What mid size car should I get, a 2008 Chevy Malibu, 2007 Nissan Altima, or 2007 Mistubishi Galant?

This will be the first car that I buy in my name.  I have had a 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage since 1999, and my transmission went out this Thanksgiving.  I have totally disrespected my car by not getting scheduled maintenance (oil changes, tune ups, etc.) when I was supposed to.  I had no problems with this car before now and my car had over 236k miles on it, which makes me want to get another Mitsubishi, but these other cars are really sparking my interest.  Also considering a 2007 Jetta.

I think you should go with either the Malibu or the Altima. I would lean more towards the Malibu.

me personally i dont like Chevy so i would say the altima because i heard nissan is a good brand

Malibu. It's amazing what GM has finally done with their midsize cars.

I want to say the Malibu, because it's the most American car, but I'm not really sure how much of it is made here.

Whatever car you get make sure it's as much as possible American made. By buying American your helping someone keep their job, and by doing that, your helping him, help you keep your job.

I'd go with the Malibu. It's hard to believe that it's a Chevy. Mitsubishi's aren't bad but they are overpriced. Jetta's are ok if you get a good one...if you don't you'll be spending a lot of time in the shop. I don't really like the 4 door Altima...the coupes are nice looking though.

Until now, I would have said, the Altima. However the 2008 Malibu looks like a force to be reconed with!  Check it out.

The 2008 Malibu offers more standard features than the other 2 (like side curtain airbags, Onstar to name a few) and comes standard with an automatic.



Plus. it's an amazingly quiet car and rides like a dream.  The entry level LS is priced at $19,995 and goes all the way to over $28,000 for the V6 252 HP. six speed with optional sunroof.



Plus, it has the best warranty with a TRANSFERABLE 5 year/100,000 power train warranty which includes roadside assistance.

I've had my old Nissan Altima for about 8 years and never had major problems with them.

Well, you really lived a full life with your Mitsubishi. Though some are good, I would not get another. They are thinking of leaving the US if sales don't pick making parts limited. The altima is a good car, but don't have a good interior. I would recommend the Malibu because they are great cars and earned a top place on the Best 10 List for 2008.

The 2008 Malibu... I've read everything there is to read on this car, followed its development since conception, and seen it at the dealership. It's a great car.
