Thinking of buying the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier?

No 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the Malibu

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 90 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked.

What the specs mean

The engine is the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 22 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.3 L/100 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $113.20. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Malibu makes sense

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Inside and out

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

A test week in the Malibu tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Malibu for a week and see how it fits your life.

Which one to look for

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
