Chevy Cruze and Chevy Malibu
they both have 0 due at signing, the Cruze will be 212 bucks a month and the Malibu would be 249 bucks a month. both on 36 month leases with 1,000 miles a month

which of these two do you think would handle winter roads better? I'm thinking the Malibu would... I ask because I live in a state that gets a good 4-5 months of winter a year

Cruze gets great mileage, but the Malibu is definitely the better riding of the two. Depends on package. My girlfriend drives the Malibu lt and it's nice, but I wouldn't go with a lower option package ever. Cruze is something I would only buy for gas mileage. Nice car, but the ride quality isn't a match.

Edit : neither do bad, or great, in the winter. I live in Ohio and work for a Chevy dealership. Both will get you where you need to go

I agree though i can't comment on winter driving. I'm an average size guy and i fit in the cruze well, but a malibu would be more comfortable. The cruze has a lot of space for a compact car and the turbo 1.4/auto drives like a 3L V6. My wife averaged 30mpg out of hers before i started tuning it. It's around 32mpg avg now. She is the typical get in and drive type with no concern for driving economically.
