    Thinking of buying the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Premier?

    CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Premier before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Premier, here are the facts that matter.

    What to check on the Malibu

    A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 711 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

    What the figures tell you

    It is powered by 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. Driving 300 km costs roughly $36.27 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Who the Malibu suits

    It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

    What to expect from the Malibu

    Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    A longer test drive

    If the Malibu is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

    Which one to look for

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

    The cost of driving it

    At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    A note on Knobs

    If you need it in Knobs itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 694 km from Knobs, and does not deliver there.
