I currently drive a Chevrolet Malibu with about 75,000 miles on it. This is honestly one of the most reliable cars I have driven (and I've had a lot of bad cars). It has great gas mileage. I have heard that when one part of this car goes, then everything else starts failing. That has not been the case for me. In fact, it has only required minor adjustments from time to time. This is particularly surprising because many of its miles are city miles. The car is very silent, has great get-up-and-go, and has very good alignment. It always passes my state inspection, and I don't have any concerns about that changing in the future. One comment I want to make about the exterior is that the car is a little wide, which can make parking somewhat difficulty at times. However, once you get used to the dimensions that's a moot point. The interior is comfortable, but it can take some adjusting to get the seats where they won't hurt my back. The A/C kicks in very quickly, and the heating is equally responsive. The interior is very spacious, and the sound system is great for me. I wish it had an aux cord, but I suppose this limitation is understandable considering it was made in 2005. Overall, a very wonderful car!
