Just traded in my NISSAN sentra se-r 2006. I am glad i got rid of that garbage econobox for this great car. Just got it with the 6year warranty so i am not worried about reliability. this car is nice all the stock features comfy seats big trunk great gas mileage. HUGE REBATES over $5thousand in them plus military discount. The look is beautiful 2.4 inline 4 is so quiet doesn't struggle has enough power for daily driving.great car

Great little car

My 2010 Malibu LT2 is the first car I ever owned, but I’ve driven plenty of other cars and this one wins hands down. It’s big enough to be practical for most purposes but small enough that it’s very economical and quite maneuverable. The 4-cylinder has plenty of power and decent acceleration. The ride is stunning both from how smooth and how quiet it is. My only complaints are some relatively small electrical/lighting problems and occasional jerky shifts, both of which I’ve read are common problems for this year. Overall though, if you want something that’s great on gas but also fun and easy to drive, look no further.

Too much road noise and the ride is not all that smooth. Not enough get up and go power.

Piece of Junk

This car looks pretty nice on the outside, but that's about it. It sits WAY too low. The drivers seat is like a cockpit. There is no comfortable driving position if you put up the seat higher, you just hit into the steering wheel, and it sits very very low inside of the vehicle. It is loaded with blind spots; the car is very hard to get a good view out of. Obviously not meant for someone taller than 5 foot. The seat itself is also hard as a rock. Back seats are very cramped. Everything inside is a junky plastic. I think I will be sticking with my 1991 Ford Country Squire.
