@@DoubleGFinese Nothing major, no.. I’ve had to replace tires due to running something over lol but other than that I’ve been keeping up with the maintenance, like oil changes, little things like that.. I’ve had car for over a year now and it still works good!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽
@@levonyoung3749 The car is still running good after a year of me having it.. I’ve had to do minor maintenance such as oil changes and replacing tires but other than that she’s still running good!!
I honestly think the 2013 Chevy Malibu looks great It's not supposed to be a JDM car or a Muscle car I had a chance to drive a friend's and it handled great , steering felt good and the car handled and kept up perfectly with traffic on the highway and it's a really comfortable car . I loved how quiet it is inside . I'm really considering buying a Malibu and getting rid of my ageing Ford Focus . I honestly think Chevy did a great job designing this car .
Losingthedamnweight cost. though even for that your going out of the way if you buy that shit base model. my 1lt cruze has leather wrapped steering. I dont know why the malibu doesn't lol.
I would get the new Impala if I was going to buy a Chevrolet family sedan. Compared to the Malibu the new Impala is much better. More room, More power. Better interior.. A little bit more expensive to but I think it's worth it. The next gen malibu can't come soon enough.
My first had one of these with over 120k miles, and he’s the type of person that doesn’t really care about cars. This thing is a tank just keeps going or at least his does
I got a 2014 Malibu 2 LT. My biggest problem with it is not the car itself. I love that thing. I call her Whitney. I got during my last year in high school back in 2019. I put Camaro rims on it and when its not being messed up by Chevrolet, that thing is a smooth riding girl. She is quiet, smooth (surprisingly with 20 inch wheels), and surprisingly peppy to me. It's Chevrolet and their technicians that give me problems. Things that should be easy fixes turn into disasters that cost me more than it should. Luckily not all of their locations are bad and I recently switched to a more reliable dealer. They do take long as fuck but I'm satisfied when the job is done. I need that car to last because I got a long college life ahead of me. And mommy daddy grocery getters and stubby little crossovers of today are not cutting it.
I feel you came into the review with a bias. now in saying that i was only interested in the engine performance and every body is pretty much on the same line so thank you.
Although the car is a bit boring, its target comfort over sportiness and everybody is not looking for a sporty car. The only thing this car really need is make the rear seat more room which they did for 2014 models.
I have never been a Malibu fan although I like Chevy. This new design that they have come out with is a far cry from the older design. I like them if I went to buy this car it would just be my commuter car but I would get the LTZ trim. I'd drive this to work or grocery store. And then on the weekend Break out with my Cadillac or Jaguar.
It's a dependable car that families can afford and drive for 6-8 year without much of an issue. I would rate the engine and drivetrain as far as dependability above most in this class.This is why families continue to buy a bland rental car in such high numbers.
People buy this car because its cheaper then the competitor. These people don't care about the latest gadgets and technology in a vehicle. As long as the vehicle gets them from Point A to B and it reliable they are happy. These people aren't picky on their vehicle (to a slight degree) either. They would just rather save their money or spend their money on other things more important to them.
You're too negative man advice balance your commenting out note the good and bad .. Didnt finish video bc so boring when all you do is boast about other cars .
I’m counting the times he says vanilla. I’m always looking to offend someone! 2 things do they make an aftermarket exhaust that is obscenely aggressive and obnoxiously annoying to people easy easily offended? Second does the cubby hole behind screen fit a subcompact 9mm? Asking for a friend.
There's Government Motors finest. Even after bankruptcy and robbing the general population blind of it's tax dollars GM still can't get things right. The new ATS and CTS have horrible shiny plastic trim on their interiors and this car still looks too rental like. Recalls are at an all time high for GM too.
A string of last-place comparison test finishes and overwhelmingly negative reviews of the Malibu has proven than GM doesn't take this segment seriously enough to bother building a decent midsize car. Everything about this car says "half-assed effort".
Ugh i deal with these all the time now working at Enterprise and i really do hate them. The ergonomics and seating position in this car is annoying. It has a decent ride to it but falls short to practically everything in its class
Why was this generation of the Malibu only made from 2013-2015, whereas previous generations of the Malibu were made for more than 3 years? Was this generation unreliable or something?
It's actually been made for 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 - the 2016 in this style is called Malibu Limited. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Malibu#Eighth_generation_.282013.E2.80.932016.29
Every time I think I might want a GM car again (after witnessing parents' experiences with almost a dozen cars over decades of time) something happens. This time, it's 'BONG-BONG-BONG', and I really don't need to see the gauges sweep. There are the commercials snickering at bicyclists (Chevy), snotty entitled rich bashing the working class (Cadillac 'Volt'). Not to mention the fail in the products themselves, this example being lack of interior space, an unresponsive transmission, a horrible grating sound from the engine bay.
Ever since the Malibu was introduced or I should say reintroduced in uhhhhh, 1997 I believe? (Who cares? No one remembers...) it has consistently been one of, if not always the least impressive midsize sedan on the market. Why anyone would buy this is just beyond me. The only reason anyone would buy this is if they have a hard on for GM, they want a midsize sedan, and they're too stupid to buy an Impala, which is better. There is nothing, and I mean nothing cool or redeeming about a Malibu.
I like the Malibu. But i like the Impala way bwtter. For some reason i feel like the Impala has that more it. Factor. Would really like the 2015 Mustang and Charger. But i already gotta Mustang. So charger i might be stuck witcha
Companies tend to advertise their top trim models all the time, combined with the base model price though... so it is nice to see reviews on what you really get for the advertised price, as well as sometimes be able to compare different trims (which he reviewed on some cars)
I dont get why hes so hard on Chevy, its not their fault their broke due to bankruptcy and bailouts... oh wait, yeah it is. Lol GM as a whole is shit. For less money and better bang for your buck, I would definately go for either a Ford Fusion or VW Jetta GLI, sportier, more economic, and actually nice to look at :)
You'd think with such a beautiful sedan and top level engineering that GM would be killing it with these cars. Just kidding. Goodbye Malibu. Goodbye Chevy cars.
I own this vehicle as of yesterday!! My very first car ever!! So far it drives nice and feels great!! 😎👍🏽
Been keeping up on the maintenance for the car as well, and so far so good! 🥰🫶🏽🙌🏽
Have you had to replace anything ? Congrats btw too
This might be my first car what do you think of it a year later?

