About Used Chevy Malibu Cars in Utah

The Chevrolet Malibu is a comfortable, quiet, practical, and affordable mid sized sedan. This used car has room for five passengers and is in the same ranks as the Ford Taurus, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. And, though it is not the best selling sedan, it certainly holds its place in the standings. The Malibu has a fuel economy of 29 mpg on the highway, and 20 mpg in the City. A V6, 3.1 liter engine will be found on all Malibu's. The 2001 model got an updated look, with black molded outside mirrors, black rocker moldings and black mudguards (on some vehicles). 2001 also introduced some new colors: maroon metallic, galaxy silver metallic and light driftwood metallic. The Malibu was made in two trim lines, the base and the LS. The base model comes with a suitable amount of equipment features: air conditioning, anti-lock brakes, 4-speed automatic transmission, rear-seat child security locks, battery rundown protection, AM/FM stereo, tilt steering column and tachometer. Power door locks and electric rear defogger. The LS is improved with its interior: power windows with driver's side Express-Down feature, dual remote electric outside rear view mirrors, cruise control, 6-way power driver's seat, remote keyless entry, and custom cloth bucket seats. This is some decent equipment for a used car from 2001. The Malibu's ignition switch is located on the instrument panel; it's plainly visible and reachable, instead of being hidden at the base of the steering wheel as it is on most cars. Another plus is rotating air vents at the base of the A-pillars that can be swiveled outward to defrost the side window, allowing maximum visibility of the outside mirrors. The head room and leg room in the Malibu are vast, and will work with any size driver. The stereo system is higher on the dash than on many cars, making it more easily operable. The improvements continue: separate steel subframes for the front and rear ends protect the cabin and its inhabitants from engine vibration and from harsh bumps, and noise levels were reduced with recessed door handles, and a special windshield seal. The suspension was also changed for the 2001 model year. The Malibu handles much better and can deal with crisp turns, including tight corners and quick lane changes. This used car cruises on the highway and maneuvers swiftly through city streets. The Chevrolet Malibu was originally launched to compete with the mid-size imports from Japan.
