- www.autobytel.com/chevrolet/ma... Chevy's mid-sized sedan was redesigned for 2013 but when it hit the market it went head-to-head with redesigned versions of the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, and the Nissan Altima. So Chevy has once again updated the car to make it more competitive. The base model 2014 Chevrolet Malibu starts at $22,340 with the top of the line 2LZ costing $29,950.
Does Chevy's updated Malibu have what it takes to go against the heaviest hitters in the mid-sized sedan segment? The main changes on the exterior occur upfront with a redesigned grille, different fascia, and different headlights. For the most part the rest of the body is carried over from the 2013 model year.
Under the hood is an all-new 2.5 liter EcoTec 4-cylinder engine that makes 196 horsepower and 191 lb-ft. of torque. The motor features a start-stop system and direct-injection. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic. Fuel economy is rated at 25 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway.

Yeah right. I own a 2015 Malibu 1LT. This car is fantastic! The materials aren't cheap, the interior is fantastic, everything is outstanding. People are just picking on GM for the simple fact, IT'S GM! 4G LTE WI-FI. It's preppy, the 2.5L gets to 60 in 7.8 seconds. It has backup cam, a sunroof. I don't understand his discrimination against this car.
Nikki & Eryonne ;) ♥ A lot of the discrimination comes from the aesthetics of the car. The Cruze and Malibu look boring compared to a vehicle like the Fusion or Corolla and GM really needs to do something with the interior dash design. The dashboard looks far too "busy" on the Impala and the touch interfaces on the Malibu are counter-intuitive. My wife and I looked at both this and the Fusion SE and went with the Fusion hands down
Nikki & Eryonne ;) ♥
What????? The side profile is awesome to me.
The interior is awesome to me.
I have no problem with my MyLink, and its not counter-intuitive for me at all.
I understand reviews, but to make statements that seem to suggest my likes or dislikes, seems bossy. Basically, tell me what "you" don't like, not what "I" don't-won't like.
It seems that there are a lot of people that regardless, of these reviews, still think these cars are awesome.
My main point here is; Don't tell me what I will or won't like. [Oh, the interior is dull, the body lines are bland, the power isn't good, the engine is too noisy, this car just isn't worth the money]. I watch the reviews to decide for myself what I like or don't like about the car. lol One good example is just from watching this video, I can't tell what the power of this car feels like. From this video, I can't tell how you're really using the MyLink. I went outside after watching to see if my MyLink actually was like that. All, I can say, is,... No issues here. I like looking at the interior [day and night]. And I'm always checking the exterior, because I think its got a very hot look.
That's my view
+tachikoma747 i had the cruze lt 2014 and now that malibu lt 2015.
and i bought yes bought a new ford mustang. i drove the fusion....you said boring??? The fusion did that for me.
He said CNN he's a f****** liberal
Same
Interior is cheap? What? Do yourself a favor and don't listen to this review. The materials didn't feel cheap at all to me. I think this is a underrated car unfairly hounded by bad press. People just like to pick on GM...
Chris Sutera I assume you own this car or did? I drive an 06 Malibu right now and I’m looking for an upgrade. Had my eyes on a 2016 Malibu but it’s too expensive. So now I’m looking at a 2014 Malibu, 11k# and 75k kilometres on it. How good of a car is it? Any problems I should know about at all?
@@THEREV468 as long as it has the 2.5l or 2.0T it'll be fine AVOID THE 2.4L AT ALL COSTS
Yea I got a used 2014 ls Malibu with the 2.5 liter. I love it I have a lot of people tell me it’s a nice car and I have the ls so it’s the lowest one
THEREV468 the only thing I notice is that the engine sounds weird. As another reviewer said it China it sounds like a vacuum with bronchitis LOL. It’s not the fastest car but gets the job done (I have the ls 4 cylinder .I heard the 6 cylinders are better). It a GM so keep up with the maintenance and oil changes and you’ll be fine
Lost me at CNN
Josh Wood LOL!! I know right! haha!
Same here.
😂😂😂
WTF would this guy say that? "Crazies at Fox" way to insult half your potential customers.
I own a Gen 6 2007 Malibu. I've got 158,000 miles on it, keep it very well maintained, and it's still running like a champ! Great gas miles, too. It gets roughly 25 city/30 highway. The Gen 6 is hands down one of the best body styles out there, and this body style mimics my Gen 6 very well.
