Despite the maelstrom swirling around the company, General Motors is producing some of the best products in its history. You can point to products such as the Cadillac CTS or Chevrolet Corvette as prime examples, but the midsize Chevy Malibu probably best exemplifies how far GM has come in the past decade.

Malibu is roomy, comfortable, and comes with a variety of models, features, and powertrains to suit your specific taste. The standard 4-cylinder engine is incredibly smooth, while the available V6 is potent enough to be enjoyed by enthusiasts. Don’t forget the frugal Hybrid either--it’s as good as the conventional Malibu and in our testing, we averaged 31.3 mpg.
