I don’t really care as I will be not be driving it around at all, but man, it was such a boring drive home. The interior is awful and the engine literally sounds like there’s a grinding sound.

Yeah Malibus are pretty awful. I don't mind the Impala as it is a big and solid vehicle but it is really dull. My favorite rentals for sedans are the Fusion (which is what I have this time - Fusion Titanium Hybrid) and the new Camry. Up until this recent refresh that Toyota did to the Camry and Corolla they were two of the cars that I hated most but they are surprisingly good now.