I just bought this car as my first car, and she got like 32k km. She’s running like a brand new car and she’s very comfy
at 32k km IT IS a brand new car :)
You only have bad things to say about the car, this is not really a review if your just gonna shit talk . The Malibu is a great car inside and out . The interior doesn't feel cheap at all .
xxFabulous24xx I have a 2015 Malibu and it's AWFUL, DO NOT BUY IT
Great car. This man is a Trump voter who buys imports.
He’s hating cause he has a Ford Fiesta 😂
Live Life13/ lying ass. I have a 2013 and it’s not bad. So does my brother. We like them. The radio is good. The engine is reliable. Nothing wrong with the car. Now. If you don’t take care of it. Don’t expect it to take care of you.
I think this guy is nitpicking
+Nick Banaszak me to
LOL.
mike19621000 yah. He forgot to mention that the radio beats the competition like actually being able to put a big touchscreen in the car. And having great sounds from the speakers. Like he left that out. The radio sounds amazingly great!! My brother was the one with the 2013 Malibu, and he got a lot of questions from other family members if the radio was stock because of how clear and deep the bass was. It was good. I cannot lie. The bass was loud. No distortion. The radio was loud. The tweeters were loud too. The thing I do not like about the Chevy’s or GM cars is that if the battery were to be dead. The key will stay in the ignition. It won’t let you take it out. Unless the battery gets juice and then it’ll let you take it out. But other than that it won’t do anything.
I Have The 2LTZ And I Honestly Like It For My Family Car. I Have A 2014 Camaro SS And When We Go On Family Trips. Our Malibu Isn't Bad And Get Great Fuel Mileage. You Just A Picky Person. I Love Mine.
This is a solid car. Not the best, not the worst.
Much better than a Camry, Altima, Sonata, and Fusion for sure. It does compete very well with the Accord and 6..
Evan Ganske I'd say it's on the about the same level as the Sonata but a bit below the altima, fusion, and camry...the latter two offer excellent hybrids which I'd take over the Malibu
mb013962 I was just in a Camry for a week and it wasn't a bad vehicle. I had a few complaints overall ranging from low-grade materials that didn't follow through to uncomfortable seats over a long period of time. The Altima is and will always be a pile of junk. The Fusion isn't bad to drive, but the exterior is gaudy and the interior is boring. Not to mention MFT and SYNC which are awful. GM is currently working on a next generation eAssist Mild-Hybrid system for use in or around 2017. It will take up less space, be much lighter, and more efficient. All DOHC Ecotec and High Feature engines will be getting Intake Variable Valve Lift and Dynamic Skip Fire to increase responsiveness and efficiency. GM will also be coming out with their 7 Speed DCT as well as 9 and 10 Speed Automatics.
Evan Ganske I'm in total agreement with on the altima. The cvt sucks and the seats in the s model is to firm. Never again rent altima. I'll pick camry and malibu ltz.
have a 2014 malibu lt1 w/83000 miles, still get 28- 30 MPG constantly on mixed driving, and floats like a cloud, nice smooth ride with plenty of passing pep and is very attractively styled, i like car
by far the best car I have owned ..I use to have a 2013 BMW 5 series it was a okay car had a over heating problem going up hill and the ride was a rough. touch screen didn't work well and the cabin sound was loud ...now I have a 2015 Chevy Malibu fully loaded I love this car so much very very satisfying driving it
I just got a 2013 . It is a good driving car , and comfortable .
I own a 2014 Chevy Malibu LT with the 2.5L engine. The car is very attractive looking and I get many compliments on the vehicles styling and appearance. I do agree with what he is saying in terms of the fuel economy. Based on the sticker I thought that maybe I'd get about 5 MPG less at most but I get far less. Under normal combined driving condition I average 25 MPG (without using the remote start). I do like the Chevy MyLink System as well as the Bluetooth Streaming Audio. This allows you to pair your smartphone to the MyLink System and listen to music that is on your smartphone through the vehicle's audio system. The ambient lighting on the dash is very elegant during night time driving as well. I honestly didn't think that I would like this vehicle as much as I do now when I first purchased it. I purchased this car originally because I had a vehicle that was under finance that caught fire and needed $6,000.00 in repairs that I could not afford and that my insurance company would not cover. I ended up trading the vehicle because I couldn't afford the repair bill and the 2014 Malibu at the time (February 2014) had $4500 in rebates that helped me eat up the repair bill that was owed to GM's service department. Based on my situation at the time I purchased this vehicle not even really wanting it and so far I must say that I am impressed over all. I'm saying this because my Malibu is just as LT and it does have quite a bit of options for the price of the car compared to other new cars on the market similarly priced.
