How reliable is a Chevy Malibu?

Are Chevy Malibus reliable? They’re really affordable and they’re pretty fun to drive but I don’t want to buy one if it’s just going to require a bunch of repairs within a few years.

It’s great that you’re doing your research before buying a new vehicle. The
Chevy Malibu
is considered to be pretty reliable overall and has a relatively low average annual repair cost of $532.
On average, the Chevy Malibu has a service life of 200,000 to 250,000 miles before you’ll start seeing major issues. This means that the car could last you for 13 to 17 years if you keep up with any necessary repairs!
