Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 725 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and unknown or other.

The figures, translated

Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Plan on about 23 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.8 L/100 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $120.90 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 453 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the Malibu first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the Malibu on your commute, then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Money matters

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. 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.

Choosing the right one

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
