The LT is actually the second highest trim. The RS and LS and L are all below this. Only the Premier is higher. The LT does come with leather if you want it, but when you do your forced to get the driver safety package which has all the modern safety features you can expect.
Ya, Kia and Hyundai do a good job of keeping their cars fresh and feature packed. I assume the Malibu has a high MSRP that you can haggle down pretty easily.
Not sure what Chevy is thinking, but it’s like 3-4K overpriced. Panoramic roof is on point tho. Some brands are also doing away with navigation...every smartphone has google maps.
$19,000 is really steep! The used car market is terrible right now. I have been looking for a car and everything is high. I would give $16,000 for the 2021 with 61,000 miles. Chevy does not have the best reliability in my opinion.
