I just had a Malibu as a rental car and I was thoroughly impressed.

I have a fully loaded 2017 Malibu Premier and the new 9 speed makes a big difference. 0 to 60 comes in at 5.3 seconds and the quarter mile comes in at 14.3 at almost 100 mph and top speed is drag limited at 153 mph pretty dam impressive for the 2.0 Turbo. So far with 11,000 miles this car is perfect. Some comment they rather drive a Mazda 6, well Mazda finally upgraded there car with a better motor, same horsepower but more torque then the 2.0 Malibu but to bad the Mazda is about 1 1/2 seconds slower to 60 than the Malibu. That's because Mazda decided to stay with there old 6 speed transmission and the car is even slower to reach the quarter mile. I'll take my Premier anytime. Once the Trifecta tune is installed another 50 horsepower added the car will then run under 5 seconds to 60, what a sleeper.

im getting a trifecta tune on my malibu 2.0 in january, i cant wait. its super fast stock though, i got up to 156 MPH in mine

I just bought a 2017 Premiere - very nice car with huge year end discounts. 27% off sticker. That's $9,200 off on a $35,300 sticker. The car is has every feature you can think of.

Would you prefer the 2017 chevrolet Malibu premier or 2017 dodge charger sxt plus?

love the interior, much nicer than what you get in the fusion or Camry with more soft touch points and far better connectivity.

Thanks for the comment. That is a beautiful car.

Good job! Very thorough! Thanks!

better looking interior over the fusion

Nice review

Can’t imagine That interior when it’s gets dirty!

Hey Cameron. Great Review. I am very surprised at the missing HID or LED headlamp option. At 36k, that should be standard. Also, the interior color shows off too much cost cutting. Maybe if the interior was black, it would hide it a little better.

canonlybeme4life The previous gen Malibu had HID headlights on the top trim but not this one... That's one thing that's always bugged me about GM they're never consistent with anything especially in the interior in some models...

I mean thanks for the video.

great cars, very fast for only 250 horsepower

if that is the same 2.0 turbo that was in the Cobalt SS then it should run really really good, I had a cobalt with the 2.0L turbo and it was fast and got great gas mileage.

I just watched another review of this same car and that guy said the Malibu Premier had HID headlights.

Why the hell Camry still doesn't have Android auto and car play?

I didn't know malibus come with black wheels too. I saw that red one.

It looks like now a special option from the dealer. A set of black 18'' or 19'' rims are probably $2-3K (most likely without TPMS sensors or tires).

@Camerons Car Reviews no xenon hid's makes it feel more basic. you would think it would have the xenon's like the impala does when it's dressed up in the right trim

Good review. Is the 2.0T faster than it's competion, Camry and Accord? Has this car had any known trouble areas and how is reliability?

@@Bleacherzzz can elaborate on the problems you had? sounds very vague. and i know quite a few people with these cars and with equinoxes which are the same vehicles just taller, but mechanically identical, and the first thing out of their mouths before anything else is how reliable they are. so this sounds very suspect, you sure youre not an incognito ford guy?

is that an empty light above the turn signal? (white spot) looks like there's no bulb whatsoever. If so, what's the point of Chevy putting it there? I also noticed this on the new Cruze.

I said CLA, not C class. Cameron did a review on Nov 14th, of the CLA, I'd much rather get that car on looks alone. CLA's start in the very low 30K range. Also take a look at that sticker he showed on this Malibu, it was 36k, um, that's crazy. So yes they can be loaded up past 35k apparently.

CLA lol, a small car? you're comparing a mid sized car with every single option to a bare bones small car? hmmm not only having driven many CLA's their interiors are not much better than many of the MID sized entries in this segment, its basically's mercs entry level car with the cheapest interior and lowest build quality in the merc line up. just because it has a merc badge does not make fo leather and plastics any less those things ;)

It is just the packages with the Premier trim, we have an identically optioned car to this, only ours is nightfall gray with the black leather, and ours says 2LZ on the sticker, but if you look at a Premier that is not fully loaded it is a 1LZ.

for 36 you could get a Chevy Colorado 4wd

You haven't seen the Titanium fusion then.

1.I hate their ugly layout of website and poor quality when looking up specs and especially build & price. You already know this if you been other brands' websites 2. Too many damn packages to add up to get specific features on American manufacturers when compared to some other brands where you can see clear and easy trim levels etc.

I'd rather have a Mazda 6

Ford's leading the way.
