2018 Chevrolet Malibu AT LTZ Review - Behind the Wheel
AutoDeal.com.ph:
Debut in the 60’s, it was name after a
coastal community in California
Sadly it’s named however in the Philippines
as the butt of some jokes
as people like to add a G to the end
Sorry
Now on their latest generation, Chevrolet says it has
better fuel efficiency connectivity and safety features
more than ever before. Let’s find out what they are going on about
In this, the 2018 Malibu
The HID’s with Intellibeam are housed in a smaller frame
which compliments the smaller slats that are found
all over the front clip. Now, there is no large gap to speak of
to allow the air in but the four mentioned slats are equal to the task
Unique to the car, are the lights down here which are
your actually DRL’s and too is the emblem, the very proud emblem
I should say because it is textured and ribbed
Sorry but it does feel very cool
Even the keys emblem has texture
Nitpick if I may there is just one aspect on the front clip
that I don’t really appreciate
There’s a line that can be found on the hood that stretches
all the way down pass the emblem and to the chin
How much does it bug me? Well, not that much
Down on the side you’ll notice two lines that begin at the front doors
and slowly but surely taper as you get to the rear
Given the car a very streamlined, very fluidic look
Now the car does sit on 18-Inch mags fitted with 45 series tires
Now if you take that and combined it with this
beautiful fastback right here and this sharp departure angle
it does make for a very good looking stance
Now for some, the rear overhang might be much but
there is good reason for that
In fact, there is 447L of reasons, now it’s not the largest capacity
in this class but it’s certainly not the smallest
Space good enough that that can hold Professor Klump
However, getting him in that might be a problem through this
Renee Zellweger lips, kinda tight
Golf bags even two, not a problem. Medium sized suitcases
Not a problem however anything larger than that
You might need Steven Tyler lips and that’s a completely different story
Oh! Worth mentioning, the two exhaust, tucked away very nicely in chrome. Very nice touch
Now the toys back here include 2 cupholders on the center armrest
You got 2 air vents right here, 2 USB charging ports and a 12V socket
There are also speakers on either door and 2 more speakers behind the passengers
Now that’s 4 out of the 9 speakers in total inside the car
Now, the wheelbase of this car is actually 4-Inches longer
than the previous model which is checkout this legroom
It’s ridonculous. There’s enough space in here to fit
two large adults easily and even an average size adult in the center
Thanks to the low tunnel found in the ground
Safety? Yup! Apart from the standard airbags found upfront
There are also airbags found on the B pillars and either side of the rear seats
Not bad
The color scheme is the first thing that may not catch your attention
because it’s pretty subdue really
its got grays and browns, very comfortable, very laid back
Now your 4 gauges upfront and your trip computer
along with the air controls are, well they’re pretty adequate
as too are the buttons found on the steering wheel
different though in the fact that they’re all the same height
covered by a thin rubber film so that it is non-slip that’s pretty cool
You also got your dual pane sunroof and your 2 cupholders upfront
and loads of cubby spaces that you can put all your knick knacks
Including actually a very smart way to put your umbrella away
Now, not only are the front seats comfortable
because they can knock Vincent down in 5 minutes or less
but they can also accommodate much taller people
Now, you’d expect the driver to have power right
Well, the passenger seat has power too, in fact both of them can move
back and down to accommodate much taller people
and not only does the driver have lumbar support, so does the passenger
The lumbar support comes out so much that it can be like a basketball
at your back say put it at number four and it can retract all the way in
to the same number of wins that the Cavs have in the 2018 finals, which is zero
I’m gonna get flanked for that aren’t they? Meh, it’s the truth
The 8-Inch screen which also doubles as your reverse camera by the way
and is extremely clear I must add, also has the Mylink system which is a
breeze to use, in fact we find that it’s one of the easier head units that we’ve ever had to test
On any of the units that we’ve gotten, it’s really fun to use
and while you’re using it, you can also charge your phone
with the wireless system down here, it might be difficult for bigger phones
such as a Note or anything larger than that, but the smaller wireless units, not a problem
The one thing that I have to add about this unit is that
The whole thing is integrated into dash very very well
it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb and that I gotta say
that I do love
Under the hood, there’s only one engine variant available in the Philippines
which is an inline 4 2L Turbocharged gasoline engine
