That’s reassuring! It seems like a great car overall, but how’s the resale value holding up?

22

The resale value is decent, but it does depend on condition and mileage. I’ve seen values around $20k for lower mileage models.

23

For a turbo engine, long-term reliability really matters. I just don’t want the engine to give up on me after a few years of driving!

Totally get that! But I’ve read plenty of owners say they’ve had no serious issues after a few years.

25

All in all, the 2018 Malibu is holding up pretty well! Just be sure to keep an eye on the software updates.

26

I’m very pleased with the technological features of the 2018 Malibu Premier 2.0 Turbo. The infotainment system is intuitive, and Android Auto integration makes navigation a breeze!

27

Agreed! The touchscreen is responsive, but have you experienced any glitches while using Apple CarPlay?

28

I haven’t noticed any glitches with CarPlay, but I do find the interior comfort to be superior. The seats are plush and supportive, making long drives enjoyable.

Definitely! That said, some might find the rear seating a bit cramped, especially for taller passengers. What do you all think?

30

As a tall passenger, I can confirm that the rear seat is not ideal for long trips. But the driver and front passenger comfort is unmatched! The layout is sleek and modern too.

31

For sure! The front seats have great lumbar support. Anyone else find the layout a bit confusing at first, though?

32

Yes, the first week was a learning curve! But once you get used to it, the layout enhances the driving experience. The controls are well-placed for the most part.

33

I love the sound system! It really adds to the interior experience versus other sedans I’ve tried. Anyone also noticed the ambient lighting? It’s a nice touch!

34

For sure! The ambient lighting sets a cozy mood. Do you think it’s too much for some? I’ve heard mixed reviews.

Interesting point! It’s definitely not for everyone. I personally think it’s stylish, but my friend joked it looks like a disco ball during nighttime driving.

Haha, that’s funny! But honestly, the rest of the interior is refined and functional too, which enhances the overall ownership experience.
