    The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS: before you buy

    No 2021 Chevrolet Malibu RS is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. 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 RS, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

    Before you sign for the Malibu

    Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

    Engine and fuel

    The engine is the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

    A combined rating of 7.3 L/100 km works out to about 22 litres per 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $113.20 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Who rents the Malibu

    It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

    How big it is

    It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    Try before you buy

    Rent the Malibu first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the Malibu tells you more than any review.

    Year and trim

    Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

    What it costs to run

    At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
