I was able to achieve 40.04 mpg in my 2016 altima sl over 700 miles with four people, two traffic jams, and head on gusty winds for around 200 miles...it's quite and very comfortable on long journey
Just picked up a 2016 Alitma 2.5 S a month ago and although I do miss the getup the 06 G6 (GTP) had...this Altima is just such a nice ride. Glad I picked this up. A guy at a different dealership tried to get me to buy a '17 Malibu...but the Altima just has a better look and feel to it (and was also $3000 cheaper than the Malibu).
Malibu wins hands down, a far superior interior to that of the Altima and Fusion, best in class connectivity and tech when compared to ford, nissans, and Toyota's offerings, better sound isolation when compared to Honda and fords offerings, and the Malibu is one of the lightest and largest entries in this segment especially when compared t the cramped fusion.
Malibu doesn't "win". The malibu looks ugly inside and out in my opinion. The interior is not better than Sonata or Optima. The only connectivity option that most the other cars dont have in the segment is 4g lte which most people dont care about at all. Not to mention the Chevy will most likely be way less reliable than any Japanese made sedan. The Accord and Camry are the best sellers for a reason.
You may want to visit your connectivity comment again youre missing a few things. Also nissan is not known for reliability like honda or toyota. Nissan has lower reliability ratings than chevy from kbb, edmunds, and consumer reports. Interior wise with more soft touch points, more leather, and less hard plastics than whats found in the fusion and kia competition i have to question your comments regarding such.
no mention of the altima not having that start/stop nonsense that the malibu got starting with the 2014 models. that little starter motor is going through quite a work out.
I’m tired of paid advertising reviews he completely hated on the Altima he didn’t even mention anything about the 3.5 SL which is the top tier Altima it’s comes fully loaded, there’s 5 trims for the Altima & the newer altimas have turbo installed he didn’t mention nothing..such a hater
I'm a hard core GM guy but I would go with the Altima. Chevy hit a homerun with the 08 Malibu then took a step back with the 13 model with the legroom and now this.... Chevy made a good tecky car but just not eye appealing unless you get the higher trims...
I think the new Malibu is rather appealing vs the old ones. The older models were dull and boring and this car will appeal to MANY more than its predecessor
Joke lets wait till we hit 50k to 80k and see which car is more rusty, how many times something broke, and how did the value of the car dropped. As a mechanic i can say that definitely dont buy malibu for long time.
Possible to get a copy of the help with the cost of a new and that you are doing well I hope you get some rest today and that you will be able to make the cost of the phone you have a good night at work babe I love you so much baby I love you
The malibu of 2013 and higher was a bulky box. i drive a cruze myself, but the new malibu looks so tempting for driving. Although i don't see them much on roads, i see more altimas, camry and accords . Guess the gulf prefers japanese over american vehicles. Wouldn't mind trading my cruze for an upgrade.
people buy Altima for driving dynamics..low seating , less maintenance and tons of cargo and back seat space...finally robust reliability with good re sell value...all this lack in chevy just looks and colors will not attract buyers...
I have a Chevy Malibu but one on fire for no apparent reason while I was driving 20 miles an hour, I was treated very poorly by GM I went and bought a Nissan altimo . I don’t trust Chevy anymore and the way I was treated is disgraceful they were called bones in my book. I believe it was due to the stop Start ignition ,It is not normal for a car to burst into flames with only 18,000 miles on a Chevy sucks
Friend of mine had a Chevy something, driver's airbag opened up for no reason while driving, almost cost her her life. Need I say that she will never own a Chevy again. Not saying that they're all like this, but it's happened to her.
Totally disagree with this review. I'm starting to think that Autoguide are Chevy fanboys in disguise. The Malibu is a hideous looking vehicle compared to the Altima, just take a look at the rear of these new models in traffic, gross. Wonder why they didn't show any shots of this car from the rear. Also, the base interior in comparison to the Altima is night and day. Com'on, Chevy is known for cheap and unreliable cars, just take a look at the Sonic. There is no way on earth, the Malibu and it's lackluster turbo charged, base model engine beats the Altima.
Shane2907 Altima all the way,nicest car you can get for the price.Maintaince is a big factor and being easy on the car and it will last a long long time!!
Ok. I have a Chevy Malibu and all I can say is that this car is Awesome in all aspects. The LT version y cooler than premier it looks so much sporty and i think it's a super car.
