| Likes: | Benchmark. State of the art, 3.5-liter, 268 hp VTEC V6 is fast enough, 5-speed auto smooth. Handling, brakes and steering intuitively capable, tires big enough to protect rims from curbs. Superb finish inside and out, plenty of room, smart instrument layout, heated seats, decent navigation, XM radio. Almost 30 mpg on the highway and will last 200,000 miles. |
| Gripes: | Unlocking doors with separate remote press to let passengers out. (Second that—ED.) |
| Verdict: | Supremely capable; the car the Chevy Malibu desperately wants to be. As good as my 1955 Buick Century, compared to everything else at the time. |