which produces 250horses and 353 Nm of Torque
in an executive sedan, not bad
but even with all that power, in and out of the dreaded weekend traffic of Metro Manila
The Malibu was still able to do 10km/l. Frugal
Apart of the ease of which Chevy’s Mylink is just a joy to use
whether your an Apple user or an Android user and it also has 9 speakers
that’s around the car which are all Bose, louder than kids on a Saturday morning
it also has the following technologies
Its got adaptive cruise, its got lane keep assist, emergency braking
and semi autonomous parking to name a few
Oh! And get this, there are also 12 sensors all around the car
so that even Catherine Zeta Jones could not escape these guys
The level of comfort driving Malibu is well, is pretty good
The steering is light yet it’s not disconnected from the road
Yes, there are some cheap plastics that can be found all around the cabin
and the road noise does kinda creep up just a little bit
But it does not take away from the very comfortable leather seats
As a driver you have really very little to complain about
and even much less as a passenger
There are no paddle shifters to speak of, in fact it’s a bit confusing
when you run your fingers down the back of the steering wheel
where you’ll find audio controls
Now to manually change gears and provide you with a more sport feel
Pop the transmission into L which activates the plus minus selectors on the shifter
Fuel efficient? Check. Safety? Big check. Connectivity? Check
the Chevrolet Malibu LTZ is available at P2,131,888
Now it’s a bit pricey yes I understand, not the cheapest thing out there
But it’s also not the most executive sedan available in the Philippines
And you do have to consider that you do get a boatload of toys for the driver
Now, it does also gives us the consumers something that we do
very much appreciate, an option
And regardless of what I think about that line
Yeah, it’s a good looking option
I Can’t Believe I Said This About Chevy
Scotty Kilmer:
rev up your engines
g garner says Scotty what do you
think of the chevy cobalt 4-cylinder not
much okay not for a small engine it puts
out a decent amount of power yes they
don't hold up over time the whole car
itself is a pile of junk and it doesn't
hold up over time if you want to get a
small car that's got some zip and it's
gonna last a long time go buy a Toyota or
Honda they run circles around those
things but on the other hand I always
want to tell people you got options
let's say you're gonna buy you used one
you can pick those things up for down to
nothing and if you don't mind driving
around one if you get it so cheap for
$1,000 $1,500 and it still runs and
shifts okay and it lasts a while now
you're making out okay I mean in a long
run now it's not a good decision but if
you can get one cheap enough what the
heck you're never gonna get a good
Toyota or Honda cheap because everybody
knows they're good cars and they go for
a lot of money use but those things they
got bad reputation for various good
reasons but you can get them dirt cheap
I've had customers buy those old sandals
for $1000 and driving for four or five
years and maybe spend five six hundred
bucks with me fixing them over four
years that's perfectly fine form you
know on their ugly looking cars and
those particularly ones that bashes on
them so they got then real cheap but if
you want a knock around car something like
that could be okay if you get a dirt
cheap but just don't think it's gonna
last forever
and you're gonna be able to drive it for
twenty thirty thousand miles a year and
drive it for years that's not gonna happen
Nick 20s says Scotty what are your
thoughts on discount gasoline sold
Costco Kroger and kwiki gasoline any
good okay every gasoline sold in the
United States has to meet certain
minimum standards its law and generally
in each area there's all you want to
supply or gasoline all the other
companies buy it like shell is the
largest refinery in the world the last
time I checked so a lot of the gasoline
is refined by shell and then say if you
buy Exxon gasoline in your area if shell
made the gasoline your buying shell gas
and the only difference does Exxon is
putting their protect
and it is on top of it and dying at the
color that they want their gasoline to
look so you know it's not like you got
a wide choice it where the actual
gas things coming from anyways it's the
same thing with batteries there's only a
handful of battery manufacturers left
over in the United States so even though
there's 40 different brands if there's
only three companies making them the
brand doesn't really mean up that much
you gotta find out who's making that
brand for gasoline in most areas same
company making all of it,
trade be hey from Canada I got an 06 5
speed manual Volkswagen Jetta 1.9 TDI
with 173 thousand miles on it
hey you're in Canada you're supposed to
say kilometres I'm wondering should I
sell it before it has engine problems or
hold on to it I got a new timing belt
and clutch I change the oil every 5,000
miles and do highway driving what the
heck drive it it's worth very little
