I just got mine today. I'll update my thoughts soon. I was driving a 2004 Cadillac Deville. So, the room is a little less but I won't pass judgement yet.
March 2024, I said my goodbyes to my red 2016 Malibu as I traded in for my current used 2022 Honda CRV. The malibu gave me a great ride and got my around I do miss it and always will but 22 CRV is amazing
Mine is exactly like yours except it's white with black interior. I got a great deal and I'm glad it happened like you said. I hope you know how the front seats work and the tilt-telescopic wheel works. I noticed you didn't mention it. I love mine. It has 6300 miles on it now and has gotten 39 MPG at times. I still haven't seen the tire jack, I need to take the trunk apart and check it out. You do know it has 10 air bags in it? I had a 1976 Malibu and it was nothing like this car. I don't even miss my Silverado.
That's good. I hope it lasts you a long time. I remember buying my first brand new car. But now that both the C and Regal Turbo are gone it will be a long time before I buy another new car.
Mine MSRP was 24,200. Jim Ellis in Atlanta had a deal with $7000 off MSRP. I got mine for $17,200. How do you say no? This is the best car I have ever had.
Good for you! What color did you get? Mine is white. Drive it in L and punch to L6 and the engine will not stop when you come to a traffic light. I don't like the auto stop feature. You don't need it. I've gotten as much as 38 miles per gallon with mine so far. Welcome to the Malibu fam!
david carroll got mines in black. Figured I couldn't go wrong with that. I'm only 21 so a car like this is killer for me haha. And I actually haven't tried shifting yet I'll try it out. And yea the autosop can be a bit annoying.
Black is good! This car is killer for me as well at 63! I love it. Listen... To STOP the auto stop, put the car in Low. And punch the button on top of the shifter 6 times. Look at your dash and you can see when you are in L6. Drive it like that all the time and the engine will NOT stop. If you don't you will need a new starter in no time. That's how I'm driving mine. Are you gonna trick yours out? New wheels, ect? Send me som pics! My email: adavidcarroll@gmail.com
Spoiler for sure. I found it kinda odd that the gas pedal is the sport pedal but the brake isn't. I like the sill emblems and I've thought about black bow ties as well.
I have the same car, color and everything. I got mine with 18 miles on it back in August (4,500 now). Great car zero problems, although the gas tank doesn't go to full... Same on yours?
After years of my credit score being a joke and finally fixing it. I got approved to be bent over for one of these today and I took it. I'm paying 25k due to a crappy loan but im proud I finally own a vehicle again. No longer a back packing bus taking loser. God that was a difficult 4 years without a vehicle
Sharp looking car. I've been eyeing these and, my personal opinion is the car looks sharp in Silver. I do like the features on tbe LS model for an entry level. One thing I dont understand, you mentioned that the LS does not have the XMSiris radio option. I find this odd because my 2015 Cruze LS does... With Android Auto, can I listen to my Pandora app? If so, then id be ok with letting my XM subscription go...
I have the 2018 Chevy malibu and I love it. One feature I don't have is the push to start on the key fog. Mines didn't come with that but, other than that I love my car. #ChevyFamily
Eli would it be possible to show how to connect Android Auto? I just bought a used 18 and am following the directions to a t but just can’t connect. I know it’s been a while since your review on your Malibu but I sure would appreciate it . Thank you in advance.
Hey! How has the car treated you thus far? I have heard there are a few issues with this car. I was looking into getting one. What is your opinion so far?
I no longer have this vehicle. I owned it for almost 1 year and drove it a little over 7,000 miles and it was 100% trouble free! I had no issues at all with it. I highly recommend the car. Very affordable and low maintenance.
EliYourCarGuy if your family acquires a 1990 Ford Aerostar Eddie Bauer please do a full tour Startup show the engine do a full interior and exterior tour
Does this model come with the stop start technology and if it does do you like how it works? That feature is on the 2018 chevy malibu that I am thinking about getting.
This video really motivates me I just got a used 2016 malibu in red and I'm liking it so far and look forward to enjoying it for a longtime
Getting my Malibu Wednesday. I'm excited 😁😁😁!!!!
Same!
Getting mines tomorrow 🙌🏿🙌🏿
Which year do you plan on getting?
I have a 2024 Lt and I love it I get so many compliments on my car it’s a pretty gray color
Im getting this car soon, this review is a great peek inside the car. Much thanks to you.
