Regular Car Reviews: 2014 Chevrolet Malibu LT

- Don't drink and drive because if you do, you're part of the problem. It's okay to drink, stand in your bedroom and talk into a microphone. The Chevy Malibu is a car in which you can tell a black-guy joke. It's also a car for people who just want a car and that weird drink where they latch Corona bottle upside down to the glass at an angle. Corona Rita Margarita. Blegh.
Everyone, man-up and lean to love Gin Martinis.

I'm a teacher posting from my husband's account, because if I posted from my account that I'm drinking wine and watching this instead of grading papers the parents who follow my G+ account will see and get me fired for moral turpitude. Your non sequitur about teachers was the truest thing I've ever heard. Except I'm too poor to own a Malibu so I bought a 2007 PT Cruiser from my mom. It's canary yellow. It serves as both a metaphor and as a punishment for my career choices.
🤣
oh god teach!!! we love how you see our low potential
Same...
Not surprised if she never did get that Malibu.
@Curt Johnson ...i hope you've watched the ep about the PT Cruiser
"The malibu offers a- a ride"
"This is a caaarr"
This works for any and every Malibu built since the 5th gen.
"v8 if you're american, v6 if you're the girlfriend" fuck i'm dead
Even tough it sounds more fun, he says "v8 if you are a man, v6 if you are the girlfriend.".

To me, the Malibu is the American Camry. It's boring, safe, and everywhere. It is a means of personal transportation, nothing more and nothing less.
Patrick Proctor to me it seems more luxurious than them fords for sure
and what is wrong with that car like this are great they reliable and affordable they make a great daily
@Some Guy That's why I've always thought of Chevy as America's Nissan. Good in some areas, bad in some others. The Malibu is more like an Altima
I affiliate it more with a Honda Accord. At least the Camry has a V6 option.

Which drunk is best drunk
+John Lee Martini drunk is the best drunk because sophisticated
+John Lee Jager drunk is best drunk because BRO! Drunk day!!!
+John Lee Scotch is great. But the pain the next morning is not worth it.
+John Lee My drunk is best drunk because domestic violence!
+John Lee "Passed out while puking on the toilet with your pants off drunk" is the best drunk.
Or for me, Saturday nights...
This dude named Mike Judge does like the best Hank Hill impression ever...
+Matt Schuver He does a good Boomhauer too.
He is the voice of Hank Hill.
ThatGearHead™ That's the joke.
+ThatGearHead™ That's the joke
+ThatGearHead™ That's the joke.
"Everyone has a Hank Hill, but no one has a good Hank Hill" Truest thing ever.
I'm pretty sure you have to actually be from Central Texas to sound convincingly like Hank Hill.
Also, holy shit, King of the Hill ended 10 years ago now.
The modern Malibu is a car that people buy RIGHT when the new model comes out, then AGAIN when the next one comes out. It feels nice, new, at the time. Four years later it looks, drives, and feels like it was owned by baboons.
Totally agree, they way these cars look after the average owner is disgusting.
+alecjahn The "hates driving" assertion couldn't be more true. While Camry drivers just seem to neglect their cars, Malibu owners seem to actively try to destroy their cars.
+alecjahn As someone that lives in southeastern Michigan, I know exactly what you mean. most people that buy them and then get rid of them for the next model year leased them. more specifically they leased them through GM/Ford/Chrysler, because they or their spouse works for them. Of course they don't have a hands on car job like design, or engineering, they work in accounting and marketing, and don't even know half of the models the company makes because it has nothing to do with their work.
What also sucks is that for the 2016 model, if you do have a teenager, you have to get the top-of-the line 2.0 Liter turbo engine trim level to get the so-called "report card tech" to monitor your teens driving. If Chey didn't spend their money on making 4G LTE as standard equipment on every trim level, they could have spent it on standard HID headlights and putting safety tech in every trim level. People can live without built-in 4G LTE in the car, because phones have them, portable hotspots have them, and now 4G LTE hotspot can be plugged into a 12 volt outlet.