Nobody wants to hear you down Chevy the whole time! If you don't like Chevy have somebody else review it.
Might as well have gotten Andrew Dice Clay to do this review....atleast it would have been funny to hear him rip this car
If I had a dollar for every time he said "Vanilla"
I think if this guy had to say something positive about a car i think his head would explode.
He talks so negative about every car he reviews. What's the point then
3 minutes into the video and im already tired of hearing you say vanilla...
I honestly think the 2013 Chevy Malibu looks great
It's not supposed to be a JDM car or a Muscle car
I had a chance to drive a friend's and it handled great , steering felt good and the car handled and kept up perfectly with traffic on the highway and it's a really comfortable car . I loved how quiet it is inside . I'm really considering buying a Malibu and getting rid of my ageing Ford Focus . I honestly think Chevy did a great job designing this car .
Did you get 1 yet?
@@riverariviera9907 I’m getting one next month
J VASZE - Topic I was going to get 1 I ended up getting a 2014 Ford Explorer! Now I’m ready for the winter woot woot
say vanilla one more time
Lol
Yeah for fucking real
Exactly like baby stfu 😒
ON GOD IT GOT ME CRINGIN AND BUGGIN TF OUT
Vanilla. And he didn’t like the GM bong upon start up. Unreal!
"very vanilla" is now stuck in my head and i am furious about it
This is an LS NOT an LT. LT has part leatherette seats and projector headlamps standard. Know which car you're reviewing please.
Joel BIelecki it’s the 1lt which is base so no it doesn’t have all that
Luh Reggie this is the LS
Thank u i knew I wasn’t tripping
I definitely rather have a Fusion or Mazda 6.
I don't know why anyone would choose this car over a fusion or 6. They would literally be going out of their way to buy crap
Losingthedamnweight cost. though even for that your going out of the way if you buy that shit base model. my 1lt cruze has leather wrapped steering. I dont know why the malibu doesn't lol.

***** what to expect on a car that's already been used by millions of people xD
My first had one of these with over 120k miles, and he’s the type of person that doesn’t really care about cars. This thing is a tank just keeps going or at least his does
I bet he loves the vanilla all over his face
Awesome review I have a 2011 Malibu and I love it. Sure it's got typical gm plastics but it doesn't bother me I still enjoy my car very much

2013 they had some issues road noise , speakers not working hub bearings but over all a nice car.
GM needs to get their act together and stop making cars as cheap as they can and start focusing on making them as good as they can.
They have...
he hating hard on this car
how many times did he say "vanilla"
This was my first car i love it, say what ya want its all on tha driver and knowledge.
"It's a little vanilla" that's a thing people say now? Lol
I feel you came into the review with a bias. now in saying that i was only interested in the engine performance and every body is pretty much on the same line so thank you.
GM is trying to impress with this redesigned Malibu because Ford is eating a large chunk of their profits for this class in the domestic market.
Wow.... I........ love this car..
Although the car is a bit boring, its target comfort over sportiness and everybody is not looking for a sporty car. The only thing this car really need is make the rear seat more room which they did for 2014 models.
I wonder what kind of flavor Asian this dude is. Sick hair.
u sick cannibal
chuck Norris
LMFAO
As a person who live in asian country, after seeing in person, well damn this car is dope! Gonna add to my wish list.. xD
We all can agree he's definitely not a Chevy guy...and hasn't been laid in a decade

I had no idea my wip was vanilla
You're too negative man advice balance your commenting out note the good and bad .. Didnt finish video bc so boring when all you do is boast about other cars .
I love your car reviews. Can you please make a video on a 2015 Chevy Malibu LT.
This is a ls the LT has leather on the side bolsters of the seat
Wouldn't it be a 1LS due to no touch screen?
There is no 1LS model but yeah I think he is testing the LS but said its the LT
lol i always refer to the base model as a 1.
I’m counting the times he says vanilla. I’m always looking to offend someone!
2 things do they make an aftermarket exhaust that is obscenely aggressive and obnoxiously annoying to people easy easily offended?

