanced ride and handling. Some reviewers mentioned that the LATCH connectors were easy to locate and that installing car seats was effortless. The Malibu also comes with strong safety ratings.
The 2010 Malibu has a few faults though. Its reliability rating is on the low side for the class, and some test drivers thought the back seat wasn’t as comfortable as rivals’. Another potential downside is the 2010 Malibu’s lack of a navigation system, even as an option. Chevrolet’s OnStar turn-by-turn directions offer similar functionality, but this service requires a paid subscription.
The front-wheel drive 2010 Malibu has a four- or six-cylinder engine, which is paired with a four- or six-speed automatic transmission. The base four-cylinder Malibu gets 22/30 mpg city/highway, which is about average for the class. Six airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control and traction control are standard on the 2010 Malibu. Inside, the base Malibu includes a standard power driver’s seat, cruise control, OnStar and a six-speaker stereo with satellite radio and auxiliary input. Upper trims include available features like heated seats, Bluetooth, leather seats and an upgraded stereo.
