    The 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LT for buyers

    CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LT; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LT in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

    What to check on the Malibu

    A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

    Under the hood

    Its powertrain is the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo with 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.

    Fuel use is rated 7.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 23 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.09 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Inside and out

    Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 453 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

    When the Malibu makes sense

    It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

    Drive it on your own roads

    Drive the Malibu on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

    What it costs to run

    At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel. 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.

    Which one to look for

    Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the LT with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

    The Malibu and Java

    If you need it in Java itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. Java is about 1,639 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to.
