Not impressed - 2016 Chevrolet Impala
By Paul Wernich - July 20 - 11:29 amCar looked great on the lot and it was a certified pre-owned with a good warranty and only 8,000 miles for almost 15k below the new car cost. Thats where the "wow" wore off. The Impala rides too harsh and unsettled for the flagship of the Chevy lineup and twin to the Buick lacrosse and Caddy XTS. Getting in and out literally bruises my hip because the seat belt has a hard piece sticking out at the side of the seat. I keep turning the radio off and every time I get back in the car its on again. The a/c automatically lowers everytime you make or receive a phone call, even if its 100 degrees outside. The autostop function is a nuisance because the car bucks and jumps at every stop light/stop sign and I doubt its really saving that much fuel. Some of the interior bits are cheapy/flimsy. I have the upgraded LT and it has fabric/plastic seats, the Chysler 300 costs the same and gives you real leather and a V6 that gets about the same mpgs as Impalas 4 cylinder??? I think I made a mistake. The Impala also sits way to low, I keep scraping up the front end. Im just not impressed.

Drive on city roads and highway before you buy - 2016 Chevrolet Impala
By john dipietro - February 24 - 1:36 amGot this as a rental thinking I was getting a good car. First thing is I hit my head getting in (I am only 5,8) visibility is poor being blocked by the rear view mirror on the front, head rest on the side and a very narrow rear window. It lacks power, the engine sounds like it is constantly struggling under the slightest attempt to accelerate, the transmission is constantly downshifting and up-shifting. It feels like it gets stuck between gears before finally completing the shift. I only drive in manual now. Throttle response is slow. Minor things: the center console cover is difficult to open, the drink holders are too small, back up camera picture is fuzzy, the electronic manual shifter is located on top of the gear shift so if you happen to rest your hand on it the car will inadvertently change gears. Positives: the seat is comfortable and I like the way it handles on back roads. I would not buy this car.

Over Priced for cheap electronics and a plastic - 2016 Chevrolet Impala
By Dan Bethke - August 19 - 12:29 pmThe plastic wood grain finish is cheesy, many cheap electronics in this car just to jack up the price. The engine and transmission are decent and the best thing about this car. The car is noisy at higher speeds. Did I mention the cheap electronics to jack up the price, ridiculous! A smart phone or a Garmin is a better option for navigation. Cheap electronics dont make the car safer GM. Its the person driving the car! The car has an excellent look from the outside. Very eye catching.

Stupid ! Move - 2016 Chevrolet Impala
By Gene C. - July 6 - 9:16 amShop around other makes. Didnt come equip,with auto start,rear view camera, and safety warning systems that other cars are coming out with. So shop for better safety features, that are available on other brands. General Motors, has become very tight on giving customers a complete package. You have purchase all the items at extra cost to you. So make sure you take the time to look carefully at what your buying. This car doesnt keep its value. It drops almost five thousand dollars when you leave the dealership. I just checked it out on the car dealers site, and Im very disappointed with this purchase I made, I feel stupid. Be careful not to be rushed by the car salesman,if they do it to you. Then say thank you for your time and leave. Never go too late at night,because you will be rushed. GOOD luck.
