2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu
Mid-size Sedan
A five-passenger sedan that combines good interior space with value pricing on the pre-owned market. When it was new, this came with a choice of engines that included a powerful V6, a fuel-efficient four-cylinder, and an ultra-efficient hybrid. This contributed to the Malibu receiving a recommendation from Consumer Reports.
