Hello everyone, my gf last week purchased a 2010 Black LTZ. Technically its not my car but we always drive her car when we go places and I picked it out for her so in my head its my car too :) She took the 6cyl so I'm very happy about that since her last car was a pontiac vibe and it was gutless to say the least. The dealer gave her $1500 extra for trading in her Pontiac and staying with GM, some incentive program. She also got $4000 CND off employee pricing so the deal was too good to turn down. I'm pretty sure she has all options on the car. Were thinking of adding the splash guards for the winter and with preventing stone chips. We would have preferred the color White but where I'm from (Ottawa Valley) there were very limited amount of 2010 LTZ's available so we had to take Black which don't get me wrong is fantastic looking but I'm a bit of a clean freak with my cars and know all about maintaining a black vehicle. My car is an 06' Monte Carlo SS.
I plan on taking some pictures of the car this weekend, maybe I can post next week.

Anyways, my overall impression is very good about this car, here's my pros and cons.

Pros:
- exterior design
- quiet ride
- powerful engine
- price
- fuel economy
- bose stereo

Cons:
- missing rear seat arm rest
- no dual climate control (really surprised about this)
- manual shifting on steering wheel not on gear shift
- hard interior plastic
- no back up camera

You'll get used to the paddles... though from what I've heard most folks don't even use them, they are a bit on the laggy side when it comes to shifting.

Hope you enjoy the ride.

Congrats on "your" new Malibu, great choice on the trim. Don't forget to get us some pics.

Welcome to the forum.

Here it is, windows to be tinted in the coming weeks. The other addition I was thinking is the splash guards. Does anyone have any pics of what it looks like with the factory molded splash guards ?
