I agree with them we have a '00 Malibu we use to run around in and go get parts in and things and it sure gets better mileage than the Blazer or pickup. Other than routine service and an alternator it has been worry free. My wife just went out and bought a '07 Pontiac G6 and I tell you I like the Malibu just as good as I do the G6 and the Malibu paid for. Sure I would put $800 bucks in it if I liked the car and didn't have the GREEN to spend on a new one or a used one that might need a lot more than $800 to fix.
