2016 Chevrolet Malibu: The Right Way to Reinvent the Wheel

Having accepted the criticisms of its previous Malibu models, Chevy recast its mold and designed what may be the year’s most-improved car. The newly upgraded 2016 Chevrolet Malibu boasts a leaner and longer frame, lighter 1.5L four-cylinder engine, and modern interior that out-duels its midsize competitors—all while proving that new cars are more than affordable. As the premier new and used car dealer in Clearwater, we at Dimmitt Chevrolet are proud to have the newest Malibu in stock and revving to go.


Passenger-Friendly Comforts Abound

What sets apart the 2016 Malibu from its predecessors is its interior, especially the superb spaciousness. Despite only modest changes made to its previous models’ length—only 2.3” length added overall—the newest 2016 Malibu feels much roomier. Chevy added more than an inch of leg room in the rear, and lowered the newly lengthened front seats and patterned dash to increase headroom throughout the cabin. Amazingly, these fairly minor alterations seem to be transformative, as the car feels better suited to the category of “full-size sedan” rather than its current “midsize” class.

Dimmitt Chevrolet Earns One of Tampa Bay’s Best Places to Work Awards for Second Year

CLEARWATER, Fla. – For the second consecutive year Dimmitt Chevrolet was named one of Tampa Bay’s top 100 places to work by the Tampa Bay Times. 

This year Dimmitt Chevrolet earned fifth place among area small businesses according to the Tampa Bay Times. 

Dimmitt Chevrolet and the other 99 honorees were selected by a survey of over 30,000 employees in the Tampa Bay area. The 92-year-old dealership has been a staple in the Tampa Bay community for nearly a century and employs 120 people.

“Being named two years in a row as one of the best employers in Tampa Bay is an honor, one that we are thrilled to receive,” said Scott Collore, general manager of Dimmitt Chevrolet. “It is really a testament to our continued commitment of excellence to our employees, customers and community.” 

The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including alignment, execution, and connection.

The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits.” said Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees.”

Job seekers interested in joining the Dimmitt Chevrolet family are encouraged to stop by the dealership to fill out an application.
