    Specs, explained

    Power: the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: 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.

    Expect about 22 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.3 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $33.96 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

    How big it is

    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.

    Best uses

    It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

    A longer test drive

    Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Malibu answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

    What it costs to run

    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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel.

    Picking a year and a trim

    A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Compare the LT with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