Tim Joseph exactly, not to mention that cars probably shouldn't have them anyways.
"The car for your dad to yell the N word in", is one of your greatest hits.

Come on man
"Drugs go here".
This review had me laughing from start to finish. Why. Truth. Well done
The fact that you grew up in a household that had a "burn pile" is way too Pennsylvanian. 😂
matt molloy us illinois(the s is silent) folk all have burn piles too!
We have those in rural Michigan too
froggo doggo Also in Ohio. 🔥
Hell, I grew up in rural northern California and we had burn piles. Never burned actual furniture or anything like that, though - mostly loose branches and forest crap.
I grew up in West Virginia, we burn everything.
I never understood people who actually bought these base level midsize cars new. Sure, if you option up cars in this class, then they can be pretty nice, and even reasonably exciting in some cases. But in base form, they're just the dullest of the dull. It's slow, yet it doesn't get particularly notable fuel economy. It's bland, and by particularly well equipped, but it's also not particularly cheap, especially when you factor in the used market.
Buying one of these cars is like going to a fancy restaurant and ordering a $30 peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Sure you probably won't hate it and it fills your stomach, but there's plenty of better things you could have spend your money on.
+splewy Most of the "base" models are bought by rental fleets, then purchased used by people with bad credit
+Sean Haney This, or you just have a desperate or irrational desire for a new car no matter what - even if the car itself isn't anything to write home about. Frankly I don't understand this model year fetishism. You can get a base model economy car, or a top trim nice car that's a couple years old and "gently used" for probably about the same amount of fliff. Resale value of luxury trim and options plummets like a damn rock after a painfully short period of time.
MalikCarr
I couldn't agree more. If you're gonna buy new, then get a car that is actually new. One with the latest features, tech, etc. If you can't afford one of those cars, buy used. Buying a stripped out, base level new car is one of the dumbest things you can do with your money. Like you said, there are so many better options in the used market.
Five years ago I bought an 4 year old Acura TL with 44k miles and all the bells and whistles for less than the price of a base Honda Civic (also less than half the TL's original price). It has given me zero problems.
The same thing applies to trucks too. I see lightly used, 2 year old, loaded King Ranch 4x4 F-150s selling for $35k every day, when a similar 2015 truck will set you back $52k.
+splewy And that TL is probably nicer than a Civic in every way, right? Hell if you really scrounged around you probably could have gotten one with under 40k on the odo too.
MalikCarr
Oh yeah, way nicer. And I could have gotten one cheaper or with less miles, but I specifically wanted one with the rare 6-speed manual option.
Drugs go here. LMAO love the drunk review.
They do!

Looks like this car is a perfect "Regular Car".
"who only buy American cars" , Diet coke how is he so damn spot on!
This harkens back to the old reviews. Much more inappropriate with some potty humor mixed in. Perfect.
tytotheler92 BROWN!
The most non-regular review of the most regular car.
He had to ease the pain of the Malibu somehow
"It's a car for your dad to yell the N word in."
LMFAO!
xD
You realize that it's an *anti* racist joke, right? He's stereotyping whites, saying it's a car that a racist white old man would drive, (furthermore - as a joke).
Ease up, Mr. Kolt.
+William Kolt One like.
Why did you take the time to type out that argument and then tell HIM to ease up just for saying "zero likes"
Sixteen likes, including from myself.
You're the one with zero likes ya hypocrite!
I know im a year late on this but that was the best line of the whole video
"English degree on 4 wheels" OMG ROFL!
that's the problem with cars that are just appliances. eventually, these will all be in wrecking yards just taking up space. in the future, no one is ever going to look back at the happiest memories of their life and think about their 2014 malibu. now my neighbor who has had his 67 chevelle malibu since before I was born, he has a lifetime of happy memories with that car.
+ledzeppelin27
I dunno. Supposing the car is reliable and upkeep isn't much, I could see tons of people taking the car in as a part of the family, with the same brand loyalty Packard had back in the day. Not every one wants performance or luxury, and simply having a car that has no major faults and is competent is a nice stepping-stone to a full-sized Buick later on.
