Rented a Malibu

We just got back from our annual trip to New Orleans, to visit family
and eat everything in sight....LOL

I rented an 09 Malibu and was impressed... Other than getting used to falling
in and out of the car, the performance (4 cyl) and gas mileage was impressive.

Interior instruments were very similar to the HHR, the ride was slightly better, and it handled well.

All in all a nice ride.....

Wife's Malibu

My wife has the 6cyl 2008 Malibu LTZ. It gets better gas mileage than my HHR. We take it on long trips because of comfort and economical factors. The only issue I have with it is being so low to the ground and having to pull myself out of the seat. Besides that the car is fantastic.
