  • With so many choices in the mid-size family sedan segment, Chevrolet offers up its redesigned Malibu for 2013. With an all 4-cylinder engine line-up, a redone interior, and updated styling, does it have what it takes to stand out in this crowded segment?

    I honestly think the 2013 Chevy Malibu looks great
    It's not supposed to be a JDM car or a Muscle car
    I had a chance to drive a friend's and it handled great , steering felt good and the car handled and kept up perfectly with traffic on the highway and it's a really comfortable car . I loved how quiet it is inside . I'm really considering buying a Malibu and getting rid of my ageing Ford Focus . I honestly think Chevy did a great job designing this car .

    I got a 2014 Malibu 2 LT. My biggest problem with it is not the car itself. I love that thing. I call her Whitney. I got during my last year in high school back in 2019. I put Camaro rims on it and when its not being messed up by Chevrolet, that thing is a smooth riding girl. She is quiet, smooth (surprisingly with 20 inch wheels), and surprisingly peppy to me. It's Chevrolet and their technicians that give me problems. Things that should be easy fixes turn into disasters that cost me more than it should. Luckily not all of their locations are bad and I recently switched to a more reliable dealer. They do take long as fuck but I'm satisfied when the job is done. I need that car to last because I got a long college life ahead of me. And mommy daddy grocery getters and stubby little crossovers of today are not cutting it.

    I have never been a Malibu fan although I like Chevy. This new design that they have come out with is a far cry from the older design. I like them if I went to buy this car it would just be my commuter car but I would get the LTZ trim. I'd drive this to work or grocery store. And then on the weekend Break out with my Cadillac or Jaguar.

      Companies tend to advertise their top trim models all the time, combined with the base model price though... so it is nice to see reviews on what you really get for the advertised price, as well as sometimes be able to compare different trims (which he reviewed on some cars)

    • @Dklew9418

    It's a dependable car that families can afford and drive for 6-8 year without much of an issue. I would rate the engine and drivetrain as far as dependability above most in this class.This is why families continue to buy a bland rental car in such high numbers.

    • @kurtwetzel154

      People buy this car because its cheaper then the competitor. These people don't care about the latest gadgets and technology in a vehicle. As long as the vehicle gets them from Point A to B and it reliable they are happy. These people aren't picky on their vehicle (to a slight degree) either. They would just rather save their money or spend their money on other things more important to them.

  • @boggy7665
    @boggy7665 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Every time I think I might want a GM car again (after witnessing parents' experiences with almost a dozen cars over decades of time) something happens. This time, it's 'BONG-BONG-BONG', and I really don't need to see the gauges sweep. There are the commercials snickering at bicyclists (Chevy), snotty entitled rich bashing the working class (Cadillac 'Volt'). Not to mention the fail in the products themselves, this example being lack of interior space, an unresponsive transmission, a horrible grating sound from the engine bay.

    Ever since the Malibu was introduced or I should say reintroduced in uhhhhh, 1997 I believe? (Who cares? No one remembers...) it has consistently been one of, if not always the least impressive midsize sedan on the market. Why anyone would buy this is just beyond me. The only reason anyone would buy this is if they have a hard on for GM, they want a midsize sedan, and they're too stupid to buy an Impala, which is better. There is nothing, and I mean nothing cool or redeeming about a Malibu.

    This is not an LT model: In 2013 the LT1 had the color coded mirrors with integrated turn signal, leatherette bolstered seats, stitched dashboard, mylink radio, and wood grain accents. Though yes it may not be a true headturner if you go for the LT model you will definitely have a better experience than the LS...I will agree the LS is a bit Rental Car.

    I dont get why hes so hard on Chevy, its not their fault their broke due to bankruptcy and bailouts... oh wait, yeah it is. Lol GM as a whole is shit. For less money and better bang for your buck, I would definately go for either a Ford Fusion or VW Jetta GLI, sportier, more economic, and actually nice to look at :)