Today 3 years later I wonder if you still would say the same, my question is because I just bought a 2016 TL1 and I am a little worry about the life spam
I drove the Altima for a week one thing I love about Nissan is the fact that smart key access and push button come standard even on the base s model. The steering is a little heavy and the seats are comfortable. for long trips though it's tolerable but starts to hurt after a while Now for the CVT it's true the transmission does suck no question about it however two things I like about it 1) Very little drone and it's great on fuel economy. 2) Sport mode is enough to get you on the highway it's just something I wouldn't leave the transmission in all the time. All in all both Cars are great just depends on which one you like better and what your personal needs are
Just got a 2016 Altima SV. I'm enjoying it so far. I'm coming from a older 2000 Maxima SE. So to me it's quite a upgrade!! I admit the older automatic transmission ran a bit smoother on my old Maxima during its good years, but I do notice a difference with the CVT and it will take some getting used to. I do like the sports mode but like you mentioned I do feel its something not to use too much because of how the transmission tends to redline more between gears in that mode. Just hope I made a good investment with this car since I'm constantly reading mixed reviews of it.
Hello... I own the Malibu 2016 .... I love it ... engine is very quiet ..sometimes I dont know if its running or not when Im outside .... 4 cyl... great on fuel... turbo great passing power... a nice car for just riding around on hi way.... I keep up with oil change... I feel thats important.... I love the keyless entry... just push the button on door handle to... lock and unlock doors.... remote start is great in winter months..... I up graded the headlights for better night driving ... a nice car......
talk about a paid advertising review. the Malibu is one of the worst in that class when it comes to performance but now a days people buy cars for the bells and whistles
Details aside, most cars in the Mid-sized family car class look a LOT alike, particularly their silhouettes. And don't say it lie it bad thing. 1) the Malibu was moving in that styling direction for quite a while, 2) the 200 is/was a very good looking car.
Not a fan of the Altima style. Their current familial face is rather ugly. Malibu looks really sleek and distinctive inside and out. Unfortunately, it has a nonsensical tiny turbo motor that's less efficient and more technically complicated than the Altima's 2.5L 4cyl.
That interior to me looks ugly in the Malibu. The one in the Altima looks boring but it just looks better to my eyes. The Malibu looks like a weird pod in the metal with a bunch of buttons.
I own a 2013 Altima SL. My two complaints is the cvt trans, it sucks, and it has the worst heater of any car I’ve owned, other than that it’s a ok car for the most part. When it was new I got 39 and 34 mpg, now I get 27 and 33. The car is not made for cold weather.
For me I like the side and back view of the Altima... I don’t like its interior. I like the front, side and back view of the Malibu along with the interior. But it’s just a matter of opinion.
Great Video! I would probably prefer the Malibu over the Altima. The Altima is beginning to look outdated and the interior styling is certainly on the conservative side. While in the Malibu, you have a much more style forward interior as well as a more stylistic exterior in my eyes. I am surprised that a engine with a smaller displacement and turbocharged gets worse fuel economy than a 2.5L Naturally Aspirated engine. It might be the difference in weight and possibly the transmission choice. Both vehicles deserve a look but, I would wait until Nissan fully redesigns the Altima. Keep up the great work AutoGuide! -DriveAndBeDriven "The Quest To Record The Best!"
DriveAndBeDriven Last I checked the malibu is lightest in class with its base engine. So it can't be the weight difference, that makes the better fuel economy. Otherwise it would be the malibu with the higher mpg. It's the cvt that is making the altimas fuel economy go up.
That 2016 Malibu Is Different Than Mine Because the trims the LT Has The bigger radio system I wish they had made a LTZ Trim On The New Malibu the 2016 Malibu Limited LTZ Has A Ugly Back light. I have a 2017 Malibu LS And that has metallic radio version. I have to say about the Malibu the LT Version got a bigger radio the LS Has Metalic Radio system the 2016-2018 Altima Looks Really Ugly
NISSAN NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THIS..... I own a 2010 and love it since new. I would love to buy a new one, but I hate the lights. It really needs to look like the 2017 Maxima lights , the LED. Even Civic have impressive led lights, ford, Hyundai, chevy and much more have way better lights. Lets see what happens in 2018 ?????
ponchoman49 Hondas are known to last for over 300,000 miles. The only Chevy car that might last that long is their trucks. I guess your friends aren't taking good care of their cars
The Malibu's interior was designed by high school kids overnight. Take off the malibu badge, nobody can tell what the hell it is. There is absolutely nothing "WOW" about the Malibu. The 2017 Malibu is priced at $34,000, are u fucking crazy. You can pay the same price for the Audi A3, Accord, Camry, BMW, Infiniti. Why the hell would you even buy a Malibu?
