    Buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT

    CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

    What to check on the Malibu

    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. 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.

    What the specs mean

    Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through 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.

    It is rated 7.8 L/100 km combined: about 23 litres every 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $36.27 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    The Malibu in everyday use

    As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    Good uses for the Malibu

    It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

    Try before you buy

    A test week in the Malibu tells you more than any review. Rent the Malibu for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

    The cost of driving it

    A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

    Which one to look for

    If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
