The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu is the best car for you if you’re a midsize-sedan shopper inclined to buy American and disinclined to compromise on styling or spaciousness.

The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu returns little changed from the 2010 Malibu except for Chevy’s wise decision to drop an antiquated four-speed automatic as the car’s entry-level transmission. Every 2011 Chevrolet Malibu comes standard with the superior six-speed automatic gearbox. Malibu’s next major engineering and appearance changes are likely for model-year 2013.

Part of the 2011 Malibu’s character derives from a long wheelbase and short sheetmetal overhangs. The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu returns with a four-level lineup that consists of the entry-level LS model, volume-selling 1LT and 2LT models, and the top-of-the-line LTZ model.

 Mechanical: The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu again offers a choice of two engines. Again optional only on the Malibu 2LT and LTZ models is a 3.5-liter V-6 rated at 252 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque.

A smooth-shifting six-speed automatic is the only transmission for the 2011 Malibu; last year’s LS model came with a four-speed automatic. Every 2011 Chevy Malibu comes with four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock control to fight lock-ups in emergency stops. With the weight of its engine and transmission over the driving wheels, this front-wheel-drive sedan has good traction in snow. Malibu regains points with fine bump absorption and a notably quiet bearing.

 The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu’s list of comfort, communications, and convenience features remains competitive, though other midsize cars are outpacing this Chevy in terms of gadgetry. For example, the 2011 Malibu offers neither an on-board navigation system nor a rear backup camera, which are two items that are fast becoming family-car fundamentals.

On the upside, even the least-expensive 2011 Malibu comes standard with a tilt/telescope steering wheel, a driver’s seat with power height and lumbar adjustments, remote keyless entry, and power windows, locks, and mirrors. Depending on model, Malibu is available with remote engine start, power adjustable pedals, a power rear sunshade, and leather upholstery. Standard safety features for the 2011 Malibu include torso-protecting front side airbags and head-protecting curtain side airbags for both seating rows.

Other added features include rear seat DVD entertainment system, Bluetooth phone connectivity, power rear sunshade, remote engine start, leather upholstery. Safety amenities include antiskid system which comes with a standard traction control system, 4 wheel ABS, front and rear head airbags.
