What’s new

　　The midsize Malibu has been totally redesigned for 2004. It now rides on an entirely new vehicle platform and offers a more powerful V6 along with must-have safety features like side curtain airbags and adjustable pedals.

　　

zzdcar says

　　Roomy, affordable and well equipped, the 2004 Malibu delivers excellent value.