with that mileage on it and being 14
years old and you never know I've seen
some of those things with 300,000 miles
on I just say drive it till the wheel
falls off cuz if you try selling up now
you're gonna get nothing for the vehicle
what the heck there's Scotty telling you
to keep a VW that's a rarity I
believe me but it's a standard
transmission it's a diesel it runs just
keep driving it chains and you never
know how long this thing's gonna last
let's you're gonna get much worried if
you sell it and what the heck up you get
years more out of it you're making out
like a bandit, ronald regan, gee I thought
he was dead
hey Scotty my daughter's 2010 Ford
Focus started cranking by a few
seconds normally it starts right up
tried to spray cleaner remedies and it's
slightly better but still randomly
cranks longer does the cleaning helped
of course try it again now if it still
doesn't change the fuel filter first
since the fuel filter gets clogged it'll
do that that doesn't do it
pressure test a fuel pump now you always
have to change the fuel filter and a ten
year old car before you price your test
the fuel pump because if the fuel
filters clogged up you're gonna get
false readings well why don't you change
the filter if that doesn't fix it then
test the fuel pump pressure and if it's low
replace it, it mean design its way out
which is typical when they get to be 10
years old like that it could just be
that the fuel pump is starting to go out
from old age they're electric pumps
after a while they wear out just like
anything else does, flabo I'm cleaning out
my dad's old
garage I found tons of old new stock 62
Ford parts and several cases of oil
transmission fluid in the old metal case
is dated 1971 is that me this oil still
good I mean you might want to use it for
a lawn mower or something if you wanted but
don't do that either,
put in on ebay people collect
stuff like that you won't believe what
people sometimes will pay for these old
cans with the old oil in them and even
the old 1962 Ford parts put it on eBay
you never know what people are gonna bid
for these days and those old metal cans
that they don't make anymore
those are collectors items lots of guys
have museums they want that stuff and
they pay a pretty penny for it why use
it for oil they can get for two dollars
a quart when you don't know what you're
gonna get for that stuff when it's that
old and this is the original can people
collect all kinds of weird stuff these
days they might give some pretty good
money for that stuff so I put it on eBay
if I were you, honest mechanic Scotty my
grandpa's a 69 Firebird 400 hasn't run
in 20 years I want a surprise I'm
getting it run I know I need a battery
plugs tires and brake fluid there I also
need new fuel lines and brake hose lines
what else do I need you want to check
anything that's rubber to see if it's
cracked and stuff cuz you don't want to
be on safe but of course yes to be
perfectly safe you'd have to do the
whole car all the rubber stuff and
that's an awful lot of money so you're
gonna want to clean the gas tank out
there's probably crowd in it putting in
fuel and change the fuel filter I
changed the coolant and you know why all
transmission fluid and then see what
happens because you don't want to go too
far until you see that it's running and
that it's going good once you do all
that don't give it a grandpa drive it
for you know 10 15 20 miles and see if
there's anything that's leaking if
anything's not working correctly and
then kind of go from there because when
you get an old vehicle like that I mean
it's a 69 you kind of restore it
gradually if it's gonna be kind of a toy
car the original equipment cost a
fortune to do and most people aren't
gonna do that you want to make it a safe
car do what I said and then drive it
around for you know 20 30 40 miles and
see how it feels and then
from there, so if you never want to miss

remember to ring that Bell
Here's What I Think About the Chevy Impala in 1 Minute
Scotty Kilmer:
rev up your engines
the pillow mafia says, is it bad that I
prefer the Chevy Impala over Toyota
Avalon and Ford Taurus, well just means
what you mean by bad and how you drive
now you're never gonna get the mileage
out of a Chevy Impala that you will with
a Toyota Avalon, it will fall apart long
before the Toyota, and the Ford Taurus
they were up in the air cars, some years
were excellent, some were pieces of junk
so I mean the Toyotas are so much
better made, now if you have an Impala
and if you drive conservatively, and you
don't put a lot of miles on it, it might
last for years, but customers that I've
had with Impalas, once they had a hundred
thousand miles, generally they started to
fall apart if it was city driving and
they weren't happy, the transmissions
went out, or the engines blew head
gaskets, or the air conditioning
compressor blew up, they really weren't
happy with the cars in the long run, but
if you drive low mileage, no car should
fall apart if you don't put many miles
on it, so if you never want to miss
another one of my new car repair videos,
remember to ring that Bell!
