    The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS: before you buy

    We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS for buyers, in plain words.

    What to check on the Malibu

    Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 90 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

    What the figures tell you

    Its powertrain is 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.

    Fuel use is rated 7.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs 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.

    What to expect from the Malibu

    It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    Who the Malibu suits

    It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

    A longer test drive

    A week with the Malibu answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Malibu answers the big questions. Rent the Malibu first, and buy only if it fits your life.

    What it costs to run

    Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $113.20 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

    Which one to look for

    If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

    Java and the Malibu
