I drove a 2015 LTZ from Minnesota to Florida and back. Coming from a 2004 Nissan Maxima (which is an extremely fun car to drive), the Impala is somewhat bigger, but didn't really feel it. The handling was very good. The 305HP V6 was extremely impressive and smooth. Plus, going 75mph down the highway, I was easily getting 32mpg. I will definitely be owning one in the future.

I just bought an Impala. Black on black leather. I love it so far. I miss the blue mood lights that I had on my Malibu and should have gotten a moonroof. However, the vehicle is very smooth, surprisingly quick, and comfortable. It is a grown ups car but not an older persons car. I did not purchase it, but the safety features (collision braking, blind spot alarm, etc..) I found to be awesome. It is really responsive but not enough to confuse you. It is a system that could easily save your life or impede an accident. The backseat is big and comfortable. Huge trunk and it has nice looks to it. I have no regrets and its affordable. Anyone who has sat in the backseat falls asleep within minutes.

Don't understand why this car does not sell much better than it does, rode one a yr ago and if I had been blindfolded I would have sworn I was riding a luxury car, not a Chevy!

I am driving a 2016 Chevy Impala as a rental and really like it. Put 3,000 miles worth of roadtrip on it in 4 days and really like the way it drives.

After this review I know more about the Buick LaCrosse than I do the Chevy and Impala.

My very first Chevy sedan!! Good job Alex.

And 4 years later.. it’s an absolute bargain on the used market. I think I’ll be buying a nicely loaded V6 LT version for less money than the small, slow, and dumpy four cylinder crossovers that everyone is so nuts about these days.

The way you break down its competition is just nice!

you are one of the relatively few reviewers that talks in depth about rough-road ride quality. a big plus in my book.

I hope you get paid by the car companies for these great, honest reviews. I am currently driving a base 2016 Impala LT (rental -- my SUV got rear-ended), and I LOVE it. Even though it's a base model with "pleather" and the 2.5L I4, I'm still impressed. Most-likely gonna keep my SUV and lease a 2016 Impala LTZ. Consumer Reports loves it too, but your review was so thorough and well-done, you have just about convinced me to get one. You did a great job. Thanks, Alex!

I suffer from chronic back pain and found the Impala passenger and driver seat to much more comfortable than the Avalon seat.

Your automobile reviews are more complete and thorough than anyone else's. I was very impressed by the video shot you did when looking at the center control and you brought the steering wheel buttons over in front of what we were viewing I thought that was kind of cool! You obviously put a huge amount of work and research into your video reviews. I also didn't miss the part where you put the vehicle size review on a measuring stick, some of the things that you have done to change your videos have not gone unnoticed. Thanks! I am currently searching for a new car and have been watching a lot of the car review videos and I have found yours the most useful, you have made it easy for me to narrow down the field and I have been able to do a lot of my shopping from my couch! Thank you thank you thank you and thank you again for all the time and footwork that you have saved me! You will continue to get the thumbs up for me on all of your videos in the future.

You reviews are very thorough and detailed. I have been watching them for a couple of years, and I always feel well-informed after watching them! I really like that you compare the car in each review with other competing vehicles, so we can see how they all match up, you give data support why you give a certain letter grade to each area of consideration (suspension, handling, cabin noise, etc). In this review, I like that you mention the interior sound decibels. I would love to see that on more of your reviews! They make several cell phone apps that will check the decibels for you. I also like when you get into some of the technical/mechanical details (suspension/steering geometry, dual clutch vs. regular planetary transmissions, etc). Again, your reviews are outstanding! Please keep up the great work! Happy holidays!

Itll last longer than the charger .

I love Alex! Most detailed reviews ever! So excited to watch this!

I’ll always have a soft spot for my old Chevy Lumina (the Impala’s predecessor). It got me through some tough years as I was going through engineering school.

I think you should point out that the LaCrosse and XTS have touch-only controls and for drivers who like to keep their eyes on the road that's always going to be a safety issue. Also, it may not be a big deal in CA, but in other parts of the country it may be cold in the morning and hot by midday, so you need to adjust temperature often. The Impala is the only one with knobs for temp control which is faster than holding up/down buttons to change temperature. I've never found AUTO to work right. Dodge vehicles require you to use the touch-screen and dive into menus to change the vent mode. Chevy and some Fords have dedicated buttons.

you should name this video (A buick lacross review with some impala pictures)

I love the IMPALA 😎

Thanks for yet another excellent review. I test-drove a '15 Impala back to back with a Cadillac XTS last summer. The handling difference was noticeable; the Cadillac plowed less in the corners and the front end didn't get as bouncy when going over rough pavement & separation strips. Have yet to try a LaCrosse Premium II (with the HiPer strut suspension), but I suspect it will handle much like the XTS.

