    Thinking of buying the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier?

    We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

    What to check on the Malibu

    A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

    What the figures tell you

    The 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

    It is rated at 7.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 23 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $120.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

    Who it is for

    It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

    Room inside

    Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. It is 4.92 m from end to end. Check the size of a tight parking spot. At 368 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    Try before you buy

    A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Malibu for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Malibu is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

    Year and trim

    Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

    Money matters

    The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting.

    A note on Knobs

    We have no location in Knobs; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 692 km away. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Knobs.
