    Buying the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS

    CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS before you buy one elsewhere. Before buying the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

    A buyer's checks

    Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 90 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, electrical system and power train. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

    Engine and fuel

    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. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

    Rated at 7.3 L/100 km combined, it needs around 22 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, it costs about $11.32 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Who it is for

    It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

    Space and size

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

    Rent it for a week first

    A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. 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.

    Which one to look for

    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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

    The cost of driving it

    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. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