I feel he’s in love as much as I am with the Malibu
I didn’t realize all the standard features those Malibu’s come with, definitely a good choice!
They are definitely well equipped!
EliYourCarGuy what are the trim levels
I do own a 2017 model ..Ls. & I love it ! mine has a black cloth material & everything else that you mention . its also a very Kick Ass Car !!
Yes it is it’s so pretty I love mine I have a 2024
Congrats on your new car! Awesome intro as well!
Thanks and thanks!
Dude, awesome! Congrats on your new car, didn't realize the extensive list of features these came with standard.
Thanks bro! Yeah the LS comes pretty loaded up for base model.
I just got mine today. I'll update my thoughts soon. I was driving a 2004 Cadillac Deville. So, the room is a little less but I won't pass judgement yet.
Congrats Eli! Gotta love that Android Auto! :-)
Thank you! That sure is an awesome feature. I appreciate you tuning in!
EliYourCarGuy my friend is the 1.5 adequate for freeway driving? doing 75mph long distance is no problem? and is 87 octane good enough for turbo?
March 2024, I said my goodbyes to my red 2016 Malibu as I traded in for my current used 2022 Honda CRV. The malibu gave me a great ride and got my around I do miss it and always will but 22 CRV is amazing

I don't even miss my Silverado.
I had a 2016 like this but blue. It was a really good car.
LOVE THE REVIEW AND YOUR HANDSOME YO
Love the video! I’m getting mines tomorrow! 😁🙌🏿 it’s so awesome to see everyone speaking highly of this car. I’m a huge Chevy fan!
Thanks! Congrats! You'll love the car. How is it doing so far?!
I'm looking and trying to get a used 2017/2018 Malibu LS I like it alot I test drove a 2020 yesterday big mistake I fell in love with it instantly lol
I fell in love with my 2024 it’s now parked in my garage ❤🎉
Congrats! I recently drove one and it wasn't bad! The girls won't be able to resist it. :P
Thank you! I'm happy with it so far. Haha
That's good. I hope it lasts you a long time. I remember buying my first brand new car. But now that both the C and Regal Turbo are gone it will be a long time before I buy another new car.
One underrated car: fuel economy, safety, standard features. Wish there were vents for rear passengers though.
They have them , have to get the LT or premier
Mine MSRP was 24,200. Jim Ellis in Atlanta had a deal with $7000 off MSRP. I got mine for $17,200. How do you say no?
This is the best car I have ever had.
david carroll same here. I got it at 17k MSRP. Got mines 2 days ago.
Good for you! What color did you get? Mine is white. Drive it in L and punch to L6 and the engine will not stop when you come to a traffic light. I don't like the auto stop feature. You don't need it. I've gotten as much as 38 miles per gallon with mine so far. Welcome to the Malibu fam!

Congrats! Nice choice
Thanks Blake!
I like the little spoiler, sport pedals and chevy door sill emblems that chevy sells. I'd get those!
Spoiler for sure. I found it kinda odd that the gas pedal is the sport pedal but the brake isn't. I like the sill emblems and I've thought about black bow ties as well.
EliYourCarGuy well the black bow tie just get a can of plasti dip. Much cheaper and more engaging!
TJC450 True!
Congrats man! Looks great
Thanks!! I appreciate ya stopping by!
Congrats on the upgrade!
Thanks bud!
EliYourCarGuy Please review a 1988 Toyota Van LE
Awesome Eli ! Love the car...
Thanks! It has been great so far. It's a real garage queen. :)
Is this a good starter car ? I’m looking to buy my first car and I love Malibu’s!!
Congratulations!
Thanks man! Glad you're still watching!
How’s the car doing ? Any issues?
Eli, how's your Malibu's doing? That 1.5 turbo is great?
ElJomoL Great! It has just a little over 5,000 miles. Zero issues and I am super happy with it! It’s a real garage queen.
Great, thanks for replying.
I have the same car, color and everything. I got mine with 18 miles on it back in August (4,500 now). Great car zero problems, although the gas tank doesn't go to full... Same on yours?
Mine now has around 4,300 miles. That's odd. Mine doesn't have that issue.
