    The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu LS for buyers

    We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Chevrolet Malibu LS for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu LS, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

    What to check on the Malibu

    A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 865 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

    What the figures tell you

    It is powered by the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

    A combined rating of 7.8 L/100 km works out to about 23 litres per 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $36.27 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.

    Size and space

    As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. It is 4.92 m from end to end. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    Who it is for

    It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

    Drive it on your own roads

    Rent the Malibu for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the Malibu first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week with the Malibu answers more than any brochure.

    What it costs to run

    A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

    Which one to look for

    Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

    A note on Java

    Java is about 1,072 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. If you need it in Java itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
