The Chevy Malibu is a reliable family car. It is 4-door with exceptional leg room and overall adaptability. The silver color that I have resist dirt well. It pulls about 23mpg, Performing better on the top half of the tank. Mechanically the only issue I have run into is that after the 5 year mark the fuel sending sensor starts to fail, making the fuel gauge less accurate. The Vehicle was bought new for an exceptionally good deal (with a trade in). I would readily recommend the Malibu to friends or family.
