We have the same car too right now. The insurance finally gave us a rental car (Chevy Impala). We like it too. My dad had a choice between the Jeep Renegade, Chevy Trax or Chevy Impala. My dad choose the Chevy Impala. Best choice!

@thweepz 6 лет назад

The transmissions on the impala are tall geared for fuel economy. Car is slow off the line but I find the passing power to be awesome

@JWiLLfoReaL 6 лет назад

depends if you just have the 4 cylinder. The V6 gets up and goes. I have a V6 impala 3.6L.

@mohammadalshaer5464 3 года назад

@@JWiLLfoReaL I don't remember that the impala came with v4's, those are only the malibus.

@shhmule 6 лет назад

Why do you think the flip-out key is stupid? What happens if the push button doesn't work, or the remote goes flat?

@RYN988 6 лет назад

I’m guessing he didn't think of that so he jumped to the stupid conclusion.

@nicholasmenasian1142 6 лет назад

Every push button start car has a key on the key fob it's just hidden and this that impala is easier to get the key if you need it

@lukew67 6 лет назад

Yeah that happened to me once the battery went flat and I literally had to break open my own car door just to get back in GM is clearly the only group thinking of this

@sivart54 5 лет назад

Key is to open the door in case remote isn't working.

@504daniel7 5 лет назад

Samuel Arnold if the push dosnt work then there is no ignition.... the key is unless you like to open ur door lock manually

@dretucker9631 5 лет назад

Chevy did a good job when they created the impala

@TakeAGuessWhatsNext 5 лет назад

Push buttom start and the switch blade key is kinda smart just incase the push start working and need repaired you should still be able to start the car and drive daily

@dave11686 6 лет назад

The reason they give you the blade is so that you can get in if it’s not able to function. My wife’s Lexus CT 200 is the same way

@marshallhilfman 6 лет назад

Ugh the CT200 is AWFUL, the ride quality just defies Lexus' reputation. Got one as a loaner a few years back while getting the car serviced at the Lexus dealer and the thing just felt like a rebadged Prius.

@dave11686 3 года назад

John Wick Weird. My wife has a 2012

@dave11686 3 года назад

Marshall Hilfman technically it is. But I don’t think the ride quality is that bad. We have about 124,000 miles on ours.

@PinkFloydFreak55 3 года назад

@John Wick read your manual. The handle has a piece of plastic you pop off to get at the manual keyhole

@superfanman11 6 лет назад

That looks like a refreshed version of the impala steering wheel from 2003 with the big pillow look in the middle

@zacharyfrieben1033 3 года назад

I have this exact car, same trim, same color. I love it!

@nicholaswilder8710 4 года назад

Take Note: This video is the prime example why you NEVER NEVER NEVER buy a vehicle that has been a rental vehicle. #Abused

holy shit she is a beauty

@joshgalka9414 6 лет назад

Important things to remember: 1. An 8 or 9 speed Automatic is a bit much, as it could affect things... A 6 speed is just fine 2. I'm sure there's a button to adjust the seat comfort 3. When you say "Rearward Visibility Below Average," What do you mean? 4. Personally, I love the Impala's gauges... Other than that, Excellent car!

@BruceTheSillyGoose 5 лет назад

rear window has steep rake, rear pillars are thick, resulting in poor rearward visibility from the driver's seat. back-up camera is essential in this auto, the older LS models lacked a back-up camera.

@bryce4754 3 года назад

Do you downshift up still or do you go to the side because of the shape of transmission don’t bully me I’m newer to cars

@coreyprkr2013cp 6 лет назад

It would also benefit with AWD

@02slimelk83 5 лет назад

Is this a job? Driving new cars if so i would like to know the name of it i would love to test drive cars on road.

@dmvrell301 3 года назад

Definitely getting one of these as my first car 💯

@roshanxanovavych4698 6 лет назад

I just got one of this 2 weeks ago. I love it

@nicoledavis8032 6 лет назад

lucky I have the 2017 Malibu

@soulshunter87 6 лет назад

hey man, now its been 5 months + , can you please tell me the pros and cons ? :)

@chosen7934 5 лет назад

Nicholas Menasian is the malibu nice?

