A buyer's checks

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

The figures, translated

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. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

By the EPA's combined rating of 7.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 23 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $12.09 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space and size

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who the Malibu suits

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Try before you buy

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Malibu answers the big questions. 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.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Picking a year and a trim

Compare the LS with the other trims of the same year before you decide. 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.