That backseat is huge!

AMAZING review!! The 'rainman' of auto reviewers...there is no equal to Alex! I was looking at the Impala....now I will check LaCrosse as I trust Alex's opinion. Thanks for covering this car Alex!

Got this car as my current rental. Not too bad, but I am praising the colossal trunk

Hey Alex, where was I when you posted this Video? I must of been in a coma. Lol. I have my opinion now of the Impala seeing I bought one last Summer 2017 LT and what sold me was so many attributes that this car offers. Some you pointed out. The Super Interior and Trunk space! The quietness and the comfortable ride. The MPG is damn good for a Full sized car, back up camera, Android Auto now with Satellite View Navigation, 4GLTE, Satellite Radio, and that Pano Roof along with the Great styling especially in the optional Red Tint Coat. These were all the things that attracted me to the car. But when I was able to buy it Brand New off the lot with only 13 miles for $25,500 instead of the retail price of $35K I was sold. For the price of a base midsized, or optioned compact car I got a “Real Car” Before I drove this I test drove the new Camry, Malibu, Accord, Civic, Etc. Nothing was a smooth and quiet and pretty as this Impala for cheaper money.

Looking to test drive a V6 Camry the dealer didn't have any in stock, so I test drove the 2016 Avalon and it felt too much like I was borrowing my dad's car: it floated between lanes on the highway. Just got back from a trip over which I had the 2016 LTZ2 Impala as a rental, and I have to say it drove very well. It felt just like my '08 Camry, just with an improved & larger interior.

Thanks for not wearing dark glasses.

you should mention that this is the most reliable non luxury full size sedan

Bruh, why you even trying to compare Hyundai, Kia, Toyota to a Chevy?! The charger and the Ford Taurus make sense, but the other cars are no competition

Oh boy! I have a Buick lacrosse 2010 fully loaded and just bought a 2016 impala LT, now that you say that I want another Buick lol but at least its 6 years newer than my Buick lol. Will definitely look at a Buick next

Just rented one for a week in Florida and it was able to easily handle all of our luggage. Two carry on's, one full size and 4 backpacks. It was also able to handle 5 people and 5 beach chairs easily. The driving dynamics were not the best but I've driven worse. All in all not a bad vehicle although the push button manual shifting is silly. Either use a gated shifter or paddles or just remove it.

Hey Alex. Great review as always. Are you planning on reviewing the new Volt any time soon? Thanks!

I have a 2015 LT with V6 ,it gets 33 MPG highway. There is efficient design for example the hood is composite, not steel.

I like the Impala (especially its' SS cousin) but GM could have sent you a car better equipped. No reflection on the review but there is something lacking about the car that I can't place my finger on.

Happy New Year Alex! For such a massive car, the rear headroom is really insufficient and a major design flaw. No wonder the taxi companies are going for the Prius v.

You do great reviews! Thank you!

Superb review!!!! 👍👍👍

You've done a lot on Chrysler and dodge but I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the smaller dodge dart. I've seen many mixed ratings and reviews. Love the Videos!

I like it. Oh crap! Am I growing up?

Another great review Alex!!!

Great review as always .

This confirms what we've known for 60 years; you simply get more for your money with the Buick. GM spends billions on the platform, and then sells it three different ways. They slather on the glitz in the Caddy and over charge for it, and they decontent the interior in the Chevy and sell it cheap. But in the Buick you get it all for reasonable money. That said, in the competition only one other car has any real character or soul - the Charger. It and the 300 are the only ones that stir any emotions in me.

are these new impala's as wide and long as the old ones back in the days like 70's and 80's, got one old impala as project car and god damn its huuuugeeee..

Great review. I have an Android phone. Does the car supports Android Auto?

Looks just like my car. Same color and all.

Great review Alex, Are you gonna test 2016 Chevy Malibu premiere 2.0 liter turbo soon?

Thank you for review , but we need another one for nissan maxima for fair compare

The hard plastic around vents and radio are for durability. Otherwise, very good review.

I think Chevrolet impala is a cool car I have nothing bad to say about it I know I love it

Would the higher end model have more soft touch materials?