Vanilla is a favor for wafers. Tasty...I hate it when people use the word Vanilla as an insult.
That 6AT is not smooth at all, it is a really stupid transmission
I see this review has brought out the ignorant trolls.
currently own this car and it's a piece of trash
The chime sound is fine:)
That’s my favorite part

I take it this dude don't like vanilla
Leather Stitching? Is the thread really leather?
Could you not get the 2014 model? What happened there?
Good review.
A string of last-place comparison test finishes and overwhelmingly negative reviews of the Malibu has proven than GM doesn't take this segment seriously enough to bother building a decent midsize car. Everything about this car says "half-assed effort".
Isnt this front wheel drive
You would make bad salesman lol I wouldn’t buy from you
Is it reliable or garbage?
These really aren't bad cars, they refreshed the front for 2014 and it looks a lot better. It really is just a generic car, though.
Does this car have a aux? I know it’s Bluetooth
The intro to your vids is very annoying - too loud too soon!
I've driven the TURBO model and it's a COMPLETELY different "animal", do not get the regular Malibu!!
@6:38 isnt this the 2.0 turbo engine??
The Chevy Malibu and the Mazda6 are the only mid size family sedans to have hinges that are hidden
He said vanilla 5 times
Is the rattling noise from your recording gears or the car?
Camera mounts. In all of his vids.
Ugh i deal with these all the time now working at Enterprise and i really do hate them. The ergonomics and seating position in this car is annoying. It has a decent ride to it but falls short to practically everything in its class
my 2013 Cruze just got recalled this morning and I was suppose to be notified in march but I never was Chevy really sucks
You didnt mention if it had Bluetooth for the radio
Nice rental car
atb102798 but hey, its not a mercedes xD
This review is sooo "vanilla"
9 seconds to 60 is false. It does it between 7 and 7.5.
Would you prefer a Camry over this?
Yes
Watch for the despicable Fairfax police sir (I am being polite here). Great review!
Too much of a sissy voice for me. Next...
Why was this generation of the Malibu only made from 2013-2015, whereas previous generations of the Malibu were made for more than 3 years? Was this generation unreliable or something?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Malibu#Eighth_generation_.282013.E2.80.932016.29
It wasn’t necessary unreliable but they lacked modern features like the rear vents.
This review was def biased lol.
He shoulda just called it Chevrolet Vanilla

Review the MKV Passat Volkswagen please!

do the new accord v6 next
I prefer the previous gen Impala over this.
I'd rather get the prev gen to this based on looks
that's a LS
I like the Malibu. But i like the Impala way bwtter. For some reason i feel like the Impala has that more it. Factor.
Would really like the 2015 Mustang and Charger. But i already gotta Mustang.
So charger i might be stuck witcha
Rental Queen with garbage resale value.
i.e. most people
i hate it when people go VROOOOM!! VROOOOOMMM!! wish he didn't have the a/c running in the background during this test drive.
OK dude if all rong because that is a LS model and the reason why I know that is because my mom has the same exact thing
Lol bad day in the office? Where’s the enthusiasm??
0:56 *Vaniluhhhhhh*
You have the best reviews!
It's not met to be a race car what are you doing lol.
WTF does Vanilla mean?
Rental car interiors really bug me a lot. GM is the worst offender.
I hate start stop & turbos...
Great review, but may I ask why are you testing the base model? Wouldn't you want to see what the best the company can really offer?
Companies tend to advertise their top trim models all the time, combined with the base model price though... so it is nice to see reviews on what you really get for the advertised price, as well as sometimes be able to compare different trims (which he reviewed on some cars)
most people can't afford the top notch trim. Reviewing the lower trims fit more with what people will buy and what people should expect
What the fuck does vanilla even mean
that is A LS know your cars.
I don't think i've ever seen him so uninterested in doing a review. What a boring car. GM could do so much better.
is this car on recall? no fires?
I dont get why hes so hard on Chevy, its not their fault their broke due to bankruptcy and bailouts... oh wait, yeah it is. Lol GM as a whole is shit. For less money and better bang for your buck, I would definately go for either a Ford Fusion or VW Jetta GLI, sportier, more economic, and actually nice to look at :)
You'd think with such a beautiful sedan and top level engineering that GM would be killing it with these cars.
Just kidding. Goodbye Malibu. Goodbye Chevy cars.
Brahh!! STOP trying to make 'vanilla' happen, its not happening! 'Vanilla' won't happen.*€
Parkth S That is so fetch... Lol
This guy is just so negative focus on the positive
