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!
Chevy did a good job when they created the impala
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
depends if you just have the 4 cylinder. The V6 gets up and goes. I have a V6 impala 3.6L.

I don't remember that the impala came with v4's, those are only the malibus.
Take Note: This video is the prime example why you NEVER NEVER NEVER buy a vehicle that has been a rental vehicle. #Abused
I have this exact car, same trim, same color. I love it!
That looks like a refreshed version of the impala steering wheel from 2003 with the big pillow look in the middle
Definitely getting one of these as my first car 💯
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
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
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.
John Wick Weird. My wife has a 2012
Marshall Hilfman technically it is. But I don’t think the ride quality is that bad. We have about 124,000 miles on ours.
@John Wick read your manual. The handle has a piece of plastic you pop off to get at the manual keyhole
Why do you think the flip-out key is stupid? What happens if the push button doesn't work, or the remote goes flat?
I’m guessing he didn't think of that so he jumped to the stupid conclusion.
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
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
Key is to open the door in case remote isn't working.
Samuel Arnold if the push dosnt work then there is no ignition.... the key is unless you like to open ur door lock manually
holy shit she is a beauty
It would also benefit with AWD
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
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!
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.
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
I just got one of this 2 weeks ago. I love it
lucky I have the 2017 Malibu
hey man, now its been 5 months + , can you please tell me the pros and cons ? :)
Nicholas Menasian is the malibu nice?
Got 18 Impala now love it
Definitely consider this before buying the milabu but it's what you can afford
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. :|
Damn that car is really quiet
road noise not as muffled as in the buick lacross which uses electronic noise cancellation.
@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.
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.
They say the ‘18 is the last make for Impala ☹️ that sucks. I have a ‘12 but will upgrade to the newer ones soon.
yes

Im impala 2018 owner , totally agreed with you
it's annoying but after 6 month now im deal with it
مافهمت المشكله ممكن تفهمني ؟
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
NaWaFoViCH اها مشكور عالتوضيح
Not a bad looking car
اللون حرييييقة
Road noise seems pretty loud.
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.
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!
ouch
where is the legacy
2:34 What you don’t like the Chrysler 300 that disappoints me but whatever.
Is this in the pepperdust
+Nicholas Menasian Yes.
Chrysler 300 is an ugly brute. The 200C looks quite good with a V6, but Impala FTW.
l love this car
No cd player
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.
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!!
Who the hell drives with two hands, besides old people lol
