2013 Chevrolet Malibu Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2012
On paper, the Malibu's rear seat is only a little tighter than those in the 2008-2012 sedan and in competing cars. In person, rear knee room would only be marginally competitive in the compact sedan segment. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, my shins graze the front seatbacks. GM is rushing some revised seats to market. But if past attempts to fix a cramped rear seat are any indication, this won't make a substantial difference. The rear seat in the Ford Fusion is roomier, if also short of the segment's quasi-limos.

Both front & rear compartments very roomy & comfortable. Again, this is noted improvement over our 2009 Malibu.

This is tight if front seats are postioned at or close to the back of their range; shorter wheelbase in this model compared to prior version. Rear seat access is excellent (i.e, for infant car seats, small item transport).

2dr Hardtop conv.
Ample leg room and headroom - up to about 6ft 5 is fine
I'm 6ft3 and with the roof off I don't get too ruffled unless I go over about 85 mph
Lots of other things to like (and the running costs arent too horrendous) but I'm limiting myself to my top three
