    Thinking of buying the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS?

    We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

    Before you sign for the Malibu

    Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. 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. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

    The numbers in plain words

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

    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. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

    Best uses

    It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

    Size and space

    It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    A longer test drive

    Rent the Malibu for a week and see how it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

    Picking a year and a trim

    If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

    Running costs

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