I mean, sheesh, it was Detroit's inability to make a car exactly like this that handed the market to the Japanese. Nothing wrong with cheap, reliable transportation that is executed well.
+ledzeppelin27 Exactly
yeah, I get you. I suppose I can't hate something that serves it's purpose. I will not like it for other reasons though, lol *****
+quintessenceSL I feel like those people are incredibly simple minded and dumb to be frank. For instance, a fully loaded Malibu is over 30k. Yet for 30k you can buy a fully loaded Mazda6. Which gets better gas mileage, looks MUCH better and has almost no plastic inside. Its all leather, has way more goodies and when the road gets twisty the car is a lovely experience. Lots of feedback and feel for the driver, so why would ANYBODY buy the Malibu. Unless they are retarded and think that ANY new car is amazing.
+Raymond Newbill You are leaving out the fact that Mazda 6's have been in the news recently for leading to the deaths of several people due to faulty ignition switches the company knew about and covered up.Oh, wait, that was GM wasn't it?
smash that like button if you like futa
+oliverclothesove I love the fact this comment exists. Thanks so much for the giggle. xD
+NeoMegaMan ty megaman
+oliverclothesove I own a malibu. My favorite drink is mountain dew and i despise big bang theory.

Drug compartment is the biggest selling point for me.

My Malibu owning boss LOVED hearing that come from my speakers.
"This is a car." Good to know.
I own the same 2014 malibu, and my dad also bought this for me when I was going away to college.
"Its fine"
I dont know about you guys. But i like my boring life. work, chuch, gym and Fox News. This car is my spirit animal.
oh hello
(New jersey accent) chuch
I'm from New Jersey, no one says 'chuch'. No one says 'Joisey' either. And no one says exaggerates 'How you doin?!' to sound like Paulie from The Sopranos. Not everyone here is Italian. And Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen aren't only rock musicians (or celebrities for that matter) from this state. If you're not from New Jersey, it's safe to say you don't know dick about it.
@@beardedslavbrew615 I had a coworker from Jersey and he had just about the strongest scent I've ever heard, don't know what you're talking about. Of course some people have stronger accents than others.
Fox news? That shits nasty af
The Direct Injection gas motors still sound like their diesel cousins to me, but all the noise is suppressed by plastic sound deadening and tight computer controls on the injection duration and cycle.
But so much of the benefit that the DI gives is lost in a slushbox, like so many tears in the rain.
+Stephen Kraus Either way it's better than pathetic carburetors
It just sounds like the valves are way out of adjustment to me. Our 08 speed3 and our 2016 Mazda6 both have Direct Injection. Inside you can't hear anything, outside though, especially cold starts, sounds like it's about to blow up.
+Raymond Newbill Its just the sound of 2000 psi of fuel pressure getting shoved through a piezo injector.
+Stephen Kraus That was beautiful, man!
"Malibu: It's a car" This message brought to you by your local Chevrolet dealer.
Old school RCR derangement FTW
This was one of the best reviews in a long while, Mr. Regular. Great insight, a little dirty, and at least three new catch phrases deserving a T-shirt.
i liked the "limiter" part, when he just held it down for a good 2 or 3 seconds
OMG I'm 55 bought a 13 Malibu ltz. I don't like diet Coke. I like martins. made with Russian vodkas. I like my 13 Malibu ltz that redlines at 7000 RPM. And drives out better than a Camry. and was about 5 k less with way more options. Loved the video.
+Ted Roberts Yep. I bought a '14 Malibu LTZ in September in great condition for a helluva lot less than new. The car is 'fine' -- just the way I want it. It beats driving my F-150 just to run errands around town all week.
More please.... more Regular Drunk Reviews... I am loving this.
