    The 2017 Chevrolet Malibu L: before you buy

    CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu L; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu L is a big decision; here is the information we have.

    A buyer's checks

    Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

    Reading the spec sheet

    It is powered by the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. 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.

    Combined fuel use is 7.8 L/100 km: about 23 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $36.27 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.

    When the Malibu makes sense

    It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

    Inside and out

    It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. EPA lists 453 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

    Drive it on your own roads

    If the Malibu is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A test week in the Malibu tells you more than any review. Try the Malibu on your commute, then decide.

    Year and trim

    Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Compare the L with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

    The cost of driving it

    Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