I have the same one got it at 5 miles my only problem is that the usb port broke so no apple CarPlay
After years of my credit score being a joke and finally fixing it. I got approved to be bent over for one of these today and I took it. I'm paying 25k due to a crappy loan but im proud I finally own a vehicle again. No longer a back packing bus taking loser. God that was a difficult 4 years without a vehicle
Where can I purchase the mats u purchase for the floor mats??
So there's no simple "off" button for the auto start/stop?
thecarexpert21 Nope
Unfortunately not
thecarexpert21 Put the shift in "L" instead of drive. Then push the "+" button 6 times to use all 6 gears. That will stop the auto stop.
Easy workaround: shift from Drive to L on short stops or step very lightly on the brake.
I want this car
Sharp looking car. I've been eyeing these and, my personal opinion is the car looks sharp in Silver. I do like the features on tbe LS model for an entry level. One thing I dont understand, you mentioned that the LS does not have the XMSiris radio option. I find this odd because my 2015 Cruze LS does...
With Android Auto, can I listen to my Pandora app? If so, then id be ok with letting my XM subscription go...
Yes, you can stream the Pandora app through the Android Auto / Apple Car Play. Mine has been great so far! You won't be disappointed.
EliYourCarGuy Thanks for the response man, appreciate it.
Do you still have this car and if so do you still like it? I'm planning on buying one myself.
Is it slow ? considering it’s not a 2.0
I'm getting this car soon
This car looks great in silver!
Sweet intro!
Thanks! Couldn't resist making it!
No blind spot assist?

Excelente! Video muy Completo 👌👏
That's actually a 16 model with the 17 body. Those rolled out right before the 17 model rolled out.
?
Hey! How has the car treated you thus far? I have heard there are a few issues with this car. I was looking into getting one. What is your opinion so far?
I no longer have this vehicle. I owned it for almost 1 year and drove it a little over 7,000 miles and it was 100% trouble free! I had no issues at all with it. I highly recommend the car. Very affordable and low maintenance.
Is there a way to turn off the start stop completely?
You need to shift the gear to (L) low gear and set on 6th gear then you can driver normally without auto start stop
If I order the Key with the remote start do I have to do anything to the actual car?
You'll have to have the dealership install the factory unit
Where did you get the wire that hooks your phone up to the car and what is it called?
+EliYourCarGuy did you buy it or lease?
Bought it
Wait...you added the remote start?
It was already added at the dealer when I purchased it
Wow! Nice car. What did you use to edit??
Thank you!
EliYourCarGuy can you please review a 1991 Ford Aerostar Eddie Bauer?
I'll keep my eyes open!
EliYourCarGuy if your family acquires a 1990 Ford Aerostar Eddie Bauer please do a full tour Startup show the engine do a full interior and exterior tour
Sure!
What was your old car? Why didn't you just get a Trax since they are so cheap.
This replaced my 2009 Impala. I don't need an SUV
update?
I have to save a year and model which one of them is the fastest one out the Malibu I'm talking about 2017
Does this model come with the stop start technology and if it does do you like how it works? That feature is on the 2018 chevy malibu that I am thinking about getting.
how well does it filter out the bumpy stuff on the road? [rough roads IOW]
+EliYourCarGuy can you do a review of a ford fusion
Already on my list!
I just got the 2018 model...really disappointed there isn't an Aux output.
P. bradley what you mean?
@@tylermcgill2733 no place to plug the aux cord on the LS model.
P. bradley I got a 18 LS model and I have a aux cord...as a matter fact my phone plugged up right now to it charging
@@tylermcgill2733 you mean the USB cord?
P. bradley 😂😂😂😂 my bad man yes I was wrong your right lol
I just bought the 1lt in black
my friend is the 1.5 engine good enough for freeway driving? does it struggle at 75? and do you put 93 octane in it or is 87 octane ok?
Per owners manual 87 octane is fine.
sad! my LS does not have the remote start =(
It was an extra option on mine
Why was this video banned 2 times?
That's classified information :p
I have a 2016 and I love it. The turbo is awesome. So roomy for the kids in the back seat. Great on gas.
No issues with turbo ???
@@dode20112012 had my 2018 malibu since it came out and nope runs like a dream
What app lets you remote start? Mycheverolet or the onstar app?
The MyChevrolet app
Only thing sucks with the 2017 Malibu no CD player
I have a question, is there anyone who has this car and pays more than 500 dollars for the vehicle registration every year ?
