My step daughter has an 09 Accord sedan and I agree the Malibu is much quieter than it. The Accord seems much larger though and is why my step daughter picked it.
Let us know how you like your Eco Tradosaurus and please post some pics.
The accord is much larger and now gets upper 30s mpg. But you will pay $5000 more than the malibu. Of course it doesn't hurt that the new malibu reminds me of the 2010 camaro I use to own.
I see a few of you are considering some newer vehicles (2013 Malibus, new Camaros, etc) and just wanted to say that we're available to help with any questions you may have!
Happy hunting,
