2009 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Good mechanics - lousy comfort"
General comments?
Seats are the most uncomfortable that I have been in in 40 years of driving. My left hip and leg were cramped, and I could hardly get out of the car. This was a rental, and I would never buy one for this reason alone.
The dash reflected in the driver's area of the windshield, and the only way I could get rid of it was to wear sunglasses until sunset. Then at night the windshield is angled just enough to distort night vision. I have good eyesight.
The passenger seat was so low that my wife was barely looking over the dash. Her right leg and hip were cramped all the time.
