Before you sign for the Malibu

There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 90 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The figures, translated

The 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, 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.

Plan on about 22 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.3 L/100 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $33.96 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Inside and out

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

A test week in the Malibu tells you more than any review. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Malibu for a week and see how it fits your life.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

The cost of driving it

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $113.20 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

The Malibu and Java

We have no location in Java; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 1,072 km away. If you need it in Java itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
