Pleasantly Surprised...

When I picked up the Malibu, I really didn't honestly think I'd like it.
I mean, I'm used to driving a BIG truck or a Suburban.
I am used to being the biggest thing on the road.
I felt safe in my big vehicle and didn't think a smaller car would make me feel secure.

What the Malibu lacks in size, it makes up for in agility!
No, I am not the biggest thing on the road....
I am not the immovable force that I feel like in the massive truck...
But Man oh Man can I zip and zag out of troubles way.

Driving through Down-town Houston today made me realize there are some things that are NOT better when bigger.
I could change lanes when I needed to without waiting forever for someone to bother to give me a huge spot.
When I reached my destination, I easily parked in a "standard" parking spot and didn't need to keep driving to find one large enough to accommodate a big truck.
I felt like the Malibu was more responsive than the big vehicles I am used to driving.
I am surprised!

I am also really enjoying the "perks" that come with the Malibu Diamond Edition"
Wanna know my one of my favorite perks?
Take a look!

I'm not saying the truck is no longer needed, I mean, we live on a farm.
And I wouldn't dare soil this pretty new car with bales of hay or 50lb bags of feed! (although the trunk COULD fit them both!)
All in all, I am loving this car!

More soon....
