    Thinking of buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu L?

    CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu L; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu L, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

    A buyer's checks

    Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

    Reading the spec sheet

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

    Expect about 23 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.8 L/100 km combined rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.09. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Is it right for your trip?

    It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

    Living with the Malibu

    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.

    Rent it for a week first

    A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the Malibu on your commute before you commit to it.

    Which one to look for

    Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the L with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

    Running costs

    Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    The Malibu and Knobs

    Knobs is about 692 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Knobs.
