- Full Review Of My Own 9th Generation Chevy Impala LTZ (2010) | Lawsons Car Reviews.
This has been a car that I've owned for over 4 years and it has been a great family car. It's reliable and has never had any major failures. All have been minor issues. I judged the car and gave it scores according to the time period, not compared to newer cars. You can pick these up really cheap and parts are always available for them, and its easy to work on so I think its one of the best full size sedans you can get for the price. I'm gonna drive this daily until it blows up on me! Currently has 108K miles on the clock and still going strong.

Nice car. I just got a 2007 Impala a few months ago with 115k miles. No leaks, doesn’t burn oil, it’s very smooth and feels like a luxury car, transmission is very smooth as well (at least for now), engine is very quiet. I have the 3 seater one that has 3 seats in the front which is pretty cool given the year, very comfortable seats as well feels like my home couch lol. Overall (for now, not to jinx it) it has been a very reliable car, I did my first oil change about a month and a half ago. Extremely reliable in terms of gas which I’m surprised given the size of the motor and V6, the gas lasts a pretty long time probably almost as my Corolla. This car is very affordable and no problems so far, overall I think it’s definitely worth it for the money.
Considering you can get them pretty cheap now, they are worth the money, and the trunk on these cars are way bigger than the competition.
@@LawsonsCarReviews Yess!! The only sedan that can probably beat the trunk space is the Taurus but not by much.
Yup the Taurus is 20 cubic feet. That's really big for a none hatchback car
If you want to do another upgrade that will give you EXCELLENT handling and cornering without the sway, replace the hollow sway bar with a solid one.
Unbelievable improvement!
That's a great idea. How much does that part usually cost? Car drives pretty well though.
@@LawsonsCarReviews
I paid $135 for a Dorman from a small parts store that's usually more expensive than others. It includes the link pins and bushings with brackets. Best improvement for the money.
@@LawsonsCarReviews
I just tested it today. I was in a huge empty parking lot. I accelerated and took hard, sharp turns, left and right. It stayed level and felt like an Indy car! On ramps with sharp corners made me want to push it until I drifted!
@@LawsonsCarReviews
There's great videos on TH-cam showing how to replace the bar without lowering the subframe. You pop out the tie rod end on the passenger's side (front). Then you can pull it out the side of the car and install the new one the same way.
Don't wreck
I have the 2013 Impala LTZ and I can tell you it's by far my favorite vehicle I have ever driven. May not be the fastest but it's comfortable, it has enough acceleration that I need, I love the look and it gets decent gas mileage. But yes those damn actuators, not a good design.
I plan on keeping mine a long time. It's still kicking very well
@@LawsonsCarReviews I have 111 K on mine and I plan to keep it a long time to
I'm coming up to 120k. Covid helped keep the miles down lol. At least it helped something
2013 LTZ owner: I'm hoping for this to be my "Last Car" at 71 yo.
Nice! Just picked up a 2006 LTZ with less than 40k miles! Thanks for this video.
You're welcome. Hope you enjoy yours
Your car is clean bro
Thanks
Nice Impala
I like it for now
Got a 2007 ltz with 240k miles, keep the oil changed, no leaks anywhere, doesn't burn oil, its been a good car! Gas mileage is awesome, averaging close to 19 with barely any highway! Good smooth car!
the 3.9 is a great motor!
What color
@@LawsonsCarReviews its dark gray, I had plenty of cars but I love this one the most, wide open throttle is great, especially from a stand still, im gonna soon get some videos up of it on my channel... thanks for the reply! Love this car...
Thanks you. I tried to keep my Impala looking subtle but with some mods. You'll have to send your video link
@@LawsonsCarReviews sure will!
I have an 06. My wife has an 08. Those cars are fast too. The car so light.
Not sure I'd call them light unless you're comparing it to a charger, or a truck lol
I like your impala a lot
Thank you. It does the job as a work/family car
Sick ass car
Thank you
I had those exact headlights, I liked the led bar looked super oem but i had the chrome housing with leds, they ended up getting water leaked into them and then they stopped working too sadly. Thats a nice custom interior, I want those chrome pedals for mine now
Yeah I thought the black housing would look better. I had way nicer lights before these ones but they were not bright enough at night. And the pedals are pretty easy to do. Had to drill a couple of holes though
I have a impala 2013 with 350 horses under the hood and I loved
The V6 LFX engine is 305 HP. They are great performing engines but oil changes with OEM recommended regularity are important.
I so wish i got that engine and the 6 speed auto, but i got a steal at the time of getting mine
@@LawsonsCarReviews Still a good car with proper maintenance. Use it up and then get one with the 6 spd. I'm 71, hell, mine may be on the market when I go home.
One well cared for 2013 Victory Red LTZ
I might get a 2017 impala when it's time
Bro is it me or do you have a british accent?, nice car btw
Not sure it qualifies as that anymore lol
2013 LTZ owner : Has 305 HP V6, 6 spd trans. Performance is great at 58,000 mi. Trunk space is more than ya need and then one can fold the seats down. One could camp out in this car.
