2007 Chevrolet Malibu Review

This car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.

The Chevrolet Malibu emphasizes civilized road manners, quality construction, and buttoned-down practicality wrapped in innocuous if not anonymous styling. The Malibu has four trim levels: LS, LT, LTZ, and SS. All the trims provide different amenities such as: adjustable brake and accelerator pedals, UltraLux and leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, a six-way power driver's seat and automatic climate control. The SS has sportier exterior and interior appointments, a performance-tuned suspension and 18' alloy wheels. The LS and LT come with the 144hp 2.2-liter four-cylinder. The LTZ comes with the 217hp 3.5-liter V-6. The SS comes with the 240hp 3.9-liter V-6. For 2007, the 2.2-liter four-cylinder gains variable valve timing and all trims get standard side curtain airbags.
