The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier: before you buy

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

Recalls and complaints

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Reading the spec sheet

The 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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 7.3 L/100 km works out to about 22 litres per 300 km. That works out to about $11.32 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

What to expect from the Malibu

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Malibu first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the Malibu on your commute before you commit to it.

Narrowing it down

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

The cost of driving it

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $113.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
