The Malibu is a great daily driver for someone looking for a quiet and comfortable family sedan. But for this driver it just didn’t stand out in any category that would earn it a spot on my personal list. There are so many great cars out there that do stand out that I couldn’t compromise for something that just does it all okay.
It did do well in terms of fuel economy, though. Coldish weather with winter tires and over the week I managed to average 8.7 L/100 km with the Malibu, not bad at all for a good amount of power from the 2.5L engine.
At $35,000 I would be shopping and comparing a lot of vehicles if I was looking in this class and I’m not sure I would settle on the Malibu. However, price does sell and from what I can tell GM is currently offering $7,445 in credits, and at $28,000 it becomes very compelling indeed.
