Thinking of buying the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LS?

No 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LS is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. The 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LS for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

Before you sign for the Malibu

NHTSA has 725 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and unknown or other. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The numbers in plain words

Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The combined figure, 7.8 L/100 km, means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.09. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Room inside

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The trunk holds 453 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who the Malibu suits

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Drive it on your own roads

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the Malibu on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Money matters

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

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
