I recommend this car for the high quality of the ride and how extremely quiet the vehicle is, especially at highway speeds which makes listening to the radio much more pleasurable as well as making hands free phone calls with the Malibu's Bluetooth system very clear. You can even have down to 39 MPG on a long highway trip! Very comfortable seats: both front and back. You will love this car. Overall I would say the 2013 Malibu in regards to overall quality of design and materials, comfort, features, performance and fuel economy is ABSOLUTELY one of the best values on the road. I could say it feels like it rides like a Cadillac, VERY solid. Its sporty, comfortable and is just all around awesome! Very comfortable ride. Very comfortable to drive. Handles well. It is a smooth and comfortable ride as well as very quiet. You will find the touch screen technology for managing radio, and hands free phone/blue tooth to be very helpful and be very pleased with the leg room in the back seat in comparison to other cars. Excellent car and value for the price.
