Under the hood

Its powertrain is the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

A combined rating of 7.8 L/100 km works out to about 23 litres per 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.09 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who the Malibu suits

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Space, size and seats

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is 453 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Drive it on your own roads

Try the Malibu on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Malibu answers the big questions. Rent the Malibu for a week and see how it fits your life.

Year and trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting.
