2005 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx LT Price, Review, Specs & Road Test

The Malibu Maxx has proven popular so far: "Good, torquey power delivery plus seamless shifts. Pleasant enough for the urban cut and thrust--especially with the full boat of XM Radio on tap." "The amount of power, while it won't set any records, was a pleasant surprise. Nobody can complain about a lack of entertainment with this car, between the CD6 audio, XM Radio, and DVD player. Even though some goodies are optional, Chevy doles out a few electronic extras people don't expect in this price range, such as adjustable pedals and the auto-start feature." Another editor adds, "The Maxx's remote-start feature is great. Leaving the office late one night, I looked out the window and saw it had been raining. I pressed the key-fob's button to start and warm up the Maxx. A few minutes later, in the parking garage, I got into a warmed-up car that already had the heater blowing hot air despite the cold rain. I dig it."