Mr. Alex I would like to thank you in what you are doing 'reviewing cars.' It makes it easy for us as customers to find out what we really want. But I really hope that you make a review about the 2016 Toyota Avalon. I heard it has a different suspension compare to the 2015 model! I am waiting for your response Thanks

same they gave you a less loaded model i like the LED running lights and the better interior

Detailed review and informative well done.

Wow fantastic review 👍 perfectly done sir

RIP chevrolet impala and caprice

I rented on which was quite nice. Strange that you can not find a enclosed compartment reachable from driver that stores a regular sized iPad.

Can you review the 2016 Malibu Premier

And again, nothing about the manual mode. I would like to know if the +/- button is as awkward in its usage as has been claimed

Can you please do your awesome detail review on the new 2016 Ford Explorer limited AWD?

Alex, I am curious as to why you did this review after doing one on the 2014 model Impala? Did Chevy make some changes that you didn't mention?

Nice work - very informative

Thanks for posting this, I am bored to death.

Merry Christmas Alex :-)

hi alex i recently discover your channel and i like the detailed reviews u do, can u please review 2016 avalon they have fix the suspension i am really confused between it and the maxima thank you.

Wouldn't the Chevy SS count as a direct competitor to the Dodge Charger? ;-)

I'm thinking of buy a used 16' Chevy Impala.

U should have reviewed the premier

I disagree about the EPS vs old school hydraulic power steering, in almost every case EPS has a VERY disconnected feel when driving at any speed. The difference is VERY noticeable even among ordinary drivers.

Charger/300 v6 is standard and gets better highway milage, offer AWD, RWD standard, nicer cars, better priced. Chevy really blew it on this turd.

We need to bring back the truly large big cubic inch v8 ( 7 plus litres) American car a classy car made of steel wood leather and chrome

I watched both your review of the 2014 and the 2016 and the outcome of parts of the review was slightly different. Interesting. :)

so we didn't mention the avalon because it's not American? in sure he mentioned it as he's always detailed but I guess I wanted a comparison beyond a luxury brand and mentions of car (charger) that have a different purpose in mind

Sounds like the Buick Lacrosse is better

Don't Let Me Down

May you review the 2018 Ford Taurus?

Why didn't you review the 2LTZ?

Huh???? Kbb rated this as the best full size sedan

IMO...your missed wordings and comparisons tell me one thing...the Taurus IS the better car. You steer clear of it in much of your review here...and if you did bring it it, it would win.curious why, when you talk about this cars trunk and rear seat space or even engines, you never bring in the Taurus. It is the better comparison. And the Taurus 4 turbo is better at...everything. FWD vs AWD...always seems to come up in review. But why, really, when comparing these large sedans? Who would ever want the rear to come out when driving? Would 1 percent of the buyers? But 100 percent would want the interior space and weather safety of FWD. Having driven the Taurus in the Ozarks, it handles just terrific on the mountain's curvy roads. To...this car is really a cheap Buick. And it screams it. The side IS the Buick. Taurus wins, especially with the prices in real life. It is always on sale and offers are great.

Beautiful car.

...but what about Chevy reliability?......> crickets

What about the Ford Taurus

If they mad it a v8 I would have gotten one miss my chevy's

alex your the man

Dope!! I sleep in my trunk ! It big

Fun Fact: my name is Alex!

love it

is this the lt or the ls?

Damn he speaks fast

Alex is fantastic ... car... not soo much

Domestic cars should be cheaper than their competitors

Aw, I haven't had the same sort of luck. Two weeks ago I was on holiday with the impala as my rental (I'm 13, my dad drives), the handling was awful (imo) and we the steering kept jerking about non-violently we ended up in Yosemite half way into a tree, because of that jerky steering. Broke my arm as well😕

It would have been pretty difficult to design an uglier interior than this.

2017 chevy impala 40000 millas my screen not working 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Dang, could have ran that car through a car wash firast. looks like you're bajaing that car. :(

I Dnt like the impala. I only liked the space but rude and handling choice would be the lacrosse. I heard a bit to much road noise for my liking. Also that steering wheel looks horrible, it's ugly and makes the interior looks cheap and old.

Let's not forget, this car crosses the price boundary of the Hyundai Genesis, which is miles ahead of this turd.

I don't like this car because to be so big why front wheel drive also is the Chevy its cars are proven to be breaking down after 80000 miles from my experience and I honestly don't like the way it looks

Please stop calling it full size. It's not even as big as a mid size car from the 60's

I saw your review for the 2014 Impala and you weren't that fat, I'm not saying it's a bad thing I'm saying at least hit the gym bro

Bl as h. Blah blah
