Chevrolet Malibu

Chevy’s mid-size family may get an “A” for effort, but it’s still bringing up the rear against the competition. Exterior styling is crisp, but the interior is cramped. It has a solid structure but rather numb steering; its interior is quiet but uses too many contrasting materials. The Malibu offers two four-cylinder engines: the base 2.5-liter Eco or a 2.0-liter turbo. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard on both.
