Stick with the malibu.
You get pretty good gas mileage so changing vehicles won't get you phenomenally better mileage(unless you get a civic 2dr(it seats 4 just fine unless its more than an hour(I'm 5'8"))).
The cost of a new vehicle(even used) would unlikely be offset by even your high mileage. Unless your girl is showing signs of major repairs(that you can't prevent) I'd stick with it until it kicks the bucket.
Any opinion coming from me is going to be biased towards Honda so take that for what its worth. I'd get a civic 2dr manual in 08 09 if you HAVE to upgrade or a Honda Fit. Fit's going to give the passengers in the back more space at slightly lower rated FE. People here get your mpg in the Fit/Jazz/City
