Review of 2012 Chevy Malibu

So I got my rental car today from Enterprise and wow, almost fell asleep driving not just because of its Auto trans but because of the snoring engine.
I may have to switch to "manual" mode just to get the engine to roar around 5k?
I'll check it out later I guess but its like gggghhhhhh lightly to the point where it sounds like someone is snoring - literally.

Seats - god I cannot find a good comfortable sitting position/angle.

Room - plenty of room after all I'm coming from the FR-S

Speed - enough to pull from a green light I guess

Body Roll - not as much as I expected but these leather seats I just slide around all day.

Suspension - I feel like I'm in a bounce house ~

Steering - wheel is humongous! Why, doing a U turn makes me uncomfortable because I'm swinging my arms like a monkey doing I think it was 720 degrees or more!

Conclusion - now I got another reason to not drive a Chevy.
