These cars are perfectly fine. My 2016 has 130,000 miles on it with no problems. Never wait to change the oil until the monitor gets to 0%. Change it at 30-40%. These cars are also ridiculously simple to work on for maintenance. A spark plug service on these is crazy simple for a modern engine. There is also no such thing as “filled for life” transmission fluid. Perform a drain and fill every 30,000 miles.

The 2016 has an automatic transmission. I have a 2019 with the CVT and it’s horrible.

I got the 2020 malibu Lt. Its cajun red tinted windows and all that plus mine has the lane assist rear camera back up and blind spot. Also so u know the + - on the gear shift is manual shift. U just put ur car in low gear then just push the plus to increase and minus to downshift. I put leds in my headlights and now I have a front camera on my rearview that records all the time. These cars are nice. My car at the moment is getting 40 to 49 mpg. Car is super good on gas. On a full tank the total ive ever had was 565 miles to empty. I also have the 1.5l. Change the oil at 40 % life never let it get at 0. Make sure ur tire pressure is at 33 to 35 all round. And every other oil change replace ur filters. Both cabin and engine air filters. Use only full synthetic oil it calls for. never use heavier or lighter oil.mine is 0w20. 4.6 quarts. Use exactly as it says. Go the speed limit. And on long trips or just a few cities away use cruze control when u can the mileage will shock u. Hope this helps.

Great review on the Malibu, I think you should do more reviews on cars especially how crazy the car market has been

Just bought one of these super clean

i have the 2019 is the lt but it has a few upgrades like leather seats rear camera parking sensors and its great with gas BUT when you need to step on the gas it does NOT RESPOND is super slow to where it could be dangerous if you need to speed up to avoid something . but it is a nice car good for roadtrips . 😀

I wish you well on your first car nothing like having a car…. And a lot of responsibility…. I have a 2013 Malibu and I love it…. Gets me where I need to go…. And the sound system is crazy 😜 But yes it’s a good car…. Most people don’t like Chevy cars 🚘 but hey it’s what makes us all different in this world 🌎 if we all was to have the same car??? It would be a bit boring…. Stay well everyone out there…. ✌️

19' Malibu LT also has auto highbeams that turn on when sensor gets little light and auto turns off for oncoming vehicles or when it gets enough light on sensor. You never get flashed for forgetting. Along with the auto stop, it has driver assist keeping you in your lane. Heated leather seats and power seats, power windows and power door mirrors. It has the blind spot sensor warning that comes on in the mirrors. Rear camera for backing up and anti-collision warning light that comes on when it senses the car in front has or slowed down and you are approaching to fast. A red light when illuminate on the driver side windshield. White LED headlights and LED fog lights. Dual temp control for front passenger and driver. The chevy emblem is a black bowtie which is cool. Deep console 4 cup holders and a little slot where your phone can sit. Right between console and cup holders. 4 ports for aux cables and charger. I bought it a couple months ago, it's sleek but like he said it's not very fast. 1.5L eco-tec inline 4 and I've been getting 30mpg/42mpg city/highway. Autostart and fob has a hidden in case fob battery dies. Its a good car if you don't mind not being a road racer. I recommend test driving it during day and night. 👍

Hey Wright I was thinking to buy a Chevy Malibu for driving Uber. I want to drive American and according to the official specs this car has really good gas mileage. Can you give us more detailed info on that? I was quite disappointed when you said it’s terrible, but this video could be very helpful to me. Can you give us your average mpg in city and highway, or just combined would be great too. Cheers man, enjoy your day!

I have to admit that these newer Malibus are quite beautiful. I actually think GM is making the most gorgeous sedans on the road of late: love the looks of the Cadillac XTS, Chevy Malibu, Chevy Impala and Buick Lacrosse. These four models over the last 5 years are beautiful to look at.

for the gas cap what happens if someone opens it when you're not around and they start putting stuff(like rocks) in it because ik that gas cap doesn't have a lock
