On the road, the Malibu certainly delivers a ride and driving feel expected of a typical family sedan in the mid-sized category. Interior space is plentiful and comfortable for four adults on long highway drives, and the Malibu seems well screwed together.

Fuel economy, though, is somewhat disappointing; as I drove the vehicle this week I could watch the gas gauge dropping, and with the price of fuel up in the $1.30 a litre range, that was disconcerting. It turns out I averaged 11.5L/100km for the week, the sad part being that I was very gentle on the throttle all week, so the result is disappointing.*Rating out of 5:
