2009 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Had the best combination of features that were standard and packages for the money. Hands down winner on overall value compared to Honda, Mazda, Toyota and Ford. see full Chevrolet Malibu review
2008 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
I have the Electronic Traction Control and ABS. It is almost impossible to go into a skid with this baby. Best feature of the car for me by far. Chevy engineers hit a homer with this. This care really gets it done on snow and ice. see full Chevrolet Malibu review

2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
You need to upgrade to a Limited to see any decent features - and not worth the added price. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
Minor quibbles, lacking auto-headlights. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2007 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
It should have a standard MPG indicator/Compass/fuel used indicator. Also needs more and better storage - a column shift and foot-operated emergency brake would free up space for that. The front passenger seat should fold down for increased cargo acpacity see full Toyota RAV4 review
