Chevrolet Malibu
Mid-size sedans with a four-cylinder engine are more and more popular, and the Chevrolet Malibu possesses an excellent 2.4-litre engine under its hood. This year, there’s a factory standard six-speed automatic transmission with wheel-mounted shifters. It’s a very pleasant sedan to drive that can confidently take on the big guns in this very hot segment. It’s a generous five-seater that pampers its passengers.
