Before you sign for the Malibu

NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 90 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Reading the spec sheet

Power: the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: 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.

It is rated at 7.3 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 22 litres. Every 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who rents the Malibu

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. 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 test week in the Malibu tells you more than any review. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If the Malibu is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $113.20 at our price setting.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

The Malibu and Ruby

If you need it in Ruby itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 249 km from Ruby, and does not deliver there.
