Hi,
new to the Malibu scene. Have a few questions about the vehicle.

1) Are there any common problems with the vehicles? This one in particular has the LZ4 (fleet vehicle only) 3.5 V6.

2) Does anyone have the perfomance specs for this car, are there any reviews on the 3.5?

3) How do you guys and girls like the car and how is it treating you?

Thanks
Luke

I love my car but my dealership service department likes do ho-hum work.

Welcome to the site - you'll find a lot of good stuff about your car.

Welcome, and as you said the 3.5L was only offered in fleet cars. So make sure you check the Carfax carefully. That is a decent engine. Just a pushrod set-up so nothing fancy. Should get to 60 in the low 7 second range. It has much more power then the 2.4L, but alot less then the 3.6L.
My car has been pretty good to me, just had some steering issues alot of owners get. I just rolled past 17K.
