When have you seen a car with rear seats that both recline and adjust back & forth?!! On top of that, they people in the back get a glass roof! see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

Outstanding - seat is adjustable fore and aft, had recline feature, each side folds flat to increase storage space. Glass panels in the roof add to the feeling of spaciousness. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

Rear seat legroom beyond anything you would expect in a midsize sedan/hatch/wagon. Plus, the seats slide up to 7" to maximize either rear seat legroom or cargo capability. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |
