well I just got back from a weeknd 1000 miles round trip to Tennesse, I have three things to say:

1. I was amazed by how well the 4 cylinder/4 sped did, no problem going up hills whatsoever, normally a car would reduce speed due the incline but not this malibu, I kept passing cars like nothing, the performance of my car was amazing over all, I got 28 mpg going 80-90 mph so I think that was great!

2. The only two complaints I have are: the seat belt got on my nerves since it's so thight, it kept pylling me towards the seat, so bad that my shoulder hurt the next day, It almost felt like I had a bruze. It was annoying!!

3. One weird thing that happened was that I had water sitting on the rear passanger side, a good amount too, at first I thought my wife had spilled it and was not big deal, but on our trip back there was the water again!! Anybody had this happen?

I'd be willing to bet that is an A/C leak. VERY common on these cars, they have to reroute one of the drains. It can make the passenger side carpet wet. Get it fixed before it starts to smell.
I figure it was something like that, where would I look for it? under the car??
It starts under the passenger dashboard. You can pop off the door sills and see if the insulation is wet. But if your back carpet is wet, it sounds to me like your leak is bad for it to get back there. I have read about that on here many times. I'd get it checked before it starts to get moldy. Assuming the window seal is good and there wasn't any rain.
