2005	4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great gas mileage for a mid-size. You can apply the money you save on gas to pay for the transmission rebuild. see full Chevrolet Malibu review
2005	4dr Hatch 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 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
2004	4dr Hatch 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 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
