Rental quality car

Comfortable and easy driver. Bit more engine noise than the competition. Interior has improved dramatically from older models. Annoying proximity keyfob. You're forced to get the fob out to look at it in order to press the right part of the rubber monobutton on the control face. The fob has lock and unlock buttons next to each other on a single surface, with no way to tell which button you're pushing by feel. Trunk unlatch button on the fob is balky. Buttons on steering wheel also made o in a cheap rubberized monobutton style.

This car has terrible quality compared with Ford, Toyota, Honda and Subaru. Spend the extra $1K to $2K and you will be much happier. Wish I would have....now I am looking to trade it in for another car.

It fits

I've been driving Chevy's for years so I'm a bit biased. The Malibu I own isn't the fastest or the best-looking sedan out there but it's perfect for me. Good mileage, comfortable seats, and easy-to-use controls and is one of the few sedans still available. I like the iconic Chevy look.
