    Thinking of buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT?

    CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. 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

    Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. 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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

    Specs, explained

    Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

    Its combined rating is 7.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $120.90. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.

    Practical details

    A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 368 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    Best uses

    It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

    Try before you buy

    Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If the Malibu is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

    The cost of driving it

    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. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

    Narrowing it down

    A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. 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.

    The Malibu and Knobs
