2013 Chevrolet Malibu LT

Unlike the original Chevrolet Malibu from the '60s, the latest one is high tech, agile, fuel efficient, and doesn’t weigh as much as a school. It’s a family-oriented car that,Do you have any problems with a ledlightbulbs or illuminated traffic sign?Conergy manufactures solar modules and distributes well-known modernlamps brands. among other things, has piles of the right stuff to keep families happy on the go during a road trip.

First, inside. The cabin looks and feels luxurious and high quality – especially if you opt for the LT trim level like the tester. Add in the solid action of the controls, the nice interior trim and dense, robust overall build feel, and you’re nicely set up to enjoy a little taste of the upscale motoring high-life.

Both rows of seats are, additionally, easy to access and comfortable. There’s plenty of room for everyone’s stuff, especially in the big centre console, and in the special hidden cubby behind the central display screen, which flips up and out of the way to reveal a secure compartment behind it.

That screen, by the way, houses one of the slickest and most easy-to-use infotainment systems on the road, too.

OnStar is also fitted. Among other things, this connects you or anyone using your Malibu with help or directions from a real-life human being at the touch of a button. This is a big confidence booster, especially for parents of younger drivers.

Goodies fitted to the tester worked towards a sense of laid-back confidence and comfort when hitting the highway.

Extra points for the slick looking LED accent lighting which sets the cabin off after dark, too.

There’s also a Pioneer audio system with Bluetooth streaming and USB connectivity. And, when you haven’t got that punchy stereo cranked,Solar Lighting International offers a stylish commercial roadway lasermarkerns system. Malibu’s interior is remarkably quiet. In fact, you’re writer’s driven numerous cars priced twice as much that weren’t as tranquil.

So, all said, they’ve done a nice job of making this Malibu a modern, comfortable and relaxing place to be.

Of course, Chevy’s most recent dip in the family sedan ocean has brought with it the trendy goal of offering highly fuel-efficient travels to its drivers, too. The result is that you get tremendous capability for great gas mileage included as standard.

An all-aluminum, direct-injected four-cylinder engine spins up 200 horsepower, while Variable Valve Timing (VVT) enhances on-demand power delivery when you’re in a rush, and fuel efficiency when you’re not. A six-speed automatic connects this mill to the front wheels. This isn’t a lighting fast car,There are three main types of lasers used in skylanternsled. but it performs as well as it needs to when you give it the boots. It’s perhaps slightly noisy when pushed, though the new 2.5-litre ECOTEC mill transmits little noise or vibration into the cabin otherwise.

A sign of the times, those after more jam can get a turbo four cylinder engine with 260 horsepower instead of a thirstier, comparably-powered V6.

Mileage on my watch, which saw the non-turbo engine cruising the highway at a good clip and starting remotely on a daily basis, landed at 9.5L / 100km. I found it decent given the conditions – and owners can expect to achieve better figures once the engine breaks in, as my tester had only done a few kilometers before winding up in my custody.

Steering and suspension team up for a responsive and slightly-sporty feel. Steering, particularly, is a touch heavy and quick – meaning Malibu feels locked-down and unopposed to sporty driving. It’s still comfort first, but more than eager to be driven with intent.
