    I recently rented a 2019 Chevrolet Impala LT, overall it was a very nice car. Besides being a good looking car it had plenty of options as well as a nice ride. I was a wholesaler and sold cars for 15 years, I honestly think it was an outstanding bang for the buck. I'd definitely own one, in fact it just might be my next vehicle.

    I drove the exact same Impala trim as this one as a rental for almost a month and it is a great car to drive. This car has a need for speed and possesses a tender gas pedal(gotta be careful with that). Really sleek and the exterior is very relevant to the current trends. Inside is very roomy and cozy. But in my perspective, I don’t like the dashboard gauges because I feel that they age the driving experience of the car. And the blind spots are aplenty in this car, especially in the side mirrors.

    I Bought this Trim Level in 2017 with the Pano Roof and the Red Tint Coat Option love that color. Really makes it pop. I love the 4G LTE WiFi offered and Onstar which you didn’t touch on. I love how the car reads my TEXT messages and the hands free calling works excellent. And what a RIDE! However, I did opt for the High Compression 4 Cyl. After a test drive with the 4 cyl I knew I didn’t need anymore power and coming from a older V6 Impala (3.8 liter) This Newer Impala seems to always willing to GO Faster and with no terrible sounds. The MPG is always 23 City and well over 35 HWY. One trip I averaged 44 mpg HWY. My house in Mass to N.H. and back. My older Impala would do 32mpg Hwy. on that stretch which I thought was very good. I could of traded back the Pano for the V6 but I would never used all that power and it would of definelty used a lot more gas. I like paying $33 every 15 days for gas. And after I drove the new V6 I love the engine but I didn’t notice that much difference when I would get on the gas. I thought it would Scream being 100hp more. But it was only marginally faster not enough to sway me. If the 4 cyl was slow or sounded bad or wasn’t peppy enough I would of gotten the V6 for sure. Drive them BOTH and see for yourself if you look at a LT trim.

    I bought one yesterday I had a 2015 Malibu lt which I liked too, but this car is a class in itself so smooth v6 plenty of power for what it is (a sedan not sports car) luxurious ..

    I think the Impala is a nice looking vehicle. Everyone seems to be into SUV’s and these large sedans aren’t selling as well. So, what do you think of Ford eliminating all car production? I think their making a big mistake, this decision could be good news for Honda and Toyota. They make some good looking sedans. Enjoy your videos.

    I have a 17 Impala LT with the 4cyl engine. I previously had an 08 Malibu which I loved but upgraded to the Impala. I'm more than happy with the 4cyl engine. It has 27K on it now without a single problem. Hope this helps someone decide. Interestingly enough this was a car sold in Canada. It has a 240mph speedometer. People freak out when they see that.

    The ass end doesnt extend out long enough in my opinion--it looks stubby and incomplete. I feel the taillights are situated a bit too high as well. Other than that the car is stunning, very attractive. I could do w/out all the assisted driving crap, but thats another story. This Impala looks a lot more respectable than the previous 2 generations.

    I used to have a 2012 Chevy Camaro LT with the Bumblebee package on it but had to trade it in for a 2013 Ford Fusion in October of 2016 6 months after my son was born. I hate the fusion with a passion but it's so great for my now soon to be 3yr old. My question is, in your opinion, does the impala have the look, feel, and performance of the Camaro with the safety and technology of the fusion?

    • @MichelLinschoten
      @MichelLinschoten Před 5 lety +1

      I can answer that, as we do own a 2018 Camaro LT and a 2018 impala LT. So take my words based on my personal experience.
      The impala shares the same engine with the camaro v6vvt 3.6 liter
      The camaro has approx 335hp the impala 305hp, the big differences there is the transmissions.
      Camaro has a 8 speed with sport/tour/snow settings. The impala is a 6 speed with no settings like that...
      If you want best of two worlds? Tech, comfort, power, luxury and enjoyment definitely go for the Impala.

      I go to visit antique and vintage car shows all the time. Except for an occasional early 60's Impala SS I have yet to see a 1968 full size Chevy of any model. Any car that old in mint condtion has either been totally restored at a cost of many thousands of dollars or it was just never used. As for new cars that suck, its obvious you can't afford one. Sour grapes buddy :-)~~
      By the way, show me a 1968 full size GM, Ford or Chrysler that lived its brief life in the snow belt and tell me if the lower body didn't have huge rust holes you could fly a 747 through.
