5 great deals on U.S. wheels
When you hear 'Detroit,' you may think bust and bailout. But look past the headlines to find nice prices on sharp cars.
Chevrolet Malibu
Market price: $20,417-$25,402
Cost of ownership:
Miles per gallon: 22 city 30 hwy.
Remember the last Chevy you drove, maybe when you picked it up as a rental at the airport? This year's Malibu isn't like that one. As in: a nice interior (aside from a few cheapy pieces); a quiet, luxury-like ride; and decent handling. If you get the four-cylinder version with the six-speed transmission, you'll also enjoy even better fuel economy.
NEXT: Ford Mustang GT