Every couple of years I come back to this channel, thank you mr regular
this review is so accurate because before my aunt lost everything she had, she was working for Wachovia in Scranton, (I know own her house in East Stroudsburg and am thinking about contacting you) and in 2005 she ran her 1987 Ford Taurus into a snow bank. She sold it for 300 dollars and bought a 2004 Malibu. She was doing very well, making 80k a year in a manger's position. She was laid off when the Wachovia branch closed in Scranton? and she began to work for Walmart. She then crashed her Malibu into a wall going up 715 to get to 447. She resulted to my grandfather's 82 Volvo 240 wagon and, well her husband wasn't the best with her money. After a few years she sold it and was finally able to buy a 2002? Chevy Aveo. It wasn't glamorous but she drove it. Then winter came in 2012 and boom another snow bank. She sold the car back to the dealer and used the money to lease a new elantra. But it was when she went to SC for my grandmother's funeral that her husband bought a chevy colorado, and ugh. Her car was repo-ed and needless to say, after being stuck in there apartment which she got after she foreclosed twice, she left him, and scraped up 1700 to buy a 2003 Impala. She has no job because after she got into the same accident twice, she was a little messed up. But she moved in with her sister in South Carolina and works at a Publix. So she's kinda back where she started.
Chew Singh tragedy
The Roman, that was a fantastic song at the end. It seemed like it could be a bridge in a Peter Gabriel B-side.
I recently bought a 2016 Chevy Malibu (same body style, just slightly newer.) My last vehicle was a 2001 Ford Ranger, so this car feels like a HUGE upgrade. It's not a bad car, I'm 22, I finished my degree, and I'm about to be looking for a new job. I needed something reliable for the long haul. It's jam packed with plenty of features and even voice control. However, that 2.5L EcoTec isn't very fuel efficient at all! If I'm lucky if I get 19 MPG city and 28 MPG highway, right now I'm at 18.5 because I'm mainly city driving it!
I figure I might as well post an update. I mostly did both a combination of city and highway driving (2/3 highway) and the highest MPG I ever got was 23. And that was basically form grandmother driving it for an entire month. Most of the time I stayed around 22.5 MPG with typical driving. It wasn't just me, I know someone else that had basically the same car but a year older and it pretty much got the same MPG. That's pretty sad out of a 2.5L 4-cylinder. I've been working a decent job for awhile and have recently upgraded to something more fuel efficient and more practical overall.
@@CoonotafooThank you for the update. I found it to be very helpful. I hope you're doing well at your job
All jokes aside, these cars are a LOT better than 10-15 years ago!!
so the shit smells slightly better. still shit.
+TheSpritz0 Okay but isn't that basically true across the board of GM cars? The late 90s and early 2000s were not a good time for American cars in general and GM in particular.
+MalikCarr This new Malibu at least (and you're right about the 90's my God I remember the best the cops had was the tiny LUMINA!!) is a good hope for G.M.!!
"cram farts into..."
and I was GONE. DAMN.
more drunk vids please. hilarious.
I've watched a lot of these reviews and kind of laughed along because the analysis of the kind of people who drive that car seemed to fit, but as the driver of a '15 Malibu, this review [in my experience] is a pretty accurate description. Well done [not sarcastic].
This review was done by "real people", NOT actors! THANK YOU.
Favorite review in a while, Mr. Regular, keep em comin!
Regular Drunk Car Reviews! ALCOHOL EVEN MAKES A MALIBU INTERESTING.
Like "V8s are for the men, V6s are for the girlfriend!", it's funny how my parent's generation react to certain configurations in cars. I remember when I was searching for a family beater to move lawnmowers and dogs around, and we looked at a V6 Mitsubishi Magna (Diamonte). My dad was all interested in it, until I mentioned front wheel drive... "Ahhh geez! I don't think we can have a front wheel drive... front wheel drive is bad, it's bad to maintain, front wheel drive is bad!"
I don't think my father has ever owned a front wheel drive car. And he's had around 40 cars.
Either have I, for that matter.
2:18 THAT'S the battery?! Damn thing's tiny!
Spaghettios I was trying to figure that out I was like shit that's a battery
it has an auto off, i think that battery is used to keep accessories on when the engine is off. or it may be used to start the engine back up
Note to Mr. Regular: The cars used by William "Scourge of the Normal-Sized Bathtub" Taft were a White steam touring car and a Pierce-Arrow limousine.
