2008 Chevrolet Malibu SL1

Local Trade, 2.4L Engine, CD Radio, Power Sunroof, Power Seat, Keyless Entry! Chevy is no doubt going to win over daily commuters with the Malibu. Chevy has tuned the Malibu to ride smoothly over rough surfaces and glide over smooth ones. What's more, the car still manages to give enough feedback to the driver to feel like a sports sedan. That's a tough combination to find in this segment. The four-cylinder offers decent mileage — 22/30 mpg city/highway — that's just one mpg lower than the Accord and Camry. The fact that its price is also lower than foreign competitors' when similarly equipped will definitely help draw in customers. Chevrolet has added the types of comfort features midsize-sedan buyers want. A trip computer is standard in all models, as is a CD stereo. The rear seats fold down easily, which expands the cargo area. The backs of the rear seats are finished in hard plastic to make it easier to slide large, bulky objects into the trunk. There are plenty of cupholders, with two in the center console and one in each door. The Malibu comes with six standard airbags, including front-seat side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags for both rows. Traction control and antilock brakes are standard throughout the lineup., , , ,
