Review
A big suprise! Why? Because this car has more interior volume and better visibilty than the redesigned 2008 model. The front roof pillars in the 2008 block the driver's view. You also lose head and shoulder room in the new model. Lastly check out highway mpg, 32 in Classic, 30 in new model.
Favorite Features
Interior room. More than bigger cars like the Impala and Ford 500. Visibilty is excellent. Solid handling. Car has 4 wheel independent suspension, unlike new Mustang and Scion XB which have don't.
Suggested Improvements
In 2008, Styling is King. Alast this car is Plain Jane' Boring exterior styling and gets lost in a parking lot. But if their past such things, this car is a winner.

Review
I bought the car new and have put 10000 miles on it in a month. i live in Houston Texas and have not had any problems on the freeways. With ethanol blend gas I have got up to 38 mile to the gallon. The only thing I have had a problem with is the tire pressure sensor failing in one tire and having to go to the dealer for repair. The car has excellent visability and is very comfortable. I have spinal cord damage from a previous wreck and can drive for several hours with no discomfort thanks to the lumbar support and height adjustable driverseat. I was driving Toyota cars and since getting the Malibu i wont go back. I wish I had waited to get the new body type but I am very pleased so far.
Favorite Features
Seating and dash layout.
Suggested Improvements
An ash tray. A 5 speed standard would have been nice, although you can shift like a standard using the shift selector
