2019 Chevy Impala Premier // review, walk around, and test drive // 100 rental cars 

100 Rental Cars i have rented this vehicle a lot of times i had one while my bimmer was being shipped to me.

I'm so jealous. My wife had a BMW 3 series years ago before we got hitched and had kids. That car was amazing. Anytime I drive a "luxury" vehicle like a BMW it reminds just how crappy normal cars are in comparison.

100 Rental Cars my bmw is a 2011 bmw 535i 6 speed manual it’s a grey market vehicle meaning that it’s not ideal for the us market i paid only$14k for it a dealership bought it from an auction in Europe and it took two months for it to get here from Europe. It does have some problems occasionally I recently had a charger as a rental car while my bmw had to have a new ac compressor. Parts are a real pain to find for my car.

100 Rental Cars you can get w bmw for low prices here in fl try Offleaseonly.com

100 Rental Cars my bimmer has 80k i have a really close freinds he’s only owned bmws but recently he was driving in his 5 series he had a green light and a riced out honda civic comes out of nowhere and t bones him the honda civic t boned his bmw so hard that it tore the wheel off and the insurance company totaled it. He bought it back from the insurance company and i am helping him rebuild it.

Go watch my newest video for the truth

No one is buying it. They can't continue to offer cars no one is buying

Blog Shag Really?! I see alot of them in the street

paul nadratowski yah it’s in the top 10 best selling cars. SAME THING WITH THE CRUZE EVEN THOUGHT ITS NOT IN THE top 10 but the Cruze is a 3rd best selling sedan for Chevy. The best small selling car for Chevy in fact. Don’t know why they would take it away. They better be bringing the Chevy Cavalier. I’ve SEEN THE new one in person. Sadly it’s only offered in Mexico. Not in the U.S. but thankfully it’s not here because the car is only rated with 94hp. It looks sooo much better than the current Cruze. And looks better than the Malibu too. Not interior wise. But outside looks good. But it’s the size of the Cruze. I would say the size of the VW Jetta and same boxy appearance too.

The could possibly bring the cavalier into the U.S. market because they are taking the Cruze. So. Who knows.

Just like the Solstice, SS, & GTO......

It wasn't selling

Nobody is buying cars anymore. Or if they are they are either buying brand names (because it’s a Honda or Toyota-not because it’s actually a better car) or performance oriented (even though the Dodge Charger has poorer performance than the Impala in spite of having RWD). And it’s all based on perceptions. I know because I try and eliminate those and look at things objectively and the Impala came out a winner by a big margin. Room. The Impala is very comfortable. You have to buy an SUV twice the price to get a similar level of comfort. Cargo space. SUV cargo space is misleading if you only look at specs. Heck.. my Honda Civic hatchback has 25 cu ft of cargo space with the seats folded up vs the Impalas 19.9. But that’s only if you stack things up all the way so they are pressing against the hatch glass and ready to impale you with hard braking. Sure there are cages you can get to prevent this.. but most of the time the space is unused. Performance. There is no question that even a large sedan will have better performance because of its sleek design, low centre of gravity and lighter weight. Fuel economy. Same thing. The Impala gets about the same mileage as a dumpy four cylinder GMC Terrain. Again.. thanks to light weight, lower clearance, and sleeker design. Snow/off-road performance. Seriously.. nobody is taking a car-based unibody SUV off-roading. The differences in ground clearance are mere inches. So just gravel backroads which any car can do and in snow. With traction control and FWD.. (which is what a lot of SUVs have anyways) you have 80% of what AWD can do. My Honda Civic even torque vectors to swing the tail around rather than under steering like a FWD will typically do in snow. Nobody really needs AWD. 25 years of driving in the mountains in Canadian winters and I never needed it. Buy the best winter tires you can afford and replace them regularly. Price. This is where the Impala really wins. Since nobody wants them.. the deals are unbelievable. But the consumer has spoken. GM made an awesome effort with this car but the writing has been on the wall for a long time. Zero physical updates in 7 model years says a lot about the manufacturer’s confidence in the vehicle.. and if they don’t have confidence, the consumer definitely won’t.

Couldn't agree more. I still have my 96 Impala SS that I bought new. Rear wheel drive (with positraction), full frame, 5.7 liter LT1 V8. It now has 305,000 miles. It has been retired from the daily commute and is now a garage queen.

Lol, I have the new model 2Ltz fully loaded, Its a great car no question, but to not have an SS option at all is ridiculous, they did so great on the body and sleek style it only makes sense....at least they could do a farewell limited edition SS, it would sell I'm sure

Omg...I so agree!!! No clue as to why they've gotten rid of the SS...boggles my mind. I have the 2008 SS and I love it? Question....isnt there a newer model of the impala SS other then the 08 model?

