After my trusty '98 Oldsmobile Intrigue finally gave out, I needed to find something else. I bought a used 2011 Malibu from a Chevy dealership a couple years ago. I liked the car initially, because it seemed like a good "family starter" vehicle. It wasn't the best looking car in my eyes, but all I really wanted was something to get me A to B safely.. While I currently get apx. 28 - 30 MPG on the highway, for some reason I only get about 10 - 15 MPG in town. I don't spend a lot of time in traffic and don't lay on the gas, so performance in that aspect is a bit disappointing. Aside from that, the car has been pretty reliable and accomplishes my basic needs. It's comfortable, and there's enough leg space for everyone I've had in the car.. The car drives smooth and overall, I'm happy with my purchase. It's definitely mediocre in comparison to my other, cars but it's fine.. In my opinion, it's very vanilla. It gets the job done but doesn't wow you with any features. If you want something fairly simple, I'd recommend it.
