awesome! good to hear

1) The 6 cylinder isn't a reliable as the 2.2l 4 cylinder. 2) The 6 cylinder will cost a bit more $$$.

I'm not paying $12k for a 4 cylinder vehicle that someone used to try to uproot small trees in their yard.

1 year old Sedans with 20-30kmiles? Sounds like former rental cars to me

I truly drive like an old lady. Durability and fuel economy are much more important to me than performance. If I can get the 2.2l in the Malibu and save $$$ and still end up with a reliable vehicle with a nice ride, I may very well go that route.

I've read several post stating they use PP because of the reduced cost. Where can I find a bargain on PP?

I was under the impression that the 2.2l changed significantly in the 04 model year.

I've read they want to make the 2.2l a hybrid in 08. The Malibu will be the Saturn Aura's twin.

Some of the reviews I read about the 2.2l are unbelievable. People are talking about approaching 40 mpg hwy, and many people reported real world mileage better than the EPA esimtates, which is very rare. If the 2.2l is adequate the 07 Malibu @ $17k is real competition for compacts, e.g...

Anyone have experience with this drivetrain? I've read some owner forums and it seems the 4 cylinder is ample in the Malibu and it deliver excellent mpg.

Yeah ... this is the first I'm hearing of GTX varnishing.

That's another question. Should you use the same oil? Or, should your engine see different additve (cleaning) packages?

You're a food mechanic?

I thought the GTX advantage would be a cleaner engine.

Castrol GTX or Motorcraft. Will be doing 3k oil changes because I only average 3k miles per 6 months.

lol! @ every response that included the Mexican built Sentra in the same sentence in terms of reliability as the Civic or Corolla.

I don't believe cruise is offered in the Fit or Yaris either ... makes me consider an 06 xA. BTW, the new Focus & Corolla is at least a year away.

I can't believe with all of the options offered on the upgrade package of the Accent SE you still can't get cruise control. I'm thinking of getting a small hatchback and Honda Fits and Toyota Yaris are almost impossible to find around here.

I've read Hyundai's quality has increased dramtically in the last few years and a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty seems unbeatable.
