I liked the way the car handled overall, however there were a few re-occurring problems that were agitating. As with most Chevy's the engine had a tendency to run hot after a few years. Also, I replaced a pass lock switch 2 times in the span of a year.

I have logged over 100k miles in my Chevy Malibu, and it has served me well over the past ten years. The interior is nice, seats are comfortable, and it still runs pretty well. Feels like you are in complete control when driving the car. I have had several issues over the years regarding several spark plugs needing to be changed, etc., but I drive this car a lot, logging 100k+ miles in 8-9 years. The gas mileage has severely degraded in my 7th or 8th year of owning my car. I would say driving 20-40 miles takes up a quarter tank of gas.