2017 Chevrolet Malibu Review | Features Rundown | Edmunds
Edmunds:
JOSH SADLIER: This is
automotive editor Josh Sadlier
with an Edmunds Expert Rundown
of the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu.
The Malibu is Chevrolet's
mid-size sedan.
Recently redesigned, the
base engine is a 1.5-liter
turbocharged four-cylinder.
We're not so high on that one.
But if you step up to
the Premier trim level,
get the 2-liter turbo,
it's got a lot of power.
It's got a new nine-speed
automatic for 2017.
We're a fan of that one.
Overall, the Malibu
is pretty rewarding
to drive by segment standards.
Can handle itself pretty
well around turns.
Comfortable over bumps.
Significant step up
from Malibu's past.
There's also a hybrid
version of the Malibu.
Obviously, better fuel
economy, but performance
does suffer a bit.
Step inside the
Malibu and you'll
find a reasonably
capacious back seat.
Of course, that's
expected for this segment.
But you'll have
no trouble fitting
a couple of six-footers
side by side,
assuming the people in front
are accommodating about it.
Interior's quality has certainly
improved for this generation.
Previously, the Malibu
was toward the bottom
of the pack in that regard.
Now we consider it competitive.
The eight-inch touchscreen
in the center of the dash
is also a high point.
It's responsive.
It's nice to look at.
One of the better ones
you'll find in this class.
It's not all peaches and
cream with the 2017 Malibu.
Do have some sparse
equipment on base L trim.
Not huge fans of the
outward visibility.
But that's the price
you pay for the styling,
which kind of reminds us of
an Audi A7 if you squint.

2018 Chevrolet Malibu | Features Rundown | Edmunds
Edmunds:
BRYN MACKINNON: I'm Edmund's
Editor Bryn MacKinnon,
and here's a features rundown
of the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu.
Among the four trim levels
and three power trains,
we recommend the
Malibu Hybrid LTE.
It has a good mix of features,
performance, and efficiency.
We also suggest adding
the optional convenience
and technology package.
We found the 1.5
liter base engine
to be a little
weak by comparison
and upgrading to the hybrid
shouldn't break the bank.
We deducted points for
the occasionally clumsy
transmission that can
be sluggish and prone
to odd lurches when
slowing to a stop.
Thick roof pillars and
a high rear deck lid
can cause some issues
for outward visibility.
Our rear-view camera is standard
on all but the base model
Malibu.
The standard Malibus have almost
16-cubic feet of trunk space
which is about
average for the class.
Unfortunately, the hybrid is
reduced to 11.6 cubic feet,
but there is still a rear seat
pass through for longer items.
The rear seats can
accommodate taller passengers,
but the sloping roof line can
make it feel a little confining
back there.
The interior is
pleasantly modern,
but materials quality is only
about average for the class.
We caution against the
lighter colored dashboards
as they can cause some
distracting reflections.
The Chevy MyLink system gets
high marks for its ease of use
as well as the inclusion of
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
You also get a Wi-Fi Hotspot.
The front seats are
firm, yet comfortable
with plenty of lateral support.
They're also very spacious
with little fatigue
to report after several
hours behind the wheel.
Chevy Malibu's top competitors
include Honda Accord,
Toyota Camry, and Mazda 6.
Bottom line-- since it's
completely redesigned
for the 2016 model year,
the latest Chevrolet Malibu
is very competitive in the
midsize sedan category.
Some rivals might boast
better driving dynamics
or more features for the money.
But the Malibu provides a solid
and stylish all-around package.

2016 Chevrolet Malibu | CarGurus Test Drive Review
CarGurus:
Hi, I'm Mike Perkins from CarGurus, and this week I'm driving the all-new 2016
Chevy Malibu Premier. The Malibu actually has one of the stranger stories in car
history.
It started off as a top-tier trim for the rear-wheel-drive Chevelle,
became its own model in 1978, and then died a few years later in '83.