Joe Setterbo but. One thing with this car. It has one of the best resale values for its class.
Joe Setterbo out of all the other midsized cars.
i inherited this car from my grandfather after he died, it honestly runs like a dream and im absolutely blessed to be able to have a car without paying for it (aside from insurance and all that) i dont know how well my grandpa took care of it before it ended up in my possession but i've had to fix the brakes, there was issues with the solenoids, and now im waiting on a water pump to come from an online store so i can get my overheating radiator fixed. but i'm not discouraged at all, i have faith in this car
I'm so happy you reviewed this car! One of the very few for the '14 Malibu, even if I think it deserves more accolades than it received in this review :p
my favorite reviewer, so complete for what is important to real world drivers and families!!!
The forward collision warning system has helped me quite a few time!!!! I am glad to have it.
I don't know why everyone think that the ford fusion exterior is good looking, i guess to each its on. Not in my book, this style Malibu is hot, Its aerodynamic, it got a bold, muscular stance and just got a better all around appearance, most people i know don't like the back but i think GM did a great job contrasting the rounded front to a square back. Very distinctive back from all of the other mid size cars.
I have a 2014 Malibu I brought brand new I'm very happy with it and he's nitpicking
I really don't know what this guy is talking about. I rented this car this weekend on vacation. Drove it over the course of 4 days. And I really liked the car. Nice pick up and acceleration, the handling could be a lil stiffer, but the ride is nice. My gas mileage was pretty good. I started at full. And when I returned the car it wasn't even past half. And I drove a good amount. I loved the seats and stereo. This guy is clearly has technical issues. I was able to work the mylink system just fine once I learned it. It just take a seconds to load up. You and can go from channel to channel on sirius with the seek buttons. I'm looking to buy a sports sedan next year. I currently have a 2004 Mazda 6 which i love and not getting rid off. lol And I might put this into consideration, but I like a lil more power. I'm more of a Charger, Maxima, etc kind of guy. But for the money this car gives you a lot.
good looking steering wheel.
congrats chevy!
Listen, American cars have gotten much better. I would choose the Chevy Malibu and Ford Fusion any-day over accord, camry, and altima. Cause the Honda and Nissans use CVTs which suck after 10,000 miles.
Robert Schneider I like the Camry. The Camry is pretty nice with its transmission. It feels like I’m racing everywhere I go. But I kind of got bad fuel economy when I was in LA.
Robert Schneider but I love the Malibu’s and the impalas. Cruzes too! Also Camaro’s!
Great car review!
Good review. Best one ive seen.
I just bought my new Malibu LT last month. It is a good car to commute, very quite when driving. The Auto stop future is cool, feel like a little bit german style, but I don't think it is helpful for fuel consumption. Till now, the mpg is 20 combined, not what they said on window sticker 25/36. All others are good.
Like you got to wait for the radio to fully start up to turn it off. It’s loading. Nothing will let you turn something off if it’s booting up. You can’t expect for a 1st gen MyLink system to be all snappy and fast. It’s a brand new system to Chevy. It’s atleast to be the first car to put one in on the Chevy cars. Buick’s intellilink is the same but different startups. But you have to give the radio time to turn it off. You can’t expect it to be off right when you turn it on. Just like the older radios. You have to wait.
I had a 2013 Malibu LS1 and I loved it. Only thing I didn't like, was it sat to slow at the front. But I'd still would want another one.
You can go back and forth one channel at a time by using the skip track button. I like that mylink lets me do both. It's not rocket science. Fox news is melting your brains
Hows the sound system? Can it get really loud with good bass? No one ever comments about the sound system when doing car reviews and that's a huge thing for music buffs like me.
I test drove a 2LT with the 9 speaker Pioneer system and it's awesome. You have to manually adjust the EQ to your taste, but it's a great sound for any type of music, plenty of bass, unless you're the type who likes your eardrums blown out and want everyone for a mile around to hear what you're listening to.
sits in the back seat with front seat ALL the way back and says he has no room for his legs.. I drive rental cars every week and this has been my favorite out of everything, I'm currently buying this car. 36,ooo for a brand new one or 14,5oo for a '14 used with 30k miles (ltz model only here..) Out of all of the cars this was most comfortable enjoyable ride I had. the inside is spectacular and the ambient lighting at night is awesome. It's the newest most luxurious used car you can get for 14 grand hands down, I'm also hoping that the value won't come down much more then that, it's lost over 60% on sticker price in only 2 years on the road. This is why I will never buy a new car, worst investment ever. I heard car loses 5k off of book value once you register it because it's no longer classified new, it could have 5 miles on it.