Yes, I'm one down on the blower door actuators on the driver's side and my rear defogger is not working.
There is usually an easy fix for the rear defogger
Great Car I have one 👍👍👍
It is still serving me very well as my everyday work car
Just an FYI when you open your arm rest your debit card is sitting there. I’d definitely cut that little bit out so someone doesn’t steal your info.
Thank you. What minute I that in?

Hey man, great video. I'm looking for a Chevy Impala 2009 for my son he's 18 years old. I found one with $115,000 MI it's pretty clean it has a few, maybe two or three dense nothing major. The dealer wants $5,999 for it. I told him I would give him $5,000 cash out the door. I really enjoyed your video. the Chevy Impalas are very good dependable cars.
Thanks for Watching. Mine is still kicking strong!! Hope your son enjoys his.
There it is i have the 13 impala dark gray same grill as yours its a ss with dark headlights and taillights with the dark dual pipes in the back im in south Carolina tinted windows etc.
I was very close to getting an SS back in the day. A 96 SS would be the one!
@@LawsonsCarReviews i love it put some rims on it and leave it alone next a ss Tahoe.
And a impala 2015 2lt with 375 horses under the hood that is baby
🤐
@@LawsonsCarReviews I'm planning to convert my 2013 from front to rear wheel drive impala
I hope you got lots of money
@@LawsonsCarReviews you don't need a lot of money is not that hard to do I been a mechanic for 62 years
Hi, If all goes well, meaning no major issues are detected when I get a thorough pre-purchase inspection next week, I will soon be purchasing a 2009 LTZ with 57,200 mi. Same exterior color as your 2010 but with the tan leather interior. The car belonged to an elderly relative who recently passed away. The only modifications I plan is the radio, but I will instead get one I can plug & play from a salvaged 2013 or 2014 Traverse. I'll need to pay to get the radio unlocked. Not going to a dealer for that, I found a business online that has a "reasonable" unlocking fee. I plan to also get a HUD unit, and a wireless backup camera. I am not car savvy, and don't want to pay a tech to install a backup camera to the radio monitor. I have watched several camera installation videos, and with time and patience, I could probably do it, but that is more work than I want to do on a car. Writing and Photography are my joys, not cars. (Lol) Oh! I also want to change both grills to the mesh type. Question: What is it with young men and wanting their rides to be loud? That is a serious question from a woman in her mid-50s. 😉
The loud car question. I used to own a Jag that was silent. It used to make me feel like i was falling asleep if i drove more than 30 minutes. Too smooth too quiet. My Impala was too quiet too. So i needed some sound and vibration to feel the car when I'm driving and to give me some extra drama.
@@LawsonsCarReviews I get it. I use music for that. Whenever I am driving, I am singing loudly. (Lol) It's a good thing that I can actually sing.
Nice car. I have a 2012 LTZ . I want to put a Flowmaster muffler on mines but was wondering if over time it will throw off a p0420 code or any codes related to the Catylitic converter. Have u had any problems?
That is actually a great question so I have had my mufflers on the car for over 2 years no engine codes I also removed the resonator and still no engine codes. But when I try to put a cold air intake on the car I did get engine codes for the mess air flow sensor the car does not take well to cold air intake system but it does do good with just mufflers. Good question
I was thinking of doing the Flowmaster Catback system to my 13 model. I am just trying to justify the $1105 they want for them.
Mine are Flowmaster 44s mufflers but it cost me about $200 and then$120 for the install
@@LawsonsCarReviews yeah I thought about doing that and then some 4 inch tailpipes. But my son says that I will get the most benefit out of a Cat-Back system and I do admit I like the way the y-pipe looks like versus the factory one
It's costly. Might not get huge gains
good review I wonder if you could do a review of a Buick Lucerne
Thanks. What year buick?
@@LawsonsCarReviews I guess any year Buick Lucerne would be cool to get your take on it - because you already know about the impala
@RedQNZ if i can find one
Just picked one up for 2500 mint for upstate ny rust standards
what color you get? How many miles on it?
@@LawsonsCarReviews It’s white with 130k, full service history from most recent owner. 3rd owner here 🙂. First car I bought myself.
@@gabrielpw. Thats what i like to hear. Hope its good to ya. Mine has been good to me so far!
Nice ride. I have a 2013 Lt fleet...I've had it about 5 yrs with no problems (other than those damn actuators)..All of mine need changing. The car grew on me .The styling is good, it's spacious and fast enough for me being a large car. I have some beamtechs coming tomorrow based on your recommendation. My car is all stock but that's aboit to change ...I like your headlights, what model are they?
I don't remember the headlights in this video because i switched them up again as you can see in my newer impala update video.
I really enjoyed your video, can you tell me the brand model# of the radio that you installed in your car. I would love to put that type of radio in my car, especially if it comes with a back up camera. It looks so much better than the stock one that I have in my 2011 Impala LT.
