your getting great fuel mileage, the ecotech engine is a good one, change the tranny fluid over to the new dextron V or another quality synthetic fluid.

i bought my work truck with 78,000 miles on it last year, on May 1st, put 20,000 miles on it and its not skipped a beat.
Another argument in favor of keeping the Malibu is that those miles sound like "highway miles", which are easier on the drivetrain. Maybe joesgot4 needs to find a second forum devoted to his Chevy Malibu. That way, he could pre-empt known problems with his car.
