The 2010 Chevrolet Malibu vs. the 2010 Honda Accord LX

Living in Winnipeg is much easier if you have a good vehicle to get you around the city. Purchasing the best vehicle is easier said than done. The informed consumer is the consumer that gets the best deal on the best vehicle. It is helpful to compare similar vehicles and see which one offers more for the money. The Chevrolet Malibu and the Honda Accord LX are similar in body style and function. But the Malibu offers a few things that the Accord does not match.

Warranty is important when it comes to buying a car. The Chevrolet Malibu has a 60-month/160,000km powertrain warranty. The Honda Accord LX has only a 60-month/100,000km powertrain warranty. A lot can happen in 60,000km. The Malibu comes equipped with a regular battery with run-down protection. The Accord only has the regular battery. If you want that added protection during the cold Winnipeg winters, the run-down protection is the better choice. The Malibu is a four speed automatic while the Accord is a five speed manual transmission. This can go either way for buyers, depending on their preference.

Digging deeper, the Chevrolet Malibu has 17-inch steel tires and a 60-40 bench in the rear seat. The Honda Accord LX has 16-inch tires and a full bench in the back seat. The Malibu also comes with OnStar service for twelve months, whereas the Accord does not offer this as a standard feature. When it comes to space, the Malibu has more legroom and more luggage space than the Accord. This is important if you are traveling outside of Winnipeg and need some extra room for storage.
 
The Chevrolet Malibu comes with a standard theft deterrent system and extra interior features, including a trip computer and an outside temperature display. The Honda Accord LX does not have any of these features as a standard part of their package. Although the final decision belongs to the consumer, the Chevrolet Malibu sets itself apart from the Honda Accord LX in terms of standard features. If you are looking for a similar model to the Accord in the Winnipeg area, the Malibu may be exactly what you are looking for.