Cars are depreciating assets. Buying new is a waste of money.
Did they fix the drivers side headlight?
The collision system can be set on the steering wheel....you can adjust the distance. and put the windshield camera off.
Whats the difference between 2LTZ and 1LTZ? I have my 2014 Malibu LTZ and so far i love it. Im adding my personal touches tinted windows, switching all halogen yellow light to led 6000k cool white lighting on both interior and exterior. This dude is really picky though.
Listening to this guy talk is worse than hearing a dentist's drill. Honestly, this car is unfairly reviewed by so many honda/toyota fan boys. If Chevy could literally built a Bentley, and charged 35,000$ for it, the press would still tear it apart. Any real car enthusiast can see past this elementary school level review, but Joe-six-pack average consumer will take it as gospel.
That's interesting that you aren't getting that great a fuel mileage. We had to rent one after an accident totaled our Tahoe, and somehow, someway, I was able to get 25-28 mpg in my normal driving style. I don't really accelerate aggressively (it shifted around 2500-3000 rpm, but felt torquey for a 4 cylinder engine with a real kick around 4000 rpm), but I do cruise around 65mph. Around here, there's more of a highway if you take one route into town and MUCH more of a city stop-and-go route if you take the other way. I almost never use the city way, but on the highway side, there is a pretty substantial, if short, hill, but it never went lower than 5th gear unless I went to pass someone. Then it went into 4th and hovered around 4 grand, but by then I was giving it serious beans. I only did that once, but it did make me start looking at sedans. I'm 5'6" with a wide frame, but only 130 lbs behind me, so it's about the right size for me in any seat, but what I didn't like about it was the styling made rear visibility a bit worse than I thought it would be. That being said, I think you could fit enough luggage for a fairly long road trip in the back without any drama, and still get there cheaply with the fuel economy of the non-turbo engine.
Either he hates this Malibu or He must drive a Bentley or something. This car is great!
I have this exact car !!!! I Love it !!!! :-)
Were you ever a refrigerator salesman?
I dont understand why American makers can't get a big back seat. Asian automakers have been able to get HUGE back seats and tons of interior cabin space from even little compacts like a Corolla and these mid size sedans like the Malibu and Fusion have like 0 leg room in comparison.
Nick Olsen Americans prefer HUGE trunk space. It's why we love SUVs, so our sedans have to have a lot of trunk space. I'm fine without it personally. I don't have a lot of shit to haul, or dead bodies to bury in the desert.
Nick Olsen that’s the thing. LESS TRUNK SPACE! And less room for the engines!
Well i love my 15 LT2. He didnt even mention the fold down rear seats. Gas mileage, I constanly get 25 or more in the city. Maybe his car is brand new. But i do agree with the manual shift. But this is a cruizer car not a sports sedan. But does have excellent handling characteristics. Hell, European opel designed the suspension. This guy didnt even read up on the car 1st. He was operating the radio wrong. Read the manual dude.
Great video, informative! You sound and look like the late John Ritter!! :)
Cool car
You tried to tuen it off when it hadn't even started it
IKR! He's such a typical asshat, trying to turn on the tv when its not plugged in. Its a shame they let him do reviews on good cars.
Carlos A. Yah. I don’t think he should be sitting in the car himself. He doesn’t seem very comfortable. And like always. Blames the car for being small. Just like blaming the dog for farting. It’s not the cars fault you feel squished. I felt just fine in my brother’s Malibu.
This is the only review I have found that claims the incorrect mpg. Try looking up the real consumer reports for this car, multiple sites are flooded with people happy about the exact fuel mileage number BEFORE BREAK-IN. I also disagree with the opinion of exterior profile shots, but seeing as this an opinionated part of the review it is arbitrary anyway. The malibu also has one of the highest rated nav systems in the segment, this guy doesn't appear tech savvy and he shows it. Do yourself a favor and ignore this review and look for a less opinionated review
the headlights are the same, basically its just the front bumper that changed and the manual parking break ,,2013 its electronic parking break
This guy is looking for things to nit pick on this car.
Totally!
I agree, most people do. Its sad that Americans themselves are the ones that put bash their own cars, pity.
um, it's a car review...
