every time i see a chevy malibu i think it's a great looking car, maybe one of the nicest fwd designs i've seen.

 

Yea the Malibu is actually pretty nice cruiser sedan.

 

Actually, bit, it's the reverse. CR does not print what their subscribers want to hear.....they send out yearly questionnaires on the reliability of their subscriber's vehicles (I've gotten them myself), and the subscribers give CR the reliability information that is printed.

Of course, what is "reliable' and "unreliable" is often a subjective rather than objective matter. CR asks subscribers to only list what they consider serious problems...but some people list things as serious problems even if they are, in fact, very minor...and vice-versa.

I will go into some of those, for example, in my upcoming two-year Encore GX Ownership update.

 

not bad looking . But mediocre. Corolla has more HP even without a turbo.
