2006 Chevrolet Malibu Review:
The vehicle I own has a clunk in the steering. Even though that is a common problem to this model. I will have to pay for it myself. I have driven G.M. products for approximately 56 years. This might be enough to have me look at other makes. I strongly feel that G.M. should make this a recall.

2006 Chevrolet Malibu Review:
This car is a thorn in my side! Seats stain if anything touches them, rattling in the dash that drives my insane, clunking in steering- had fixed under warranty, then returned. Both front control arms blown after 42,000 miles. Each control arm costs $200.00 retail, not including labor to install. Piece of @#x& way over priced will NEVER buy another Chevy again!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Malibu?
The 3.5 v6 has more than enough power and avg 32 mpg.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Malibu?
The noise level inside is so dang loud. seems to come from rear end like bad wheel bearings but they are supposedly ok. This is reason why I wish I never bought this car. I have never owned a car with such a loud road noise level inside. Friend has an 08 Cobalt with same noise problem.
2006 Chevrolet Malibu Review:
I like the looks, mpg, and power of the 3.5 but due to noise problem, I would not buy another one.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Malibu?
I like the spacious interior, remote starter(when it works), and the huge trunk (great for Hockey equipment)
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Malibu?
I would improve mostly everything.. The interior is not great, my drivers seat has been replaced twice and still isn't right. The tires, steering, brakes, computer, radio, fuel system.. etc....
2006 Chevrolet Malibu Review:
Lets see, I would rate this car a high rated POOR!! I loved my new 06 Malibu LT when I drove it off the lot. It looked sharp, crisp navy blue all the extras.. it was loaded. I hated it when in the first week it began to have clunks and computer issues. I have had it for 3 years and have had it fixed at least ten or more times. First it was error messages on the computer, then it was a broken drivers seat, then a clunk in steering (which cost over 400$ to fix), then the radio broke, then the fuel systen malfunctioned and the gas gage wouldn't work, then the struts needed to be replaced, then tires and brakes & rotors (way before their time).. Now at 60,000 miles it is starting all ove again. The computer is malfunctioning and telling us door ajar and low fuel(when clearly the doors are not and we have a full tank of gas). I have pumped at least 4 grand into this car in the past 2 years alone. I did not opt for the extended warranty, and this car has become a thorn in my side. Like most, when you drive it off the lot it depreciates and the dealers will take it back but with the depreciation.. I would not ever buy another Malibu, ever..