When it comes to looks, I'd pick the Altima. the Chevy looks sad in front and the Altima looks more stylish. technology wise, I'd pick the Chevy coz it has the CarPlay.
Good luck with that Nissan. Have owned 2 Nissans and both fcked me up. 2005 Pathfinder failed radiator lead to failed transmission. 2003 Altima transmissions failed at 83k miles.
2003 Pathfinder with 233k, no problems. 2009 Pathfinder with 170K, no problems. 2004 Maxima with 140K, no problems. Stop neglecting the maintenance of your vehicles, then they won't break.
i am sorry but the chevy looks like an old man cool car the altima looks so much better the fusion,altima,mazda 6,accord they all look beter than the chevy
I was looking at an Altima before eventually going with the Malibu. The interior of the Altima is just so boring and lacks creativity. Interior of the Malibu is what ultimately what made me choose that over the Altima. As far as body style I think the Altima wins that but the Malibu wins everything else
I rented a 2016 Altima 2.5s for 3 days. I was not impressed with the driving dynamic. The ride was okay. The CVT sucked. I also owned a 2015 outback 3.6R. The CVT in the Outback is definitely better. Overall, I personally would not buy an Altima myself.
occckid123 , I am not comparing the torque or horsepower. Just felt like the CVT from the Altima was not delivering the horse power smoothly. I guess I just don't like CVT overall. I rather drive my old 2005 4 cylinder accord with 5 speed automatic then driving the new Altima.
I looked that the Chevy right before I got a Altima and then realized that the altima feels better when its driving at higher speeds, and the same thing when I was about to get a Equinox but then settled on a Rogue
Malibu blows the Altima out of the water interior and tech wise. First off has Android Auto where Altima has nothing and a OLD style center display. Stock audio is also a MAJOR upgrade over the Altima unless you spend extra for their Bose upgrade and it's not worth it. The interior is old and boring like he stated, and has alot of basic features where the Malibu has more modern and better upgrades included in base model. I have a 2017 Malibu LT and my sister just got a 2017 Altima SV, the only thing I like about the Altima is blind spot sensors built in, but it's rear camera line does not move with wheels ( if I turn my steering wheel right the line bends right so I see more accurately where I'm going in reverse ) the Altima is a straight line and does not change which is a bug weakness because if you're reversing into a tight spot, that will not help guide you as good ( she nearly hit a pole that I never have a issue with since I can see the angle the car is going in )
Malibu drives smoother😩I just had both of them as rentals 🚘 I had the 2019 Malibu first and now I have the 2018 Altima now🙏🏾
Is this the guy from bad santa? 🤔
I was thinking Frank Caliando's brother. :)
I rented the Malibu to go to Disneyland and I really liked it. It went over the grapevine without any problems, it was really a nice car.
I was able to achieve 40.04 mpg in my 2016 altima sl over 700 miles with four people, two traffic jams, and head on gusty winds for around 200 miles...it's quite and very comfortable on long journey

I’ve made a game of trying to beat that score.

I like Malibu's better in my opinion
Malibu's cheaper and fuel economy.
Altima is alot better!!!! It's design cues is attractive great gas mileage and pretty quick for a 4 banger
This 1.5T should be a sport choice for the Cruze. So it could compete better with Sentra SRT, the new Elantra Sport and Honda Civic.
Malibu wins hands down, a far superior interior to that of the Altima and Fusion, best in class connectivity and tech when compared to ford, nissans, and Toyota's offerings, better sound isolation when compared to Honda and fords offerings, and the Malibu is one of the lightest and largest entries in this segment especially when compared t the cramped fusion.

This isn’t true. It’s designed to withstand it.
limitations of the youtube audio notwithstanding, road rumble seemingly is more audible in the malibu. wind noise seems more audible in the altima.

He looks like the kid from....Bad Santa.
I loved this review
This guy doesn't know his arse from his elbow! The Nissan is much better than the Chevy, especially in reliability and styling.
