First, let me preface this by saying I'm a huge Chevy fan to begin with, so that greatly influence my car-buying decision. When I saw the Chevy Malibu with the shiny gold GM logo on both the driver & passenger side doors, I was hooked. I like the modern overall design of the vehicle, and how it drives/handles. The V6 is quite a step up from my old 4 cylinder Cavalier. The seats are adjustable in a few different ways, so it's fairly easy to get comfortable if you play around with the settings a bit. (Could be better, though.) The trunk is huge! My friends like to say you could put a few bodies back there, haha. From the position I keep my seat back from the dash based on my height, there is a bit of a blind spot where the panel for the driver's side door is. If I'm looking left to make sure it's safe to pass someone or change lanes, I have started to go and then realized traffic wasn't clear. The car has been very dependable in the 3 years I've owned it (purchased used, too). I've only had to perform minimal, basic repairs, and not very often. There are some noises that the mechanic said I'll just have to live with unless I want to spend a large amount of money getting it repaired, which I wasn't happy about. It's standard for these Chevy vehicles, I'm told, but won't hinder safety/performance. It's just annoying to listen to. The gas mileage is decent for a V6. I get around 25 MPG in the city.

Chevy are great car to start with. My Malibu was used but feel like it was new. With all the room you need to relax and enjoy the ride. In all type of weather at made me feel safe to be in. I have done couple of long trips in it and enjoy every mile as I drive down the road and highways. If you are looking in the a car look at the Malibu.