@@keysto123 I have the 06 imp SS and the transmission is trash Hope ur luck is better than mine.

Agreed 👍🏾

Nice!

I just got me a '17 impala with the 3.6 ltr. Like its hard for me to actually put in words how amazing this car is. Ill be so upset if they discontinue it!!

They aren't going to stop making them, they just aren't going to bother to try selling many of the models in the USA anymore they claim they are discontinuing. USA has given GM the middle finger.

Is the Premier the top of the line version?

What year 6?

Great vehicle!

Thanks for the kinds words and for the great comment. And congratulations on your new car!

I'm 65 too and I also drive an Impala. It just happens to be a 96 Impala SS.

I went from a 2001 Grand Marquis to a 2017 impala premier and love the size

I am half your senior and I purchased a Chevrolet Impala Premier. I was slightly skeptical about purchasing the vehicle based on a certain surmise about the Impala looks older than my age, and I didn't want the Base or LT, I wanted the Premier.

Curious to know. When it rains or snows when the truck is opened does rain or snow fall into the truck?

Congratulations!

Agreed! Hopefully they'll bring it back soon.

@@100RentalCars Maybe it will get another stay of execution past Jan 2020, sadly tho V6 is doomed if prodtion continues.

🤞

125! Wow.

@@100RentalCars 🤣

I get tons of compliments on mine, but I have done some simple mods to it. People love the car and can't believe it's an Impala

Jajajjajajaja it's true

Omg now I can’t hear anything else. 😅🤣💙

LMFAOOOOOOO

1974 DODGE MONACO 440 I’m glad to hear that because I have been wanting them to remodel it but I got scared when I heard they might end it. It is such a iconic car.

@@Cj17Official how do you have a car but your mom doesn't?

Ajuong Ruai lol she does the one she is just looking into getting another car.

Cj17 Official hey. Just to warn you as a 17 year old. I have a 2011 impala and it’s the same body style. To MAKE SURE YOU TAKE CARE OF THE of the catalytic converter and power steering pump on the impala because ones the filter in the pump gets too clogged it will starting leaking from the hoses. And the way to notice the catalytic converter going out is when you stop or before you stop the car will idle very very strange to where it feels like the car is going to turn off. Good luck to you and your new impala. I can guarantee that the new one will be faster and that the radio is sooo much better on the newer body style impala. The sound sounds soo low either the bass. I would consider changing the easiest speakers to remove and replace them with kickers DONT get anything higher than 50hz for bass. Get 30hz ones. Change out the 6x9 if they have 6x9 speakers for the newer impala. If you keep the old 08 impala change out the rear deck 6x9 with those 30Hz kicker speakers. And thank me later. Don’t forget the Amp ;)

1974 DODGE MONACO 440 ifs true ask your google thing for the answer.

1974 DODGE MONACO 440 I hope your right, I’m 6’3 and these fit me so great! It’s hard for me to be comfortable even in a lot of larger sedans and these are a dream for me.. my 2018 is the third I’ve own and I’d like to trade in for 2020!

Go watch my newest video for the truth

Well said.

Yes he did!!

Ha! I'm such an idiot sometimes. Sorry about that.

looking at how much space the car has, he's not wrong lmao.

I agree this car has positive reviews

I worked at enterprise a couple months ago and that was easily the best car on the lot. Comfort, tech, and performance, and most importantly AUDIO!!!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 my dad has a 66 impala and it’s mean

Its done after 2020...trust me...and I'm pissed but sales have dropped dramatically since it came out in 2014....i love my v6 LT

Yup the Impala is done right after the Ford Taurus. GM hasn't officially announced it yet but the writing is on the wall. The Buick Lacrosse will probably follow, which wont leave much in the mainstream full-size front-wheel-drive segment besides the Nissan Maxima, Toyota Avalon, and Kia Cadenza, all of which sell in low volume these days too.

any + where = anywhere. I learned that before I entered grade school.

Congratulations on your new Impala! I hope it lasts 12+ years AND that you're still around to buy another in 2031! (Edit: 3 typos)

I would have BYE with the quickness. $31,500.

Gene, As you know, you got the great mileage because you allowed the transmission to gear up to the super over-drive, allowing the engine to operate at very low rpm at 68 mph. And, you were not hot-dogging it; just on cruise control. Result: super mpg!

bboucharde also if it comes to a hill and the CC is on. The engine will punch itself to get back to speed. I know this because my 2011 impala does this. Once it gets less than 5mph on CC it will not hesitate to ram those rpms up to get back to its set post.

Thanks for the kind words Steven!

Nice! Congratulations!

Sounds like you had a great trip!

