I'll bet that 99% of you talking crap about this car never actually took one for a test drive before. I went tot he Chevy dealership, to be honest with low expectations, and was very surprised just how good this Impala is. Looks way better in person inside and out, is built well and drives super quiet and smooth. A big leap from the old version.
the 3.6 is plenty powerful in this car...people complaining that this car sucks probably never drove .one or better yet never seen one up close..I personally own one a champaign metallic silver 2lt..love the car
I checked this out and it's a really nice car. I want one and I am only 20. It's definitely not an old person car anymore. Anyone who says they wont buy it because its american is skipping out on a seriously good car
I test drove the 1LTZ . My only complain as far as the interior goes is the very low roof line. Im only 5'8 and it felt like my head was to close to the roof. A very powerful V6. probably one of the most powerful V6s in its class, but with the power in the front wheels it creates a lot of torque steer during acceleration. A lot of body roll taking corners as well due to the soft suspension. This is where an SS model Impala can come in a fix this, especially if they offered an option of AWD.
He's the only person I've heard saying so many bad things about this car when really it's the best car in its class. Definitely better than a Ford or toyota as far as space, comfort, looks, luxury, safety, and kind of everything. Juss sayin.
I just bought a used 2017 LT. I really like it. Yes it drives ultra smooth and quiet but that is exactly what I want. I have the 2.5L 4cyl. It has 197 HP and it's more than adequate for me. I rarely have to put my foot in it.
My first car is a 2007 Chevy Impala SS, and when it's time to get a new car I will definitely stick with the Impala's. It's sad they have not made any SS version since 2007 I love mine
I'm not usually a domestic fan, but I would go with the Chevy. The Impala starts at under $27k, where the Cadenza starts at $35k. I could get a lot more options on the Chevy for the same money. I also like the way a Chrysler 300S looks, for the same money, plus you can get AWD if you want it.
Looks good. Too busy interior. I'd still pick the 300 out of the compared lot shown. Unless someone's grandson or a police officer is driving one, I bet I don't see many owners utilizing that 0-60 time of 6.8 seconds.
why do all car navigation tech are so sluggish? I mean dont they bother to optimise its codes or just put a powerful processor in it? its not like power efficiency is your main concern in car navigation?
Zidar25 You need to come up with a better argument than "it could". Yeah, IT COULD happen to Mercedes or BMW, Ford, Citroen, Alfa Romeo, etc. but guess what, it doesn't. You know why? Because they're better than GM. They actually bother to check for problems instead of mass producing 2 ton death traps. Any car manufacturer that doesn't even bother to check if their car is safe for the very people who drive them lacks basic decency and does not deserved to be called "the BEST company out right now".
If they just made it RWD and offered a casual V8 option like a 5.7l or something im sure it would have sold more units to infiniti/bmw/dodge customers looking for a rwd sedan type car.
This car is really nice. Sat in one at a car show, HOWEVER, too much of the old Impala bleeding through. Keep the rear camera and the MyLink that is slow (and will no doubt be frustrating), in addition this is not a Driver's Car. For $32K, no thanks GM. Close but no cigar.
I lived in Germany during my time in the Military. drove the benz's the audi's and bmw's.. great in features and performance, but people mistake German makes for reliable cars. They are some of the most unreliable cars and cost a fortune to fix and is why BMW, Audi, and Benz should never be bought used with more than 50k miles on it. the Infiniti M37/56S has all the bells and whistles as its German counterparts for a much better price, and is also a more reliable vehicle.
I wonder why? It would be a money maker 6.2 rear wheel drive , to compete with the Hellacat Challenger , the Ford Taurus SHO, also Dodge Charger" I work for GM would hate to switch Brands"
I guess GM just wants to stick with the family friendly FWD full size. I agree they do have the new SS sedan which is full size and is RWD and competes head on with the charger and taurus SHO but the taurus offers AWD. However I would love to see the impala SS come back if someone can convince the heads of GM to bring the impala ss back that would be awesome. I also just bought my first chevy a 2011 malibu i love it! can't complain a single thing about it despite GM being in shit load of trouble with their recalls as of late hopefully they can get that straighten out
I can tell you why...because the SS never sold that well ! It's was a rushed car they made and did horrible on sales. You want the bigger engine? Buy a camaro...
I agree! Regrettably, I purchased a 2012 Chevy Sonic about one year ago. Unreliable. Poor build quality. The dealerships/GM Customer Service have lived up to their reputation and won't stand behind the warranty. No more GM products for me!
