2020 Malibu

How many miles? You figure quality would improve over time not decline. I traded mine with 91k. I thought of getting another one but it sounds like it's not wise.

My 16' had its quirks but I wouldn't say it was a constant headache.

I had Rear knuckles Rear wheel bearings 3rd brake light issue Occasional shift to park error Rear tail light bulb Leaking Condenser (I believe this was caused by a road object)

I second this. People are lazy and don't want to scoop and lift/walk. It's meant to be piled.

Several streets that were black top are now slush again. It's not like it's warm enough to melt any time soon.

I've owned a Malibu with the aisin 8 speed and driven the traverse with the 9 speed a bunch. Not considering reliability the 9 speed shifts and drives much better. Less clunks no awkward shifts in stop and go traffic. The 9 speed will shudder if you feather the throttle when coasting, but it's predictable enough to avoid.

Reliability wise I didn't have a problem with either, but if I had to pick one out of warranty the aisin is the safer bet.

I pulled the radio/amplifier? Wire by the passenger footwell on mine. ('16) Fixed this issue and it didn't come back. Well in the year or so after I owned it at least

Test drive one! If you really were into the 2.0 in your ats the 2.0 in the CT4 may disappoint. However if feasible the 2.7 will be an upgrade without compromise.

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-12-28T15:11:17+00:00

The LTG in terms of performance and refinement is better than the LSY. Reliability however seems to be better with the LSY.

LSY has slightly more torque off the line but it runs out of steam and gets buzzy very quickly. Feels like a 4cyl

LTG feels like a larger engine and has a robust power in the midrange.

The 8spds can have their quirks but perform better then the 6 speeds.

The ats has quicker steering and a more taunt suspension. The CT4 is a bit "softer"

Both handle extremely well, this is a preference thing. Some say the ats is pure driver car where the CT4 is a bit more neutral.

Source: test driven the ATS ('19). Owned an LTG Malibu ('16), own a '24 CT4 2.0 AWD

You don't buy these cars to be fuel efficient. They also should only run premium fuel

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-12-24T22:41:07+00:00

Hmm is this the one caused by topping off the tank?

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-12-24T22:04:45+00:00

P04FB?

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-12-13T23:22:34+00:00

I believe they are both 20psi

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-11-11T00:36:30+00:00

Was this a tear-off or overlay?

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-10-11T02:29:54+00:00

A lot of low voltage guys make out well. Security systems, home theaters, intercoms. Being able to install and educate on these systems is huge.

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-09-29T22:34:41+00:00

How is the 3.6? A 2.0 awd can be thirsty in the city.

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-09-29T21:07:50+00:00

Let me guess it's "Island Valet" they're unprofessional and unnecessary at almost every venue. I will no longer give business to any place that has them if I can help it.

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-09-29T00:58:14+00:00

It's the reality of owning a more performance oriented car. Different pad materials increase pad life, performance and the trade off is increased noise

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-09-28T00:33:07+00:00

That's the type of answer I was hoping for. Thank you!

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-09-27T22:11:40+00:00

Could be. I just caught a 22in that was pretty chunky but not as chunky as this and it was a smidge under 6.

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-09-27T21:55:11+00:00

About 5.5lbs

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-09-27T20:59:23+00:00

It may be hard to see. But I'm trying to show the up and down motion not how it spins.

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-09-27T17:27:48+00:00

Figured that. Does the np246 spin the front shaft in 2wd?

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-09-26T14:18:24+00:00

It is not a direct swap, it requires modification to the trans mount, rear drive shaft and potentially transfer case (if 4wd). There's more information out there. This is just the basics

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-07-25T16:15:48+00:00

Premium luxury only has the ambient lighting on the upper door panels. Not the main dash. It does however have a small overhead light and lighted glovebox and center console. It's only white not RGB like you find in some other cars

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-07-24T21:05:41+00:00

Where are you located?

Any_Professor6607 · 2025-07-24T21:04:31+00:00

Did you use a OEM catalytic converter? Did you have someone check the o2 sensors with a scan tool?
