This one, to be exact:
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I’m not sure how long that link will be up since he bought the car today.
I went for a ride and took it for a drive this evening and I was impressed. Compared to the laughable monstrosity that was our 2006 Malibu, this thing is a whole other ball game. Very quiet, comfy, smooth, and pretty powerful considering it is the four-cylinder. It has the auto stop feature, but I couldn’t get it to to do it the whole time I was driving it.
It is a former lease car, but whoever had it before plasti-dipped the Chevy bowties black.
Crappy dealer photos below since I couldn’t get any pictures tonight (it’s dark and misty/rainy).

These things really aren’t as bad as reviewers said they were. The back seat is a little cramped and it isn’t exactly your 6 in the dynamics department, but they’re good little commuters.

It’s a ... car. You can go places. It might even have a warranty!

He bought it primarily for long distance driving so that’ll come in handy! Ha.

Exactly. His fiancé has a job as a teacher and lives about an hour-and-a-half away, so this will save gas and be more comfortable for him on that drive.

The only thing I would say to some one who just bought a Malibu is. “ Why didn’t you buy a Camry? “

If I had a 6 or 7 hour drive ahead of me, that Malibu would be something I’d rent with no second thoughts.

Because used Camrys are laughably overpriced.

Very true. Even in poor condition with absurdly high miles, people around here tend to ask way too much of them. Maybe it’s state pride since they’re built here in Kentucky.