But it popped up again in 1997 as a front-wheel-drive sedan, and while it
still bears the name of that iconic American beachside city, since 2013 the
Malibu has actually been sold and marketed worldwide.
Now in its ninth generation, with more than 10 million Malibus sold over its
51-year history, for 2016 an all-new design incorporates a wheelbase stretch of
nearly 4 inches to combat the frustratingly small rear seats of the previous version.
Chevrolet also says that it's managed to drop nearly 300 pounds from its curb
weight, and it's added two sporty new engines to add a bit of economy in this
very, very competitive midsize segment.
But the changes aren't just physical. This year, the Malibu gets tech upgrades,
like 4G Wi-Fi and wireless cellphone charging, and a ton of safety features,
like a forward-collision avoidance system, rear cross-traffic alert,
and automatic parking. The 2016 Malibu will even brake automatically to avoid a
collision at low speeds, and it'll steer you back into your lane if you wander a
bit too far without indicating first.
It's a little unnerving when it fights your hand,
especially when lines in the road make it think that you're wandering out of
your lane when you're really not, but my guess is I'd be really glad it's there
the first time that I veered a little too far when checking over my shoulder
to prepare to pass.
What's really interesting is the inclusion of the new Teen Driver system.
That's currently exclusive to the 2016 Malibu.
Now what this does is take parental control systems like Ford's MyKey and it
takes it one step further.
Whereas those systems allow you to set limits to top speed and radio volume, and
disallows the ability to disengage any of the various safety systems,
Teen Driver actually sends parents an automatic status report after the car has been
taken out that lets them know
total distance driven, top speed reached, plus any events that necessitated use of
any of the safety systems.
So if at any time the stability control was engaged,
the forward-collision alerts came on, antilock or automatic braking was
used—Dad's gonna know.
And unlike some competitors' offerings, the Malibu comes standard with Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto.
Although, we've been unable to get it to work.
We've tried two different phones and three different cords, and it just
won't register—something that was easily accomplished with the new Jetta.
Also, while these systems come standard with the Premier trim, on the LS and LT
it's not even available on the base L trim. It's the same with the 4G Wi-Fi—
you can't get those on the L or the LS trims, only on the LT and the Premier.
More than that,
the sleek, responsive 8-inch touchscreen that you see here only comes standard on
the Premier trim and optional on the LT, and the lower-end 7-inch unit is
nowhere near as nice.
There's a similar delineation when it comes to engines.
Base L, LS, and 1LT trims get a 6-speed automatic and a turbocharged
1.5-liter engine,
good for 27 city and 37 highway miles per gallon,
although you'll have to live with engine start/stop in order to achieve those numbers.
It's not especially exciting, at just 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque,
but it's not wholly inadequate. Still, a lot of consumers will want to pay the extra
$3,600 to jump up to the 2-liter turbocharged engine that
comes on 2LT trims and above. With that, you'll get an impressive 250 horsepower
and 260 pound-feet of torque. And with a very capable 8-speed transmission,
you'll also enjoy 22 city miles per gallon and 33 highway.
Not bad.
Inside, things are really nice in this new Malibu, with heated power seats
and a heated steering wheel.
The extra space is noticeable as well, especially in the back seat.
Although, it should be noted that trunk capacity has dropped about half a cubic
foot down to 15.8. Materials are
completely adequate for this price point,
especially considering that this Premier trim with all the fancy options is still
just $34,285.
That's a lot of car for the money, and suddenly this feels like a wholly viable
competitor for options like the Ford Fusion, the Mazda6, and the Honda Accord.
Although, it should be noted that the Accord is coming fresh to the table as
well this year, so we're going to have to wait and see just how high that bar has
been raised. A lot of people have always considered the Malibu to be a bit of an
also-ran, just a vehicle designed to go straight to the rental fleet. To be
honest, it's never had the style or the athleticism of the Mazda6 or even the
Fusion, but it's getting there now. At least in the looks department.
You can't say that this generation is lacking in presence or it's boring.
The real question is whether all these changes are enough to keep pace with the
competition.
What do you think? Can the Malibu stack up against the Fusion or the Accord?

