On a road trip out to Los Angeles from Central Pennsylvania, my Volvo died somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Utah. Left with very few options, I ended up having to junk the car and find a way to get a fairly cheap used car to replace the Volvo. After browsing a few cars, I ended up with the Chevy Malibu. At first it was fairly acceptable. However, I soon began to discover all the issues it had. The coolant light constantly turns on even after filling up the coolant, my brakes need to be replaced as soon as possible, and the power controls of the car will randomly stop working. If I had better options and more time to get a car, I definitely would not have selected this one. However, it was an emergency purchase and I didn't have much of a choice.

I've owned quite a few cars and by far this is the best one. The ride is so smooth, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking to buy their "first car". :)