When it comes to looks, I'd pick the Altima. the Chevy looks sad in front and the Altima looks more stylish. technology wise, I'd pick the Chevy coz it has the CarPlay.
Good luck with that Nissan. Have owned 2 Nissans and both fcked me up. 2005 Pathfinder failed radiator lead to failed transmission. 2003 Altima transmissions failed at 83k miles.
2003 Pathfinder with 233k, no problems. 2009 Pathfinder with 170K, no problems. 2004 Maxima with 140K, no problems. Stop neglecting the maintenance of your vehicles, then they won't break.
Tho Le maintenance maintenance
i am sorry but the chevy looks like an old man cool car
the altima looks so much better
the fusion,altima,mazda 6,accord they all look beter than the chevy
Most other sources would not agree including me.
and lets not count how long it will last
tinleo333 LMAO the fusion is trash. it would be impressive 8 years ago.
You can make your own video for that opinion. That's his opinion so you can't contest that.
I think the Chevy Malibu looks better in and out. Cant stand CVT's either. I think the Chevy Malibu will be more reliable.
Chevy somehow has a better CVT. Of course, not like they had a high bar to clear
I was looking at an Altima before eventually going with the Malibu. The interior of the Altima is just so boring and lacks creativity. Interior of the Malibu is what ultimately what made me choose that over the Altima. As far as body style I think the Altima wins that but the Malibu wins everything else
La Capone so far it’s holding up good. Got it two years ago only at 32,000 miles. Had a recall for spark plugs so far but that’s really been it
Ill go with altima
The Altima doesn't have all the power 179 hr not 182
Dude the Altima has 186 horsepower.
Ford is cancelling the Fusion so the Malibu is the only America family sedan available.
Malibu exits the market in 2024.
The comparison is right at the point where both cars are ugly and boring
I just did 4700 k in this car. My second trip with this car. I like it
Which car?
We have a Altima,love it,no problem at all
For how long you have it?
I rented a 2016 Altima 2.5s for 3 days. I was not impressed with the driving dynamic. The ride was okay. The CVT sucked. I also owned a 2015 outback 3.6R. The CVT in the Outback is definitely better. Overall, I personally would not buy an Altima myself.
why would you compare a 4 cyl to a 3.6 v6. your experiences in a v6 will be much better because of all the extra tq it has.
occckid123 , I am not comparing the torque or horsepower. Just felt like the CVT from the Altima was not delivering the horse power smoothly. I guess I just don't like CVT overall. I rather drive my old 2005 4 cylinder accord with 5 speed automatic then driving the new Altima.
Tony Tyan I bet you the v6 altima will take that subaru though, Nissan's are quick yo, don't mess with the v6
Sorry Charlie, Japanese engineering is going to trump General Motors any day. Video bought and paid for by General Motors Corporation.
Thank you brother!
very good review! tks
I went in to ask if this is the child in the movie "bad santa"
I looked that the Chevy right before I got a Altima and then realized that the altima feels better when its driving at higher speeds, and the same thing when I was about to get a Equinox but then settled on a Rogue
Malibu wins!!
the way thus reviewer articulates his sentences drives me nuts
Malibu blows the Altima out of the water interior and tech wise. First off has Android Auto where Altima has nothing and a OLD style center display. Stock audio is also a MAJOR upgrade over the Altima unless you spend extra for their Bose upgrade and it's not worth it. The interior is old and boring like he stated, and has alot of basic features where the Malibu has more modern and better upgrades included in base model. I have a 2017 Malibu LT and my sister just got a 2017 Altima SV, the only thing I like about the Altima is blind spot sensors built in, but it's rear camera line does not move with wheels ( if I turn my steering wheel right the line bends right so I see more accurately where I'm going in reverse ) the Altima is a straight line and does not change which is a bug weakness because if you're reversing into a tight spot, that will not help guide you as good ( she nearly hit a pole that I never have a issue with since I can see the angle the car is going in )
The Malibu looks like it’s for female college students.
I'm wider than most people had me cracking ip!
The only Malibu that I like and looks decent is the Premier trim I want one.
Rashaud L. I know me too! Or an impala premier those are clean
the malibu interior looks like a kia rio the old one was much much better
Excellent review.
Malibu domestic is always more for your money especially tech
Never saw a Nissan w 200 ona dash