This is the best one you've done yet. It's the first one I laughed out loud (alone, forever alone) in many of your reviews. I think you have something here with the drunk reviews.
Who is trunk-trunk? Who is trunk-trunk?
I miss the availability of V8's, now we have all of this 4-cylinder garbage.
Here in Australia V8 Holden Commodores, V8 Holden utes, V8 Ford Falcons and V8 Holden Statesmans are everywhere and can be had fairly cheaply.
Just means more sloppy turbos
That's the kind of regular car review we've been waiting for for a long time.
President Taft had a White Steamer, a 1909 Model M 7-Seat Tourer. Love the videos man, whenever I need a laugh I just watch a random video from your channel!
I bought my '13 Malibu LTZ in early 2014, I love the car. It's comfy and rides smooth. Now, some export Malibu's came with a V6, which is what I have, and the fuel economy is so good, the performance is what you expect from a mid-size V6 sedan. I think if the '13-'15 came with the interior from the '17 it would sell like hot cakes (never mind that it actually sold out of showrooms every year). The Interior is like it's 1999 but with a touch screen and a lot of fake wood lmao.
That outro though is total amazeballs...
dude. honestly one of your best. You didn't do that word hang thing that I always hear in your other videos, which I think might be a result of editing out "um"s. it was all quick delivery and on-point.
This was brilliant, guys! This season is becoming something special.
"Drugs go here" my dealer uses that exact spot. 😂😂😂😂
Kel from good burger and Jake from State Farm hahaha
Best video yet. And honestly that is high praise as your videos are amazing. The burning of the chair because of farts is a daily occurance in my family. love it
This happens every time: I start watching a RCR video, get distracted for what seems like half a second, and I'm completely lost
As the owner of a 2006 Malibu, "This is a car" is the exact reason why I love it. It just does what it's meant to do and does it well.
That and it is the only car I've ever owned since 2015.
You know what? You should rent more cars for a day, so you could be as cruel with them as you want, say whatever you want, or find the rev limiter!
I have a white 2014 1LT, it’s a good car, dependable, good milage, gets me to school, has a *little* bit of ass. Drug compartment only holds a spare headlight tho. 145,088 miles. Just has a piece of chrome window trim coming off. No complaints.
this is one of the best reviews of a car I've ever heard

this is why i pay the patreon.

Thanks Roman... you given me something to him at work all week.
I haven't laughed so hard at one of these since your Crown Vic video. Love it.
Chevy make the same steering wheel for Impala LT please!
6:04 "It's a car for your dad to yell the N-word in"
Nope, that would be a 2004 Dodge Dakota.
Mr. Regular, *please* do another drunken rant of a review. This is by far one of my favorites lol
"The Malibu is a lot of things but it isn't a Rolex on a stiff dick. Because this isn't going to give you a hard time."
PURE. GENIUS!
"It's a car for your dad to yell the n-word in". LMFAO. I laughed WAY too hard at this.
Isn't this the same car they dump the Corvette 6.2L 415hp motor in and sell as the Chevrolet SS? They look like the same body but I'm not sure?
+PistnRods The bodies are near indistinguishable but everything underneath is completely different
The Chevy SS is a re-badged Australian Supercar. Ever hear of the Holden Commodore? Fast and handles surprisingly well for a car with 4 doors. Pontiac started with the G8 but once Pontiac went under, Chevy took the torch. The biggest problem with the SS is it looks like a normal car. You could call it a sleeper, but it defeats the purpose of having a fast car of it looks like a normal rental car.
+dallin prisbrey I thought so! I used to have a Pontiac GTO. I knew the dna went into the SS but wasn't sure about its base model. I think when they started asking 60k I lost interest haha.
+dallin prisbrey I dunno if I would call it a supercar. But yeah, it sucks they look like rental cars, especially when the g8 was a decent looking car.
