Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu LT, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 90 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Reading the spec sheet

Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through 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.

It is rated at 7.3 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 22 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $113.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

How big it is

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA lists 368 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who the Malibu suits

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $113.20 at our price setting.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. 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.