@nicoledavis8032 5 лет назад

Got 18 Impala now love it

@nicoledavis8032 5 лет назад

Definitely consider this before buying the milabu but it's what you can afford

@montyshelby 6 лет назад

Damn that car is really quiet

@BruceTheSillyGoose 5 лет назад

road noise not as muffled as in the buick lacross which uses electronic noise cancellation.

@BruceTheSillyGoose 3 года назад

@John Wick handling is sound but with those big wagon wheels and rubberband tires on the premier model, any bump in the road is most efficiently transmitted into the driver's seat, where i live the roads are horrible, my old honda soaked up the bumps better than a rental '17 LT did.

@shaquille26able 2 года назад

I love my midnight edition 2017 .. I wish I had a sun roof though.. Oh could you make video for manual??? I know this car doesn't have a clutch... So I'm interested in seeing it

@darnellwolfe5389 6 лет назад

They say the ‘18 is the last make for Impala ☹️ that sucks. I have a ‘12 but will upgrade to the newer ones soon.

@JWiLLfoReaL 6 лет назад

yes

@NaWaFoViCH 6 лет назад

6:59 Im impala 2018 owner , totally agreed with you it's annoying but after 6 month now im deal with it

@SurivalGames4EVER 6 лет назад

مافهمت المشكله ممكن تفهمني ؟

@NaWaFoViCH 6 лет назад

المشكله ياناصر ان المرايه الوسطيه اول ماتجرب السيارة مقارنه بغيرها من السيارات الرؤيه فيها سيئه , لو تكون فيه سياره خلفك مثلاً بينك وبينها عشره متر فأنت ماتشوف الا سقف السياره اللي خلفك , بينما بالسيارات الثانيه زاويه الرؤيه افضل , و حتى التورس اللي شكلها من الخلف شوي غريب الا ان رؤيه المرايه الوسطيه فيها افضل من الامبالا بس بعد استعمال السياره فتره خلاص تتعود عليها

@SurivalGames4EVER 6 лет назад

NaWaFoViCH اها مشكور عالتوضيح

@BruceTheSillyGoose 5 лет назад

yours seemed a lot tighter than the one i test drove, i didn't hear any squeaks, creaks or rattles/buzzes in your test drive, like i did in mine, on similarly busted up roads. road noise was about the same, though. :|

@Tundra_Guy Год назад

Road noise seems pretty loud.

@shhmule 6 лет назад

Chrysler 300 is an ugly brute. The 200C looks quite good with a V6, but Impala FTW.

@nicoledavis8032 6 лет назад

l love this car

@matthews95_ 6 лет назад

Nice car. I wish it wasn't so identical looking to the Malibu, which also looks nice (in a non-Malibu way). If this car's exterior morphed into a more old-school styled full size sedan like the charger/challenger, I'd be impressed.

@yaknow11 6 лет назад

This guy's personality is about as inspiring as a motivational speaker who has a bus pass. I hope he drove home very slow. I got a feeling his wife wasn't in a hurry to see him. The flowers in the house probably start drooping when this guy walks in. The kind of guy who says after climaxing during sex "anywho'. Geesh!

@user-rf9uo5dt6t 6 лет назад

اللون حرييييقة

@shhmule 6 лет назад

Wow sir, please keep both hands on the steering wheel, and don't hold the inside of the wheel by the bottom. I'm a commercial driver and have trained a lot of drivers, and nobody understands the full importance of how you hold the wheel until you get in an emergency.

@brianbuchert6382 6 лет назад

Samuel Arnold thanks for the remedial car class I’m sure he’s a big enough boy to decide how he drives and hopefully he’ll make a boom boom on the toiliet all by himself,but hey at least you got to toot your own horn with your training and got to thump your chest to prove your masculinity a bit I’m a former cop and am also trained in the proper way to drive and I’m sure he can handle the steering wheel all by himself but thanks for your vast and endless knowledge!!
