    Thinking of buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu L?

    We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Chevrolet Malibu L for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu L in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, 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 private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

    Under the hood

    Its 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 6-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. 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. At our price setting, it costs about $12.09 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Who rents the Malibu

    It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

    Practical details

    Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    Try before you buy

    Rent the Malibu for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Malibu tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

    Picking a year and a trim

    If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. 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.

    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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting.
