    Thinking of buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LS?

    CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LS for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LS is a big decision; here is the information we have.

    What to check on the Malibu

    NHTSA has 711 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and power train. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

    Under the hood

    It runs the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

    Expect about 23 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.8 L/100 km combined rating. That works out to about $12.09 per 100 km 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 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.

    What the Malibu is like

    As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    Try before you buy

    Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Malibu for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

    Year and trim

    Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

    The cost of driving it

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