Thinking of buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT before buying one.

Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 711 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and power train. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The figures, translated

Under the hood: the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Rated at 7.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 23 litres for a 300 km round trip. The fuel for 100 km comes to 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.

The Malibu in everyday use

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Good uses for the Malibu

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If the Malibu is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week with the Malibu answers more than any brochure.

The cost of driving it

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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel.

Narrowing it down

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

Knobs and the Malibu

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Knobs. Knobs is about 692 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.