+PistnRods The SS runs on a different platform since it's rear wheel drive, and since it's rear wheel drive it's a hero
This was really funny. Love the videos man and i know you used to do podcasts and i thought it might be a neat idea if you did a drunk podcast about cars or car brands with similar comedy points as here. Just a thought. Thanks again for making Mondays good.
You, Mr. Regular, have a great capacity for doing stuff
pay 4 colleg
All hail fink
This is my new favorite channel.
I lost my first car to drunk driving. Not making that mistake again. Loved that car. '99 Toyota Camry with the 2.2 litre 4 cylinder and, even though it was an automatic, it was still fun. Reliable, great gas mileage, and spacious.
I drove 1 today for a few hours and yelled the n word
I Drink Pepsi, i liked Seinfeld. and i drive a Honda CB motorcycle..... FIGHT ME MALIBU!
+didactic polymath I'm guessing it's 1992-1997 CB750F2, a bike that does everything right, nothing wrong and thus it's boring as hell.
+lenon1980 Actually i started biking and got a cb300F and unless you're going zig zagging against psycho taxis in Manhattan its... horrendously tame.
this made me laugh out loud. My neighbours probably think I'm crazy now. Best car review ever.
Love the bit about burning the farted-out chair. Priceless :)
Ah, Chevy's Drug compartment. It's like ol' John Z. never left.
You're definitely in education or have been. Way too many references for anyone but.
I'm also in education 😏
DUDE! It's the first time I went to the very end of the video. Great outro!
this is propably the best video i have ever seen on this channel
25mpg is impressive... The fuck America...
consider American gallons are different in volume from british/euro gallons
+william9545 and it's not a small difference - it's about 20%. so this would get about 30/40 mpg in Imperial gallons.
william9545 fenzelian , my Skoda Octavia VRs, is advertised to get 75mpg, and actually achieves close to 60mpg. My friends Vlksvwagen UP gets nearly 95mpg...
+James Hogg 60mpg imp is 49mpg American. very impressive but you have to understand the different units. multiple hybrid cars and diesels in the states match that.
+James Hogg
Well disregard the 100000mpg everyone can achieve by, in 99% of the case(the rest is by grandma the car), boasting. Malibu is a bigger car, it is more of a Superb-sized. dont forget 25mpg CITY. Not much more different than VW passats in US testings. Not sure about UK but Swedish Insginias(Malibus, really) have roughly the same mpg as the Superb.
EDIT: were you talking about the older Octivia that were small-ish cars?
But but I like diet coke and TBBT D:
*I drove one of these from Enterprise actually and it was a pretty smooth riding car good for long trips but yeah not much power to speak of but i've never used so little gas on an 800 mile trip home to middle PA either before so i really can't complain and something you didn't get to see that impressed me was the blue lighted trim that gave off just enough light at night for you to be able to see pretty well in the front seats of the car without having to blind the driver with the map lights. i did like the little hide yer dope box behind the LCD for the radio, and i did think that little battery in the trunk was a neat idea until i had to sit stopped in traffic until the whole car just shut off and stayed off and i had to re-start the damn thing again to go anywhere once traffic started moving again. AND the driver's seat was a pain in the ass for a 6'5 360 pound man with back problems (me) to get in and out of at the time which are the very reasons i swore that even though i liked the car we would never own one. TO which my wife instantly declared "i want one!" OF FUCKNG COURSE! i bought her an 08 Pontiac Grand Prix in great condition for $2500 and told her to ride that rig a while and save up her money. mean time i went an bought myself an 06 Cadillac Escalade EXT so i could pull cars around on my car hauler, decked it out with 10 ply heavy duty All Terrain tires and customized the shit out of it. (my money WTF) but now she's changed her mind and would rather have one of these escalades too (Women!) She's still rocking the Grand Prix though and i haven't heard any of the "i want" out of her lately at all so maybe the Pontiac is enough for her for now* and Honestly i really did like the way the Enterprise Malibu handled and drove it just didn't have any balls is all it would move but you had to wind it up first. At least the Impala can be ordered with a 5.3L V8 still. much nicer option i'm sure.
This is probably my favorite review
