Default 2013 Malibu Eco

Just bought a 2013 Malibu Eco 1SA on Monday. I traded in a 2008 Honda Accord.

I test drove a 2013 Honda Accord before I drove the Malibu. The Honda Accord was nice but the road noise, although improved over the past generation, was still loud.

After driving the Malibu it seemed to me that the interior noise was quieter on the highway. For the options I got on the Malibu I would have paid about $5,000 more for the Honda Accord.

Time will tell if I made the right decision but usually my first instinct is the best.

Congrats on your purchase
Hopefully its something you won't have to do for a while, but when the time comes to have to purchase parts I think you will find that finding parts for your Chevrolet is much easier and often cheaper then for the Honda....
