I love driving my 16 malibu. Bought it brand new because my XJ broke down and I wanted something reliable in case the Jeep broke. We hardly ever drive it now because the Jeep hasn't broke since then. The wife and I will take it out for dates when we get a little fancy since it was the loaded model 1LT, leather and all that.
But I like the assists. For long drives it helps with fatigue and it is super quiet and comfortable, and the android auto with the big touch screen can not be beat.
