Reviews of the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid

CNET Review
The Good: We like the functionality of the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid's stereo interface. The car's exterior styling looks good, and it has responsive handling.
The Bad: The hybrid system doesn't give much of an improvement over the nonhybrid version, and we couldn't achieve the EPA-rated fuel economy. Navigation and hands-free calling are available only through OnStar.
The Bottom Line: The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid, while very inexpensive, doesn't get much value from its hybrid system, and its cabin tech is only a little better than average.
