2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx LT Road Test
I have to come clean in saying I really didn't like the Malibu sedan a heck of a lot when I last tested it. Like many, I can quickly be turned off, or for that matter turned on by a car's styling, and the Malibu's pudgy truck-like front end, swoopy fender accent lines and bulky butt end left me flat. Its interior is also a little too "plasticky" for me, while I didn't find its handling as exciting as those European-style TV ads make it appear.
