2017 Chevrolet Malibu Available Features: Cons
Year	Comment
	You can get nearly all of the features available on competitors on the Malibu. But you cannot get all-wheel-drive (offered on the Ford Fusion, Chrysler 200, and Subaru Legacy) or a sport model (offered by most competitors). Don't want AWD or a sport model? Then ignore this "why not to buy." With this, I'm out of even somewhat strong cons. see full Chevrolet Malibu review

2017 Chevrolet Malibu Available Features: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2016	4dr Sedan turbocharged 163hp 1.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I can't believe I didn't get a heated steering wheel when I chose the True North package - leather and sunroof. What the... I also wanted the 2.0lt engine initially. But it is only available on the Premier trim in Canada. Which was ~ $3000 more. Should be a choice for LT models, as it is in the USA. see full Chevrolet Malibu review