Thanks! And congratulations!

I agree with you. They should make it AWD and I bet the would sell a TON

Lego Damen they’ll bring it back again. Just like from 60s to 90s to early and late 2k

FazeTug I doubt it. Unlike the 90s, Electric cars and SUV will take over this time.

I have a 2011 impala. Smooth ride 124,000 miles no major problems I like it

Same here but they don't sound like the v6

Dirk Diggler I put a mild sounding muffler on mine doesn’t sound bad

Thanks Ray!

Thanks!

How the Impala selling at your dealership?

They sell pretty well, especially the pre-owned ones, which tend to sell just as quickly as they hit our lot. My boss goes to auction each week and will typically come back with a few ex-rental cars to add to our inventory, and he usually gets an Impala or two. :)

Wow, good to know. And I sooooo want to go to one of those auctions. I bet it's pretty fun to watch.

It would definitely be nice if you could just go to watch, because it's hard to get the hang of the pace of the auction the first couple times you go. But unfortunately unless you know a dealer you can go with, it's difficult to do that, because even if you go to a public auction, you still have to pay a registration fee, as well as register as a bidder.

My favorite is the Impala from 2000-? I first drove one for a week as a rental car and it was big and roomy and at the time still had the front split bench seat. Great car.

Very nice. I think I'd prefer that. The silver accents on this one felt a bit cheap to me.

@@100RentalCars I have the chrome package it looks good on the black and the red color to me

Nice! Congratulations!

Right on, Tim. I was looking for something a little larger a with a great ride to replace my Acura TL. I’d see the new Impala design on the road and out of curiosity checked Consumer Reports review. I was SHOCKED that it was the #1 rated full-size sedan and got such high marks in nearly every category, especially the ride and quietness. In the Fall of ‘17 I found a Crystal Red LTZ with every option but adaptive cruise control, 23k miles. The original sticker in the glovebox... $39k. Got it for $21k and have never regretted it. I’m seriously considering grabbing a newer one if it’s being discontinued,. A friend is a Chevy salesperson. He says those in the market for a sedan are opting for the considerably lower sticker-priced Malibu, otherwise they’re spending bigger bucks on the Traverse SUV. A shame if you want a larger sedan because a fully equipped Impala is a huge bargain compared to similarly equipped Euro-rides with much lower costs to maintain. Cheers.

Thanks Cheedee. Drive safe my friend!

Amen.

Well said. I couldn't agree more.

ULOOKN Damn right

Well said

Well said. And I agree, it's a great vehicle. Too bad Chevy has decided to discontinue it. Hopefully, we'll see it again someday.

I bought a 2018 with 40 and I only paid $22,000

That's crazy I live in Wisconsin and I have aa 15 Impala. Yes it's winter now too and I love this car. This year I did put some snow tires on the front. Tired of sliding around all the time. Very cool.

What happened to it? Seems a little expensive for LT1. But yes, nice cars.

@@djkenny1202 At the time, it was an average price for that vehicle and others vehicles in its class in Wisconsin. I did a VIN search on it last year and found it was currently listed in Arizona for $8995 with 145k miles lol

Thanks Ryan!

Thanks! ✌

Agreed!

Love the name!

Nice! I like the Sonic, I'm hoping to be able to post a review of it soon.

I totally agree with you!

Nope the 58 impala was the greatest and best looking impala ever

Yes. A 67, 4 door hardtop is my dream car

Are you a hunter?

I learned to drive in a four door 67 pillared sedan. I’ve been lucky through the years. Had that car, 283 and power glide transmission. Then I lucked into a 67 SS327 fastback. After that I drove the 67 impala convertible for a decade and a half. Don’t currently own a 67. Will have one more one day I hope. Haven’t yet owned either the wagon or four door hardtop models.

Very true. There are almost no american made sedans left.

@@100RentalCars I asked your advice back in the summer and you suggest impala/Maxima, I got upgraded to a Cadillac xts , superb car, my wife did say why such a big car. But when she drove it and put her foot down and heard the noise she smiled. I did not fly 5000 miles to drive a Hyundai.

"I did not fly 5000 miles to drive a Hyundai." Hahaha, awesome. And I totally agree. Hyundais are decent cars, but I don't look forward to driving them. The XTS however, now thats fun. Too bad it's probably not going to be made after 2020.

They are expensive and have horrible resale value. GM cars haven't been seen as cool for decades. They successfully sabotaged their reputation in the 1980's/90's and with the EV1 debacle

@@blogshagify l cannot argue with you as l was tourist in rental car. But as this or similar cars market is limited to Nth America or the gulf states, with out the quality issues you raise, now globally niche car. A dinosaur, but a nice dinosaur.
