I had a 2010 Malibu v6 and now have the 2016 limited cruze. Fuel economy is better with the cruze. If I remember correctly, I got 28-30 hwy with the Malibu, and am getting about 35 hwy with the cruze. Live in western Washington with hills and mountain passes for road trips.
Never had a problem with my Malibu while I owned it. Performance wise, they're actually pretty close with a cold air intake in the cruze.
