2006 GMC Envoy SLT vs. 2008 Chevrolet Malibu LT?
I have narrowed it down to what I think would be 2 great buys. I need a newer vehicle than the 2001 I have now. Which one of these 2 can provide me with the best reliability when traveling 20 miles plus, in snow. SUV's I know are great, but considering gas prices lately that can be tricky. I know the Malibu does have traction control, but does...

I'd go for the Malibu (I'm assuming it's the current gen, not the classic that was also sold in 2008). The Envoy represents "old" GM in that it was adequate but usually middle of the pack vs the competition. The 08 Malibu represents "new" GM in that it's more...

This is the dealers way of showing how little they care about you buying a 2008 Malibu.Being a new car prep mechanic for one of the largest Chevy dealers this does not surprise me.A lot of the Chevy dealers out there have people that know nothing about new car and trucks trying to do the PDI...

I have a 2008 Chevy Malibu and Ive had nothing but problems out of it do anyone know of any known recalls?
Ive had problems with my brake lights coming on and staying on when i drive and that started after 1 yr of having the car. I took it in for repair three times and they finally replaced some sort of computer after my warranty was expired, but its doing the same thing again now and that didn't last for a whole year. My locks don't work when i try to...

2008 Ford Fusion or 2008 Chevy Malibu?
I went to the dealership to negotiate prices on both of these cars. Both cars that I test drove were 4 door 4-Cylinders. They both basically had the same features. Below are the prices I was quoted. Fusion = $15,000 Malibu = $18,000 Price is a factor, so I wanted to see what people thought of both of the prices I was offered. Are they too high?...

The Malibu is getting better reviews, but the Fusion is a decent car and 3K is a lot of money if the options are the same. Sounds like you negotiated good prices on both, but I'd probably buy the Ford at that price.

Other Choices

More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

All these mid-size sedan models are priced very closely to each other, so that shouldn't be a factor.

These five sedans all have a very different feel and different styling, though.

The Fusion has by far the boldest, most aggressive styling, while the Accord arguably looks the most elegant.

The Sonata is more comfort-oriented, but its interior isn't quite up to the standards of the Malibu or Accord, and it's not as quiet inside.

The Fusion and the Altima are more fun to drive than the Malibu, but neither of them is as roomy and comfortable inside.

Backseat room is another big differentiator; the Malibu and Camry both have very roomy backseats, as does the Accord, but the Altima's is especially tight.

And the Malibu's interior puts Toyota to shame; its attractive interior is well styled and has better-looking and better-feeling materials than much of the class.
