Malibu works well and has been driving close to 100,000 miles with few problems at all. Car is comfortable to ride and quiet. The Malibu has decent gas mileage (31-33) overall. Interior looks nice and center console is easy to reach. No issues with any electronic components of the car. I have taken this car across the country and, even though the trunk opening is small, I have fit most of my belongings in it since the interior is rather spacious.
