As gas prices continue to escalate out of control, I'm seriously considering the 2.4L - maybe the LTZ model. MY 1999 Grand Am had a 3.4L V-6, but only generated 170 HP. And it was very fast (probably why it only got 24 MPG). I live in a pretty flat area where I'm not going to be tackling mountains. And 90% of the time I drive by myself. My co-worker says her 2.4L MAlibu is plenty fast as she has already been pulled over by the cops doing 79 MPH in a 65 zone.
I do drive a lot of freeways where I need to accelerate into traffic. And I would like to take a summer trip with the family. I wonder if the 6-speed transmission in the LTZ would help in this regard? Will the 4 cyl. LTZ have the paddle shifters?
