I can't believe it's not an import!

2013 Chevrolet Malibu LT 4dr Sedan w/1LT (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
This 2013 Malibu is all the reasons we used to buy import cars. It's quiet inside, good looking on the outside, has amazing tech, plenty of power, gets great gas mileage( 31 MPG rural driving), excellent paint work, all priced lower than most everything else. I don't know why GM couldn't or didn't build cars like this 30 years ago; I am just glad they do now. I was going to lease a Camry … SE to replace my aging Tundra which needed several VERY expensive repairs (!!!!) but the Malibu has more equipment and is 30% less in both down money and monthly payment. Best of all the 2013 Malibu is SO much better looking than the "dopey" looking 2013 Camry. Gotta love the cool blue interior illumination.
Best Kept Secret

Best kept secret out there, a real value for the money. I got a 1LT with the conv package and am impressed with the features for the money.
Great car for little money (low 20's...)
uncomfortable driver's seat

2013 Chevrolet Malibu LT 4dr Sedan w/1LT (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
I have the LT model with the "upgraded interior", bought in mid-Dec 2012.
I find that I am absolutely unable to get the power driver's seat into a comfortable back position, no matter how I adjust the many electric controls.
The lumbar adjustment is completely crazy.
It sticks out WAY too much, even on the most "reduced" setting.
Otherwise, I have had only 2 issues:
1) Brake lights … would not go out after releasing brake pedal because pedal was not coming back up on it's own (needed a new pedal assembly)
2) Steering wheel not centered; wheel was positioned slightly to the right as car was driven straight (needed alignment)
Not Bad

2013 Chevrolet Malibu LT 4dr Sedan w/1LT (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
This is a nice car, not a great car but a nice car. It does whjat it was made to do, take 4 or 5 people from one place to another in some comfort. It is the first American car I have owned in 20+ years
and yes The American car industry has come a long way but.... why do they scrimp on little things that would make the car a pleasure instgead of
just
O.K.? Windows
that one touch going … down but not up? No internal trunk release? Power seats on one side only? and
no going up and down
does NOT make the seat power. No spare tires? Not run flats either..
It
could use a bit more power too. I will say
for the price it is a nice
car.