Yeah, a terribly executed one
I have this car. I give it a b- c+. I haven’t had many mechanical issues other then normal wear and tear stuff. I like the my link system.ps you can push the seek button to go through the channels.you can also add a
Channel to your favorites and it will appear at the bottom of the screen. I hate the start stop system as this model you can’t disable it. The batteries are expensive. It’s also not the fastest car . It’s a Chevy so if you take care of it ,it will be fine.
Can someone tell me how roomy the driver seat is. I'm a tall guy and want to make sure the cabin is high enough
I suppose vice-versa. Malibu 2 (2017
Good review. You called it like it is and many of the things on this 2014 Malibu that I didn't like , you coincidently mentioned them in the video. I do like the exterior's meaty appearance of this car more than the interior but only with the 18" rims because the standard 16" wheels make this car look pathetic. I agree with Autobytel guy that it looks wonky from the side but I kind of like it. It's more distinctive that the look-a-like competition. And that complicated Stop-Start system has to go GM! Why does Accord, Camry or Altima have better mileage without that stop-start crap.
The Malibu does need a new rim lineup. The LT's 18" painted and LTZ 18" machined wheels are hideous!
the stop start system is like my only gripe with this car
Nice car
U complaining the whole video (cry baby)
so my 2008 smart has a better shifter and radio than this '14 POS that costs twice as much, now i feel so much better! and the interior is better as well.
The background music is not necessarily too loud, but certainly distracting.
Good review
Is 2014 Malibu have side mirror sensor light ????????????
Not surprising to see that GM has not improved their product only their marketing hype. I suppose they'll ask for another bail out when they reach troubled waters.
196 horses explains why mine takes off so damn fast 😂
I do like this car, but the Ford Fusion DESTROYS it in style. I would never pay this much for this car, no way.
I actually prefer the Malibu's styling over most of its competition. The Fusion is quite ugly on the outside and very boring on the inside.
Well, you are a flaming faux-hawked twink who is clearly obsessed with General Motors crap for some unknown reason. Anyone your age with a Buick logo in their profile pictures clearly has mental deficiencies. Do you have an "MP3 Player" yet? Or do you listen to music on a Victrola?
godfatherNYC I truly hope for your sake, that you know that your words don't offend me. I am proud of being who I am (whether that is a flaming faux-hawked twink or whatever more compliment's you have in store). Just because I have more +'s than you doesn't mean that it's okay for you to be a butthurt troll. It is quite obvious to me that you haven't been in a Buick for a long time. Go take a look at a shiny new Verano, a second top rated sports sedan by CR Regal, a luxurious LaCrosse, a practical Encore, or a comfortable Enclave and then I might be able to take you seriously. The new Envision crossover and Cascada convertible model's are coming soon as well. I have an iPod Touch 4 and an N7 and am a monthly subscriber to Spotify Premium.
Too bad they dropped the electronic parking brake. Had it for only one year, the 2013 year. I think that year looks better too...
6:40
"it's really impractous"
wait what?
+Matt C in practice.
Good cars. Have a 2004 for ten years... But it depreciates soo bad after just a couple years... I guess cause of the name
I'm a Detroit guy and the son of a GM autoworker so I am biased. However, I find Japanese cars to be so damn boring and bland. I got a hand me down Honda Civic and it had way more issues than my 97 Monte Carlo at the same mileage. Not to mention it was the single most bland and boring car I have ever been in.
SeanP7195 True story. The interiors are not modern at all. Yawn! Malibu is beautiful.
Ummm....you can just tune directly to your preset radio/XM stations from your steering wheel controls. Works great! Duh!
where is the short guy? He does a better review than this guy
This car runs and drive very solid but leg rooms in the rear is really way below it competitors. The corolla is smaller, shorter but got 42" of leg rooms. LOL GM needs to fire some of their people hired some people from Toyota to redsign the rear leg room.
This interview is a bit too long for my liking.
By the way, you get one hell of a car and tons of accessories for 25k! Camry is BORING and the Subaru? Well, keep it in the northwest!
$30,000 for a Malibu ? No way. I would buy an accord for about $5k less.
For $25,000 you wouldn't be able to get the top of the line Accord...don't try it.
bsc1959 they shouldve just named something else besides malibu.
a accord ??? really u want a popcorn car???? junk honda ....... have fun with them repairs a recalls kiddo,, get a life i spent 25k for my 2014 with 47k miles on it,, cant beat that go buy ur junk honda n see how far u will get
@@That_malibu_guy I spent 13,700 on a 2014 Malibu with 44k on it and Honda is way more reliable than newer chevy's.
