4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 If you maintain 65mph on the highway this car will do an honest 30mpg. Amazing. see full Chevrolet Malibu review

4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I get 31.8 mpg on the highway, 28 in town. see full Chevrolet Malibu review
2004 4dr Hatch 200-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Amazing fuel economy for a mid-sized peppy V6 engine. Good compromise of more than adequate power and well-above average fuel economy. Reviewers have noted the tranny is tweaked to favour fuel economy over towing ability -- perfect for most drivers. see full Chevrolet Malibu review

2004 4dr Hatch 200-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Less than manufacturers claim see full Chevrolet Malibu review