The Truth About the New Chevy Cruze, Buyer Beware
Scotty Kilmer:
rev up your engines, Kenneth case of
Scotty
I really like my 2017 chevy cruze
premiere RS I never had a problem
throughout my ownership should I keep it
thanks, well it's a 2017 it's only a year
and a half old, you better not have any
problems, you might as well keep it cuz
I'll tell you the truth if you try
selling that thing now, you'll see how
much money you will lose, what you owe on
it versus what it's worth it would be
foolish to sell it now maybe you got a
good one that's gonna last, I never advise
anybody to buy it and I got a customer with
one he's got a picture of Mickey Mouse
in his back window cuz she's sued them
under the lemon lawn for some weird
reason they gave him back three thousand
dollars and that was it, they wouldn't
take the car back so, you know but if it lasts
drive it around cuz you would lose your
shirt if you sold it now, CK says Scotty
I'm looking into buying a 2004 GMC
Canyon with two hundred sixteen thousand
miles from a mechanic should I buy it
okay
well it depends if it was the mechanic's
vehicle and he took care of it, not a
bad idea but if he's selling it for somebody
else
you kind of think now the canyon was
kind of a bizarre truck they weren't
that bad
I mean look that thing's got a lot of
miles it's still running, I just uh
wouldn't pay too much for it, it's a 15
year old GMC pickup truck with two
hundred sixteen thousand miles if you're
looking for a Knockaround truck to haul
a little bit of stuff around why not but
just don't pay too much, it's an old GMC
truck with a lot of miles on it,
Albee says what's your opinion on police
cars mainly 2013 police patrol vehicle
Taurus with the 3.7 Mustang engine with
100,000 miles on it, well that was a fun
vehicle in its time but the thing is if
it was a police vehicle, generally they
drive them like maniacs and they get
the heck burnt out of them, I mean you generally
expect you're gonna put an engine or a
transmission in them in a short period of
time, but if you are thinking about
buying one use, do not touch it until you
get a guy like me a professional
mechanic and gonna check it out with his
computer and road test it and tell you
what kind of shape it's in. you want to
start there if you do want to buy a
vehicle like that, they can be fun to drive
around but of course don't pay much for
it, a used police vehicle the resale
value is not that much, you don't want to
pay much because
you know you're playing with dynamite
you don't know what's left with that
vehicle, why do you think the police get
rid of them every so many years,
Alvaro Tejado says Scotty I got
a 95 volvo 940 when i start it up in the
morning it makes the metallic rattling
sound when I rev it, it goes away for 3-4
minutes, the engine was rebuilt seven
years ago you know what's really typical
with those things, is the catalytic
converters rattle as they age for some
reason they made them crappy inside your
catalytic converter are these honeycomb
pieces that have platinum in them and
that burns hydrocarbons and as they age
especially on those vehicles it cracks
and they will rattle, but then when they
heat up the metal expands and they
stop rattling check that first now, if it
runs okay it doesn't hurt anything and a
new cat for that vehicle cost an awful
lot of money, you might live with it if
it is the cat rattling and it runs okay
when it doesn't run good, the
temperature gauge run hotter and you'll
only be able to go like 55 miles an hour
not any faste,r then you know it's
clogged up and you'd have to replace it
then, US storm says Scotty I have an 07
Honda Civic LX coupe with rear drum
brakes should I upgrade them to disc
brakes, okay here's the thing the rear
brakes on that car are one thing mainly
most of the power is stopped in the
front disc, the rear drums are there
so the car doesn't fishtail when you
stop hard and when you corner and stop for
normal driving those work perfectly fine
and you're not gonna have any problems
with them, it's kind of a waste of money
putting it in a little car like that it
really doesn't need it it's a light car
and disc brakes for all four wheels are
more for racing because they don't fade
when you stop go fast stop go fast stop
go fast, drums will actually stop a car
just as fast one time but in a race they
aren't that's why they were first used
in race cars because they're slamming them on
and hit the gas, slamming them on and
hitting the gas and the drum brakes will
overheat where the discs wouldn't and
that's why they started using them but
on yours are you really wouldn't want to
spend money for that, my Honcho says Scotty
should I put fuel injection on a Dodge
Dart 318 v8 well it's a good question
but depends on what do you want to do
with the thing, if you're planning on
selling it in the future, no because if
it's stock that's a classic 73 Dodge dart
you're gonna lower the value by taking
the factory stuff off,
but if you want it to drive faster
and get better gas mileage, put it on but
save all your old parts, save the
manifold, save the carburetor because
then if you sell it at some point in the
future
you can say to the guy, look I did this
because I like fuel injection you want
to go back to stock here's all the parts
in the box keep them all, don't throw
any of them away, always do that with the
classic car never throw any old parts
away and if you want to modify it to your
heart's content you're gonna keep it for
years go right ahead
just keep the old parts, so if you never
want to miss another one of my new car
repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!

