The 2005 Chevrolet Malibu remains a popular, well-equipped entry in the hotly contested segment of midsize family sedans. Economical inline-4; fine ride and handling balance; quiet cabin: high scores in crash tests. The interior is in excellent condition. Extra clean exterior. There is a properly functioning engine in this vehicle. The transmission shifts like it was new. 75% of the tread life remains on the tires.
