The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

A buyer's checks

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 711 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Under the hood

Its powertrain is 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. 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.

Practical details

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Best uses

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

A longer test drive

Drive the Malibu on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Malibu for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Malibu is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the LT with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