Hello. My name is Otha, I think that the malibu is a fine automobile. I am really in need of a good car. Can I please have a 2015 chevy malibu. It would be so kind of you to allow me to have one. Thank you.
This guy sounds like a teenage girl who got a Honda Civic instead of the Mercedes she asked for!
This car could have EASILY been made a MUCH better sales success with dropping the old-style shifter with a ROTARY DIAL transmission selector!!!
Oh that's all they needed? A fucking knob? Somebody get this guy a medal and a job at Chevy!
Reviewer, please keep you speaking volume consistent. The beginning of your sentences are loud enough, but your voice volume drops and by the end of your sentence it sounds like you're mumbling. It drives me nuts watching this on a tablet or phone.
Cnn?
The side profile looks a bit like a Chrysler 300. Nothing wrong with that.
This guy is filled with negativity it's kind of funny
Mine is regular but,good enough
Pretty sure he nitpicked the Impala too.
Yeah this guy shouldn't be reviewing cars. He's boring, his voice is annoying, and he doesn't know anything about the tech. He probably still uses a Motorola cell phone from the 80s. Please find someone else to do your reviews
I love mine I've leased mine I got a 2016 malibu limited ltz and it's sharp looking looks like a mini camaro and it rides heavy and a smooth powerful engine 197 he and 191lbs. ft of torge is pretty good ford fusion doesn't have that in its base power plant like gm it's loaded and leather seats awsome car the new malibu 2016 look like shit
It has a CD player.
Break the engine in B/4 checking milage.
Why should you be able to control an entire other application while in a total other one. And why should you be able to shut it off while its still booting. You just need to be patient buddy.
+SNIFFYTIGER74 He probably still has a Blackberry.
+Ray Koehler hahahahaha
Nice Porsche parked over there.
I test drove this car. It had a hundred different ways to piss me off. Dreadful. Even the salesman was pissed off. He was in hell in that back seat.
Malibu 2
Why do you wine so much 😂 all you had to do is move your finger another half inch lol
I thought it was nice to see a review that went past "oh it's great, fantastic", or the simple "it sucks". Let's face it, even the top cars will have annoyances. Great point about GM wanting cars to be softer on bad roads since they are located in Detroit. For those of you who don't know Michigan has the worst roads in the world. Seriously, India may actually have better roads. The Big 3 get an earful everyday about how rough cars are and seem to have listened.
I like that the nose is high and rounded a bit. It's cute and attractive. The new malibu (2017)is a recycled impala. Boring!
my 2014 ls gets 32 combined mpg...you can't drive
if you don't like the car don't do a review on it 😂
SPOILER ALERT::: this person hates GM. Oh and he also doesn't die at the end
Why's it so expensive you can get a top of the line cherger for 36
No you can't. The SRT8 Hellcat is top of the line, and costs you about $64,000 with no extra features.
Dukiny Gaming they shouldve just named it something else besides malibu.shouldve named it chevelle...or a new name.if they wouldve named it chevelle they wouldve sold alot more cars.& nobody wouldve questioned the price.
non stop complaining about crap. no bueno
Nice sneakers lol
You have more complaints than my ex wife
Why are you dressed like a high school freshman? Lol .
still agree the 1st gen Malibu is the best of them all. The new one is ugly
Rental queen POS. I'd make this a rental car only and start over as a Nova.
If you don't:
This NEEDS 30-31 MPG Combined. The problem I see is that engine bay is designed to accept a V6 which adds a TON of weight. Yes dump the V6 & Turbo, this car should not reach 36-37K.
The back seat is a joke and always has been a joke. Address the engine bay & stretch the wheelbase.
Start Stop is garbage unless you have an electric powered AC. Otherwise you will fry if it's 85F+ outside when the engine is stopped.
Our 2014 2LTZ Malibu has been averaging 23 City and 34 Highway (and beating everyone else's a** with best in class 295LB-FT). We had a 2LT loaner car for a week and were averaging 28 City and 39 Highway with best in class 196HP! The engine bay is actually designed mainly for small I4 engines, but will be able to accommodate a small V6 with a few changes. Stop/Start won't work if you have the AC/Heat on. Our top end 2LTZ with every box clicked just hit $35K, but we ended up paying around $23K with the GM Card Savings and Trade In.
Okay, okay, enough, from the first line, I could already tell you know absolutely nothing about a car. More specifically THAT car. So next time you open your mouth to speak, make sure you know what your talking about. Otherwise you'll just look like an idiot.
the short guy does a better review