Its a none brand name
What specific color is your impala. It looks nice.
thank you. It's called Red Jewel
Was that radio hard to put in and how much did it cost
On a scale of 1-10 it is about a 3. So not hard at all. And when I got it, the unit cost me $75 from eBay. But I can't find that deal on there anymore
@@LawsonsCarReviews I really enjoyed your video, can you tell me the brand model# of the radio that you installed in your car. I would love to put that type of radio in my car, especially if it comes with a back up camera. It looks so much better than the stock one that I have in my 2011 Impala LT.
I got it on ebay years ago for only $75. It does not have a brand name. But it worked very well with the Bose speakers, and I have the Boze amplifier in the trunk too. I looked on ebay again and they don't have them that cheap but you can get ones similar for $85-$150ish. Not sure how good they are but they look to have decent features.
@@LawsonsCarReviews Ok thanks
You're welcome
Hi mate..did the resonator delete cause any interior drone?..thanks
No. Especially if you do not have mufflers either
Hey I'm curious what aftermarket radio did you get and did u get the harness for it to allow you to keep your bose speakers ? And how much lol I have a 2012 LTZ and one thing I don't have but really want done
I had to buy a separate harness for about 15 bucks. But that I don't remember where from. I think it was Walmart. The bose still works. But the steering wheel controls don't.
@@LawsonsCarReviews 15$ ?? What that's crazy if that's truly what you paid and would allow me to keep my Bose with any head unit if the adapter is 15$ . Because all the ones I've found on eBay and car. Id are between $120 -$140 plus a head unit
You have to remember it's covid times though. Lots has changed since then
I jus got one do you use regular gas or the e85 cuz I can't find e 85 where I'm at
Regular gas. To be honest I tried e85 for a while and it gets way less mpg when you do. So the cheaper price doesn't really help
Does it come with factory remote start?
Yes sir. It's loaded for that model year
@@LawsonsCarReviews I just found a 2010 LTZ with 96,000 mi on it and the guy wants four grand. I mean that's a steel I think. The interior is in mint condition no rust
Let me give you one tip about rust. Make sure you check rust at the bottom of the door, v especially the drivers side. They are prone to some rust there after 10 years or so
Where Did Uu Get Tha Roof Spoiler ?
I got it many many years ago from eBay and it was round about 35 to $40 it was very cheap but it's actually very high-quality I still have it now and it's still kicking strong about 4 years later
What after market radio system is that?
It's unbranded
How much did u spend on exhaust
Less than $200 for a pair of Flowmaster 44s
That’s just the muffler or that’s that whole system and pipes
And resonator delete. Maybe $60. Black tips were about 25 each.
@@LawsonsCarReviews and that’s for the whole exhaust setup? How much was it to have it installed?
I actually got the install free but it's typically $50-80 per muffler. Depends where your at in the country
what do you mean they dont handle modifications my 07 3.9 ltz was putting 410 hp to the wheels after what I did to it
And what did you do to it?
@@LawsonsCarReviews cam and headers and program
@@LawsonsCarReviews cake its a 2.8 all fiero stuff fits it
Doubt you can get close to 200hp just from that without forced induction
@@LawsonsCarReviews you can its only 100 hp per liter it makes more than 200 hp stock its like 240 stock 2.8s could make 310 na with a decent carb and the right cam if I had a 4 barrel swap Im sure it would have been well over 500 and I was considwering a carb swap
Where's your accent from?
Notts
I have a 2013 whit 350 horses and I loved
Sweet
Is this good for a teenager’s first car? Stock form of course, maybe a couple years older
Depends on if they are a good teenager or not. Too much baby making room in the back seats if you ask me 🙄😬
@@LawsonsCarReviews Lol well I’m the teenager, and so far that hasn’t been an issue 🥲
Better not be or you'll be needing a baby car seat in the back 😏
@@LawsonsCarReviews Lol yep.
But I’m hoping to save up 3k over the next few months, think a 2006 (or newer) Impala is worth it? Not exactly mechanically inclined but always willing to learn
They can be good cars. Just look after it. And they're many videos on these cars too fix stuff
Oh.....this is one of the slower models ......the 2013 impala LTZ. V 6s have 300 hp.....😮😮
I know. Heartbreaking
@@LawsonsCarReviews That's why my next car is going to be a LTZ impala with 300 hp.....Right now I have a 2010 Volvo S 80 with 281 turbo 6 6cyl horsepower .....the car is fast enough but I'm just planning my next future car purchase...To meet my need for speed I may also consider the V 6 Toyota Camry with 268 hp.....those are quick.too.....I do prefer the LTZ cause of the horsepower and the fact that it would be cheaper to service than my Volvo.....😁😄
Let me tell ya. The camry v6 is nice but the transmission shifts super lazy. It's definitely the weak point of the car in my opinion.
@@LawsonsCarReviews Thanks for the feedback....I kinda noticed that cause I did test drive a camry v 6.....and it did MOVE OUT pretty quick but the Dealer that sold me the Volvo was giving me a good price on the car so I bought it ..... Of course my volvo moved out faster.....But now I'm going to test drive the next LTZ V 6 I see just to see how much difference that 300 hp motor is compared to 281 turbo power .....just curious...
🤔🤔🤔

Check out this video. I drove a loaded V6 camry
