Stylish and Reliable Car

published

I have been driving Holden malibu since 2015, and find this is quite stylish and reliable car. I drive around 150 Kms every day, and the car handles well on the road, quite sturdy, smooth and never had a problem in the last 5 years. Very low maintenance required and have to only do the regular maintenance as per manufacturer requirements. Holden entertainment system is quite good, climate control works quite well. Good leather upholstry still looks good after 5 years, does not peel off or crack. Engine and transmission is quite good especially with Unleaded 98 petrol. Needs a little more power when using E10 though.

Purchased in December 2021 at Holden Dealers for $34,000.00.

MALIBU/COMMODORE?

published

If I am not mistaken the Malibu is an Opel Insignia or Chevy Malibu. Its now the new Commodore. The reviews of that car are quite good. puzzling that a name change changes opinion. I bought a Malibu in 2105, delightful, still have it, probably for a long time. Wont be buying a Commodore.

Love the car

published

Comfortable, stylish and economic. I've had this car for over a year now and I have had no issues. The car drives really well and all the features work as advertised. The boot also has a generous amount of space which is really handy. Only negative is limited leg room in back seats.

Massively underated car

published

Huge boot, fuel economy of around 8L/100. Have found the seats to be very comfortabe, and i think it looks way better than a vanilla Camry. There are a few downsides, lack of rear legroom, no rear seat vents, and the engine could do with a bit more power. Still, 100% satisfied with the purchase, and it's a shame they were neither promoted when on sale, nor that they make them any more.

A car full of electrical problems.

published

The electric engine management system continues to fail, I have had it back to Holden many times to reset the electronics. I am not happy and advise that no one buys this as a second hand car or you will face the same issues. It has been a total problem filled car.

Love this car

published

This is a beautiful medium size car. Very comfortable. Love the hidden storage behind the screen. Very cheap to run. The dash lights are an extra bit if glam which I love. Only thing lacking in my model is there is no navigation system. Quite expensive to get this added in. Current models have this included I believe. Large boot space. Can only fit 2 car seats in the back also. All in all, I love this car. Cant believe its not advertised more.

Perfect car if no kids

published

Fantastic car it's comfortable and nice and quiet to drive but no leg room in the back for the kids! Luxurious leather seats, my favourite function in the car is the seat warmers. Dashboard lights up blue and looks nice at night and not to bright. Nice looking car on the road.

Best value new car I found

published

After driving many vehicles and types I came across the malibu by chance. I took it for a drive and was immediately impressed, the more I looked and compared it the better it became. Having owned one now for two month I am no less impressed. The ride and comfort are first rate and the included extras mean that there is no extra expenses.
Everything particularly the look
Nothing that I have found yet

Engine SizeFour cylinder petrol

I have now owned the car for nearly 12 months and am just as happy if no more so and am getting less than 8 litres per 100 kms.

Does anyone know how to remove the front headrest from holden malibu?

I looked into this myself when I bought seat covers for my Malibu, I found that you cannot remove the head rests as there is no button at the base of the head rest and jt says nothing in the owners manual.
