Thinking of buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu L?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Chevrolet Malibu L for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu L, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

What to check on the Malibu

Owners filed 711 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Reading the spec sheet

The engine is the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Rated at 7.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 23 litres for a 300 km round trip. For 1,000 km, budget about $120.90 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.

The Malibu in everyday use

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who rents the Malibu

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Try before you buy

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Malibu answers the big questions. Rent the Malibu first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the Malibu on your commute before you commit to it.

The cost of driving it

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel.

Year and trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Your move

Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
