    Buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT

    No 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page helps you judge the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT before you buy one anywhere.

    Before you sign for the Malibu

    NHTSA has 711 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and power train. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

    Reading the spec sheet

    Power: the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: front-wheel drive. 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.

    It is rated 7.8 L/100 km combined: about 23 litres every 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.09 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Good uses for the Malibu

    It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

    The Malibu in everyday use

    A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 368 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    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. Drive the Malibu on your commute before you commit to it.

    Choosing the right one

    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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

    Money matters

    Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. 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.
