The Malibu is a good car. I have been enjoying the use of this vehicle and seeing all of the features it provides. But what I want to point out is how Chevy thinks of the small things. And those small things add up to make a great, unique, vehicle.

I love music. I always have my music playing. I have been known to sit in my car waiting for a song to end before getting out. Well, Chevy has thought of that. I can turn off the car and take the keys out of the ignition and the music will continue to play. And when I am ready, all I have to do is open my door and off it goes. Simple little feature, but really important to me.

But, Chevy went one step further. I am blessed to have a husband who always puts the gas in my vehicle. I very rarely ever have to do it. And when we are out and about and stop at the gas station, I turn off the vehicle, remove my keys (just like the signs say to do) and then my husband gets out and pumps the gas. Usually I have to sit there in silence till he gets back in. But not in the Malibu. I can turn the vehicle off, remove the keys and any passenger can get out of the vehicle and the music will continue to play, just as long as I do not open my door. I love this. I get to still listen to my music while my husband gets out and pumps the gas.

Just one of the small things Chevy has thought of.

I have 3 daughters who are all still in some for of a car seat. Two are in high back boosters and one is in a 5 point harness. A very large 5 point harness. So trying to fit these car seats into a vehicle can be a challenge. I currently drive a vehicle with 3 rows just to be able to fit all these car seats. So when I was told I would be driving a Malibu, my first concern was how I was going to fit all three car seats in this vehicle.

So when I got the Malibu home and started working on the car seats I was surprised to find that all three fit without issue. We have the 5 point harness and two high back boosters in the back row. All three girls can get in their seats by themselves. The 5 point harness is easy to buckle and my oldest can buckle herself in easily. My middle daughter does have a little issue getting buckled. She just does not have the fine motor skills for this. But I can easily just reach in and get her buckled.

So I give the Malibu a thumbs up for the family with 3 car seats. A Chevy Malibu is definitely able to accommodate the bigger families. Especially when you take into consideration all the trunk space.