Chevrolet Malibu 2016 Review | TestDriveNow
Steve Hammes New Car Reviews:
My first car was a 1978 Chevy Malibu Classic;
a rear-drive, V8 sedan with an 8-track tape
player and a headliner held up by push pins.
But in car years, that was 5 generations ago.
So this week I've got the all-new 2016 Malibu;
a midsize looking to make inroads with the
segment leaders.
Apparently, size does matter when it comes
to family cars. GM learned that lesson the
hard way with the previous Malibu where cramped
rear seats kept customers away. Obviously,
that shortcoming has been addressed here with
a longer wheelbase that affords an extra inch
+ of legroom while the big trunk remains virtually
unchanged. Other notable upgrades include
a significant drop in weight, a new 8-speed
automatic transmission contributing to a 2mpg
bump in fuel economy and a bevy of new safety
tech and top-notch connectivity.
By-in-large, my week with this range-topping
Malibu has not lived up to the hype GM trumpeted
when it was revealed at last year’s NY Auto
Show. My initial impression of this new front
grille has not changed since then. To me,
it sullies an otherwise attractive design
borrowed heavily from the larger Impala. And
in 2016, no car that wears a Premier badge
should ever use halogen headlamps. Optioned
up to $34,285, this Malibu runs standard with
the high-output 2.0-liter turbo-4 as does
the 2LT trim just below it. The 3 lesser trims
- the L, LS and 1LT - are powered by the new
1.5-liter turbo and these are the Malibu models
to shop if 30mpg is of importance. Those who
want V6-level performance will turn here to
this 250-horsepower motor instead which is
impressively refined and robust with a quick
acting 258 pound-feet of torque. Regular gas
is OK but premium is recommended, rated at
26mpg in combined driving which is exactly
where I’ve finished.
The Malibu's interior is a mix of hits and
misses. Per usual GM, the technology is fantastic
with Chevy MyLink full of all kinds of useful,
easy to use features including OnStar, Apple
CarPlay and teen driver settings. But the
touch points have a less than credible rental
car feel, the colors are drab and the rear
seat bottoms are short.
Here’s where the Malibu shines. They’re
crushing the technology angle. The new Teen
Driver feature is the first in the industry
with a built-in component that lets parents
view on a display how their teenager drove
the vehicle. To the delight of occupants,
there are 2 USB ports in the front and 2 more
in the rear plus a standard outlet. MyLink,
OnStar and CarPlay are a beautiful trifecta
of ultra-helpful, intuitive connectivity features,
and the driver information display brings
much of that intelligence to the gauge cluster
with easy configuration. And who doesn’t
love the 4G Wi-Fi hotspot? Combined with welcome
touches such as remote start, auto highbeams,
adaptive cruise control with automatic braking
and the full pantry of camera systems such
as pedestrian alert with automatic last-second
braking, forward collision alert with automatic
braking, lane keep assist and a parallel and
perpendicular parking assistant the Malibu
will wow you with its up-to-date, forward
thinking IT.
The 2.0 liter turbo won't have you longing
for the old V6...its fittingly strong and
reactive whenever you need more power. The
8-speed is mostly smooth though going from
reverse to drive often causes some abruptness.
And there's a lot of Buick in its ride...quiet
and smooth. But the handling is clumsy even
for this segment and at the end of the day
it's hard to imagine going Malibu over Accord.
And that’s the crux of the Malibu’s lot
in life; it’s improved in some key areas
and goes all-in on safety tech yet lacks the
premium polish and honed drivability to knockout
the segment’s heavy hitters. Also offered
as a 46mpg full hybrid, the 2016 Malibu starts
at $22,500.
