    Buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Premier

    We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Premier for sale by us right now. Here is the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Premier for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

    A buyer's checks

    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. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

    Under the hood

    It runs the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

    Expect about 23 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.8 L/100 km combined rating. That works out to about $12.09 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.

    Who it is for

    It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

    Practical details

    As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The trunk holds 368 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    Rent it for a week first

    Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

    Year and trim

    Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

    The cost of driving it

    The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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.

    Java and the Malibu

    Java is about 771 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Java starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.
